The present invention relates to a juice extractor. In order to provide an improved pulp handling, a juice extractor (10) comprises a grating disc (22) to grate food into juice and pulp, a feeding tube (20) to feed food to the grating disc, a rotating sieve (26) to separate juice and pulp, a juice collector (40), a pulp container (42) enclosing a pulp collection volume (44), an upper housing cover (50), and a base housing (52). The sieve is of a frustroconical form extending in diameter along the feeding direction from a top end (30) to a bottom end (32), such that the top end has a smaller diameter than the bottom end. During use, the juice is transported to the outside of the sieve, and the pulp is discharged to the pulp container arranged below the sieve. The juice collector is provided with a circumferential receptacle (48) connected to a discharge port (46), wherein the circumferential receptacle is provided such that juice transported to the outside of the sieve is collected. The upper housing cover is supported by the juice collector. Further, the pulp container comprises an outer wall (54), which outer wall is provided as a single-shell housing portion (56) resting on the base housing and supporting the juice collector. The outer wall encloses the pulp collection volume in a radial direction.
