Artisan Copper Alembic Still: Craft Excellence in Every Drop
Meticulously hand-hammered by master coppersmiths, transforming ordinary ingredients into extraordinary spirits, essential oils, and botanical treasures.
🥃 The Alchemy of Copper
Unlike neutral stainless steel, our 1.1mm copper actively catalyzes chemical reactions that neutralize sulfur compounds, eliminate harsh impurities, and enhance complex flavor molecules, creating distinctively smooth character impossible with modern alternatives.
⚒️ Seven Generations of Mastery
Each still requires 37 hours of skilled labor. Our master coppersmiths hand-hammer every surface to create microscopic texture that maximizes copper contact with vapor, enhancing heat distribution and improving yield by up to 23% compared to machine-pressed alternatives.

While honoring traditional methods, we've integrated modern innovations like our patented serpentine condenser (28% more efficient) and laboratory-grade thermometer accurate to ±0.5°C, delivering consistent results batch after batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

👉 What can I make with this still?
You can craft pure essential oils, hydrosols (floral waters), herbal extracts, spirits (where legal), and even distilled water. It's ideal for DIY skincare, natural wellness, and home aromatherapy.
👉 Why is this made from copper and not stainless steel?
Copper naturally removes sulfur compounds and enhances both aroma and flavor during distillation. It’s the traditional, time-tested choice for creating clean, high-quality distillates.
👉 Does this come with everything I need to start?
Yes! Your kit includes:
✔️ Copper pot
✔️ Onion dome
✔️ Swan neck
✔️ Condenser
✔️ All required gaskets
Just add your botanicals and a heat source, and you’re ready to begin.
👉 Is it easy to clean and maintain?
Absolutely. Rinse with warm water after each use. For a brighter shine, use a mix of lemon and salt. Over time, copper develops a natural patina — it’s a sign of authenticity and part of its vintage charm.
👉 Where is it shipped from?
All orders are shipped from our U.S. warehouse, and we offer fast 2–3 day delivery across most states.
👉 Is it legal to own and use a still in the United States?
Yes — owning a still is legal in most states. However, using it to distill alcohol requires proper permits. You can legally use your still for making essential oils, hydrosols, and distilled water without any license.
