(and as limes are mostly seed free, you don't have to worry about them slipping through the larger holes of the yellow ones.) If you think you're not getting enough of the juice extracted, just load both (pre-juiced) halves into it, and give it another squeeze. There also exist ones that can do two different sizes (my aunt has one, don't know if it's this brand or not, but it looks similar) : amazon.com/Zulay-Premium-Quality-Metal-Squeezer/dp/B00YBP918M | |

| Aug 11, 2010 at 21:37 | comment | added | franko | i should have mentioned that i have three different (color coded!) sizes, one each for limes (green), lemons (yellow) and oranges (orange, of course). got 'em at our local mexican market. not sure if i can post links, but here's the lemon and lime one: tinyurl.com/29lmkoo; and here's an orange one: tinyurl.com/2fze4x5 | |

| Aug 11, 2010 at 15:17 | comment | added | franko | this is what i use, too. they are cheap, easy to clean and store (no counter space needed -- in fact, mine does double duty as decoration by hanging on my wall), and it does a good job. | |
