About Us

CopperHolic: Tradition Meets Innovation. We build handcrafted copper alembic stills for people who love the craft—makers who want beautiful tools, reliable performance, and cleaner aromatic results.

Our Story

CopperHolic began with a simple obsession: the timeless alembic design. For centuries, copper alembics have been trusted for gentle, consistent distillation. We took that heritage and refined it for modern use—so you can create hydrosols, essential oils, and other botanical distillates with confidence.

Our Mission

To deliver premium copper distilling equipment that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern practicality—built for both first-time beginners and serious hobbyists.

Why CopperHolic

  • Handcrafted copper build: Made with care by skilled artisans—built to be used, not just displayed.
  • Thick copper on key models: Many of our stills use heavy-duty 1.1mm copper for stability and consistency (see individual product pages for exact specs).
  • Designed for control: Features like a built-in thermometer (on select models) help you monitor runs with more confidence.
  • Botanical-focused results: Built for hydrosols and essential oil workflows—especially beginner-friendly setups.
  • Support that actually helps: If you’re unsure about setup, water flow, cleaning, or choosing a size, we’ll guide you step-by-step.
  • U.S. shipping: We currently ship within the United States. Full details are on our Shipping Policy.

Craftsmanship You Can Feel

  • Handcrafted finish: Every still is assembled and finished with attention to detail.
  • Thoughtful design: Built to support steady heating and effective condensation.
  • Beautiful by design: A still shouldn’t be hidden—our pieces are made to look as good as they perform.

Our Commitment

  • To customers: Clear support before and after you buy—help choosing the right size, setup guidance, and troubleshooting.
  • To quality: We don’t compromise on build standards because the output depends on it.
