95-Liter Steam Distillation Still - Coil Condenser (Copper)

The 95-liter steam distillation still – mushroom condenser, also known as an essential oil distiller, is ideal for steam distillation of all types of essential oils. It features a direct-cooling mushroom head and a filter column fitted between the boiler and the pre-chamber to improve reflux and filtration. Made entirely of copper, it includes a thermometer to monitor the boiler’s internal temperature so you can separate the heads, hearts, and tails of your run.

This essential oil alembic is handcrafted in Italy by master copper artisans and has a base thickness of 1.03 mm.

Using the still is straightforward: fill the boiler with water, place the botanicals on the copper mesh inside the filter column (which locks onto the boiler), then position the water-cooled top condenser. Connect the inlet and outlet hoses for continuous circulation and place the unit directly over the heat source.

The distillate obtained will first be a mixture of aromatic water and essential oil. Let it rest so the different specific gravities separate (the oil rises to the surface), or use a separating funnel to speed up the process.

The still is suitable for producing essential oils (perfumes, liqueurs, remedies) and spirits (grappa, brandy, whisky, fruit distillates, etc.). It can also be used for high-proof alcohol such as vodka, where legally permitted.

We recommend pairing the extractor with a separating funnel to simplify the separation of essential oils from the aromatic water.
