A juice extractor has a fruit receiving cavity having a center axis with first and second cavity portions movable along the center axis between an open position in which the first and second cavity portions are spaced away from each other a distance sufficient to allow a fruit to be inserted therein and a compressed position in which the first and second cavity portions are brought toward each other to compress the fruit. The first cavity portion has a press with a center recess. The second cavity portion has a bowl. The first and second cavity portions have cooperating geometry that allows the first and second cavity portions to be brought toward each other to the compressed position. The fruit receiving cavity has a blade support with cutting blades exposed therefrom. The cutting blades are positioned about the center axis and define planes parallel to the center axis.
