Abstract
An upper extractor module includes a cover and a juice extractor fluted dome and trough. A pulp filter filters the juice which flows into a lower extension conduit. An intermediate module has a compartment in fluid isolation from the juice extraction compartment. A motor, drive gears and switch are in the intermediate compartment for rotationally driving the extractor. A pitcher forms a lower module on which the intermediate module fits. The juice flows into the pitcher through the intermediate module via the extension. A paddle depends from the intermediate module and is driven by the motor and gears simultaneously with the extractor, but at a higher speed for mixing beverages in the pitcher formed from the extracted juice and other ingredients such as water, sweeteners and so on. Different extractors may be attached for different size fruits. A lid may be attached over the pitcher for juice/beverage storage.
