Why Copper Changes Everything
Copper isn't just a material — it's why distillers have trusted alembic stills for over 800 years.
- ✓ Removes sulfur compounds — cleaner, smoother distillates with no off-notes
- ✓ Enhances aroma & purity — unlocks richer, more complex profiles in oils and distillates
- ✓ Superior heat distribution — precise temperature control during every run
- ✓ Naturally antimicrobial — copper inhibits bacteria for safer, purer results

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?
