Alessi Juicy Salif Citrus Juicer
£85
|The Alessi Juicy Salif is an aluminium-cast citrus juicer, standing 11.42 inches high on three rubber feet. It turns the humble task of squeezing citrus into a piece of countertop theatre, which is either splendid or a very direct statement about one’s relationship with lemons.

One-line verdict
This aluminium citrus juicer makes an absurdly sculptural centrepiece of breakfast, provided you accept hand-washing as the admission charge.
Best for
People who want a citrus juicer displayed on the worktop and do not mind rinsing and drying it immediately afterwards.
Skip it if
Skip it if dishwasher-safe convenience matters more than owning a lemon juicer with the posture of a small alien tripod.
The full picture
Most citrus juicers have the social standing of a damp teaspoon: useful, cheap-looking and swiftly banished to the back of a cupboard. The Alessi Juicy Salif has other plans. Its aluminium-cast, three-legged form is designed to remain visible, apparently waiting for a lemon and an appreciative audience.
We think that is precisely its appeal. This is a citrus juicer for kitchens where the worktop has become part food-prep area, part domestic museum, and part dumping ground for post and unopened parcels. The Juicy Salif at least gives the chaos one intentional-looking object to gather around.
There is practical housekeeping behind the theatre. The manual calls for an immediate rinse under running water and drying afterwards; abrasive detergents can damage the surface finish, and the whole thing is not dishwasher-safe. That does not make it difficult, exactly, but it does make it a poor match for anyone whose washing-up strategy is broadly "deal with it later".
The useful reassurance is that its three rubber feet can be replaced through an Alessi dealer if lost or worn. Aluminium may also develop oxidation stains, especially in marine climates, although the manual says this does not affect the quality of the juice. A coastal kitchen can therefore keep its citrus rituals, just with a little more patina than the catalogue fantasy.
The Irresistible
- A citrus juicer rendered as a tall, sculptural aluminium object rather than another squat plastic gadget.
- Its 11.42-inch height gives it a properly conspicuous worktop presence; hiding it in a drawer would rather miss the point.
The Clever Part
- Three rubber feet support the design, and replacements are available through an Alessi dealer if they are lost or worn.
- The supplied listing identifies it clearly as a citrus juicer in aluminium casting.
- The manual confirms that oxidation stains do not compromise the quality of the squeezed juice.
The Fine Print
- It needs rinsing immediately under running water and drying after use, which is a small but non-negotiable domestic admin task.
- Abrasive detergents may damage the surface finish, so this is not the place for enthusiastic scouring.
The Reality Check
- It is not dishwasher-safe; anyone seeking a chuck-it-in-and-forget-it citrus juicer should walk away before breakfast becomes a maintenance programme.
- In marine climates, the aluminium may develop oxidation stains. The juice remains unaffected, but perfectionist worktops may have opinions.
