What kind of oranges are best for juicing?

My orange juice does not taste like Tropicana.

Valencia. What kind of juicer are you using?

Valencia for sure.

EDIT: Blood oranges are interestingly flavored as well.

Did you add sugar and HFCS to your juiced oranges? Did you pasteurize it? Did you supplement it with Vitamin C and Calcium?

Small ones with thin skin.

In the season I can get 10-15 of them for $1. Makes excellent juice with hand juicer.

That's your problem. No matter what the manual says, that isn't a citrus juicer. You'll get pith in the juice and it will taste bitter.

I have this one also. Or something very similiar to it.

mmmmmmm. I grab those from my backyard. I just eat them by hand, delicious.

Are those electric juicers any good? The last one I used was very wasteful - I'd get ~1/2 the juice I could get out of juicing by hand. Plus it diddn't taste very good because the machine took the juice out of the whole piece not just the flesh.

And you're supposed to use the cheap soft dull oranges for juice ( like the Valencias above ). Are you using navels or something???
