Create rose water, witch hazel, chamomile mist, and orange blossom water β perfect for DIY skincare, natural toners, facial sprays, and gentle home fragrances.
Concentrate the active compounds of herbs, roots, and flowers into powerful botanical extracts and tinctures. Copperβs natural properties enhance purity and bring out the richest aromatic profiles from every plant you work with.
Produce ultra-pure distilled water for CPAP machines, humidifiers, irons, and aquariums. Extract concentrated herbal preparations for tinctures and natural remedies.
Why Copper Changes Everything
Copper isn't just a material β it's the reason distillers have trusted alembic stills for over 800 years. Unlike stainless steel, copper actively improves what you create:
- β Removes sulfur compounds β producing cleaner, smoother distillates with no metallic taste
- β Enhances aroma & purity β copper catalyzes reactions that unlock richer, more complex profiles in oils and distillates
- β Superior heat distribution β even thermal conductivity means precise temperature control during every run
- β Naturally antimicrobial β copper surfaces inhibit bacteria for safer, purer results every time
The CopperHolic Difference
Every Single Still Is Hand-Hammered.
No Machines. No Shortcuts.
Each piece is individually shaped by master coppersmiths using techniques passed down through generations. The result is thick-gauge copper walls, signature hammered texture, and a level of density and durability that factory-stamped stills simply cannot match. This isn't mass-produced equipment β it's a handcrafted tool built to last decades.
