A juice extraction device for extracting juice from food includes a hollow juice extraction screw capable of being rotated along an axis and having a food inlet through which food enters the juice extraction device a mesh filter for separating the juice from the food, the mesh filter encompassing the juice extraction screw and a housing encompassing the mesh filter. The provision of a hollow juice extraction screw can minimize the length of the device while maintaining juicing efficiency. This feature also allows the device to be placed vertically, such that various components, including the juice exit, may be located at the bottom position for improved efficiency and convenience.
