Does the X-1 work with citrus fruit?
Yes, citrus is a common ingredient in many recipes made on the X-1. Depending on the type of citrus and amount of citrus in the recipe, you may choose to leave the rind on, or peel the citrus.
Doesn’t the spinning blade in the grinder create heat and oxidize the juice?
The blade is very sharp and only contacts the fruit for a fraction of a second and therefore does not create any measurable heat or oxidation. If you put cold produce in, you get cold juice out. This is a true cold-press.
What power and plug does the X-1 need?

What press bags does the X-1 use?
The Medium Weave All Purpose bag is the standard X-1 press bag, used for most greens, most fruits and mixed recipes (not recommended for citrus or beets). For beets, carrots and other hard vegetables, use the Fine Weave bag; for nut milk, the Monofilament "Nut Milk Bag".
