Citrus America shipped its first X-Pro juicer unit in late March 2026, marking a significant product milestone. The launch has generated strong market interest — including a potential follow-on order from the AFS trade show and an inquiry from a Disney resort — confirming the X-Pro's broad appeal. A K-12-themed success story is planned for the April newsletter.
The X-Pro is Citrus America's newest juicer model, distinguished by a screwless design and a futuristic aesthetic that Miriam Framson described as creating an "iPhone effect" — demand driven partly by novelty and visual appeal. The K-12 customer (a school district) has been purchasing Citrus America equipment across multiple schools, with the most recent sale being an 8000-series unit (model to be confirmed).
April 2026 newsletter
To avoid the lengthy approval process that previously delayed this story (four levels of client approval, story drafted in 2025), the team agreed to use a generic K-12-themed hero image rather than client-specific photography. Suggested visual direction: educational props (pens, apples, notebooks) or a school setting without identifiable students or facilities.
"I'm wondering if we want to get this up, can we do something more generic? Like some kind of educational K-12 vibes banner... Keep it generic where we know we don't have to get anything approved anymore."
— Miriam Framson
The success story should feature the specific juicer model installed at the school. Miriam will confirm the exact model (likely an 8000 SBTS) and the dealer channel it went through.
