Manual Citrus Juicer for a Family of Four
Porti is a citrus juicer which has 4 glass for a family of four. It has modular parts which are available for dishwasher.
Problem Definition
It is hard to squeeze with the commercial orange squeezer due to its working mechanism. Handle needs to be turned multiple times.
Conclusion Easy to use The new product should offer a tidier process that keeps hands and kitchen clean.
Easy to clean Offers a cleaner process Saving time Saving effortless
Squeezing an orange without a proper tool takes too much time and effort.
Finalisation The container parts are also for using as a glass which enables us to clean them easily after using. The work principle of handle part provide us to squeeze 2 oranges at the same time.
