One major advantage Breville Juice Fountain Cold Plus has over the very first iteration of juicers equipped with cold-spin technology is its space-saving design. Instead of the traditional horizontal configuration, it has an L-shape form to fit smaller counter spaces.

Apart from the L-shaped design, if you’ll take a look that the original Juice Fountain Cold, you’ll see a startling difference. Breville BJE530BSS is more refined and elegant.

In terms of performance, there’s no difference between the two. It’s just a matter of preference. If you like stainless steel but a more expensive juicer, go for the Plus. If you prefer a budget-friendly option, go for the classic Breville Juice Fountain Cold Juicer.

Or if you or your family have a massive appetite for nutrient-rich juices, you might want to go big by getting the Juice Fountain Cold XL.

Breville Juice Fountain Cold Plus Features

The Juice Fountain Cold Plus has a number of features that make it a strong choice for a fast, centrifugal juicer.

Wide Chute

One of the best features is the wide chute found on the Breville Juice Fountain Cold Plus. Being 3.5 inches wide, you don’t have to chop your produce into small pieces.

This saves considerable time. You’ll spend more time juicing and less time prepping!

Slip On Juicing Nozzle

With the innovative slip on nozzle, you can juice a single serving without using the large pitcher. That way, you don’t have to involve a 2-liter container when all you want to juice is a few apples.

The rubberized nozzle easily slips on and grips itself into place. Out comes the juice into your glass instead of all over your kitchen!

Cold Extraction System

The Cold Extraction System is where the “Cold” comes from in the name Breville Juice Fountain Cold Plus. Breville advertises the technology as a way to reduce the heat transfer from the device to the juice.

Heating juice destroys some of the nutrients that would otherwise be found in the juice. It is also harmful to the taste. So Breville’s design is way to get around–as much as possible–the drawbacks of fast, centrifugal juicers.

Is Breville BJE530BSS easy to use?

Centrifugal juicers are quite simple to operate. With Juice Fountain Cold Plus’ ultra-wide chute, your prep time will be significantly reduced. It can accommodate a whole apple, a whole carrot, celery stalks, or anything that can pass through its 3.5-inch opening. All it needs is a little help from the food pusher.

Is it easy to clean?

High-speed juicers are a tad difficult to maintain because of the following.

1. They have huge parts, which can take some time to wash.
2. The filter basket accumulates fibers and residue, which can build up if not taken care of right away.

On the positive side, most parts of Breville The Juice Fountain Cold Plus are dishwasher safe, but please don’t skip running it under your faucet with warm water. 

Dishwashers can damage plastic over time, so you’ll have to wash it manually every now and then.

To make things easier, you can line up the pulp bin with a biodegradable bag. Now, you don’t have to deal with the oversized pulp collector.

Juice Quality

Breville claims that its proprietary Cold Spin Technology can extend the juice’s shelf life to 72 hours. If that’s true, it’s comparable to cold press juicers. The way Breville “achieved” this is through minimizing heat transfer by moving the spout above the cutting disk. This minor modification will keep heat transfer at less than 1.8°F.

However, I’ll take it with a grain of salt as heat only plays a small part in the breakdown of essential nutrients. Oxidation eclipses heat in the grand scheme of things, which is impossible to minimize in the case of high-speed juicing machines.

Still, cold press juicers have the edge when it comes to nutrient retention and juice extraction efficiency.

What Kinds of Produce Can It Juice?

Breville Juice Fountain Cold Plus will work best on dense produce, softer ones, and citruses. You can mix leafy greens along with water-rich fruits and vegetables like cucumber, apples, etc., but you shouldn’t juice green leafy vegetables all by itself.

Technical Specifications

Is the Breville Juice Fountain Cold Plus worth it?

The Breville The Juice Fountain Cold Plus, or should I say the Juice Fountain Cold family are quite impressive, but I’m still not sold on the idea that it’s on par with slow juicers. If we’ll keep the battleground to high-speed juicers, the Juice Fountain Cold Plus, without a doubt, is on top of the food chain.

If you like things fast, then Breville BJE530BSS could be your perfect match.
