"CopperGarden®" Tabletop Still ITALIA

The ITALIA is a fantastic and long-established tabletop still made of copper that you can purchase here in its basic configuration with the new aroma sieve and a spirit burner. In the newly revised 2022 version, the helmet can be fully utilized for steam distillation. The aroma sieve can be screwed on below and securely holds all botanicals, herbs, and spices in the steam. The ITALIA is a wonderful still for steam distilling hydrosols and can even be used in Austria for the production of gin and spirits using alcohol.

The boiler holds exactly 2 liters, in accordance with the alcohol tax laws (AT & DE), and is therefore exempt from registration. You can acquire this still from us without any bureaucracy and use it at home. Due to its compact design, the ITALIA still is always ready for use and a versatile talent. You can distill directly from the boiler (e.g. rose water) or, with a filled helmet, thanks to the aroma sieve, you can also distill and flavor in the steam. As a versatile tabletop still, the ITALIA offers the possibility of fractional distillation of essential oils on a small scale. Thanks to the short steam paths, you can expect good quality and even use the distillation set therapeutically in aromatherapy.

The ITALIA is also quite stable and safe. The distillation helmet is securely closed with three screws, preventing accidental opening during distillation. You can distill safely wherever you want, even with children or pets around. The ITALIA still is designed as a modern tabletop still for hobby use but is equally suitable for commercial demonstrations and experimental distillations.

Additionally, the new stand with spacer cork is great. Even if you purchase the economical basic configuration with a spirit burner, you can always order a "Rommelsbacher" electric hot plate separately for electric distillation. The stand has been specially redesigned for this purpose and is compatible with both the included spirit burner and the electric hot plate with the included cork.

With the ITALIA still, you can produce concentrated plant waters and high-quality essential oils. Depending on the laws in your home country, you can also use it to flavor alcohol (spirit production) or transform wine into brandy or beer into beer schnapps. The cooler is screwed onto the vapor tube, and thanks to the cooling water inlet and outlet, you can even create a proper cooling water circulation and use the still for continuous distillation.

Note: The pictures still show the previous version with the aroma sieve on the boiler. We provide the revised 2022 model with a fully fillable distillation helmet. Some pictures show the version with the "Al-Ambik®" distillation thermometer installed. It is not included in the delivery but can be ordered separately. We will deliver the still with the thermometer already installed as shown in the pictures. The thermometer can also be retrofitted later, but it is not included in this package.
