"CopperGarden" Still "Alquitara" 5 Liters for Essential Oils
We can wholeheartedly recommend this still, which was specially forged for the distillation of essential oils. We use it ourselves and have over 10 years of experience with it. You will receive one of the best and most straightforward stills for producing essential oils on the market.
The still consists of the elaborately divided boiler with a capacity of nearly 5 liters, the steam section in between with aroma sieves, and the cooling tank mounted on top. It’s the finest handcrafted quality from the "CopperGarden®" manufactory, ideal for producing essential oils and hydrolates. The "CopperGarden®" ALQUITARA is made entirely of bare copper and has been manufactured lead-free and without any animal products.
What makes the ALQUITARA so special? Thanks to the top-mounted head cooling, the paths for the steam are particularly short. During steam or dragging distillation, the steam can carry the contained essential oils as well as the aromatic plant water with all its components unhindered into the cooler. All in all, the Alquitara is very straightforward and user-friendly, yet delivers excellent results. You will love it.
Thanks to the second removable copper sieve in the upper part of the still, you can fill the entire upper area up to the head of the still with plant material. We also recommend a piece of copper mesh as an accessory to prevent plant parts from entering the vapor tube. This ensures maximum yield with the highest safety. The "CopperGarden®" ALQUITARA is a true masterpiece, perfect for both beginners and professionals. You can't go wrong with it.

<h1>Are you allowed to distill privately with a 5-liter still?</h1> <p><strong>Germany: </strong>This still is subject to double registration requirements in Germany. This means that you can purchase and use this still as a private person for the distillation of essential oils and hydrolates. You do not need a permit, but you must register the purchase with the main customs office responsible for you within three days. For this, a simple letter with your address and an explanation of what you want to distill and where (no alcohol!) is sufficient. As sellers, we are also obliged to register your purchase with our main customs office in Gieu00dfen (Hessen) within three days, which we do.</p> <p><strong>Austria & Switzerland: </strong>In Austria and Switzerland, this still is also subject to registration requirements and may not be used privately for the distillation of alcohol. However, there is a difference: we must also report the sale to Austria, but not to Switzerland. For a shipment to Switzerland, we must (as with all EU countries) attach a copy of the invoice to the outside of the package so that Swiss customs can correctly calculate their import taxes and fees and charge them to you. Often, during shipping and customs processing via DHL, no one notices that this is a still that requires registration. However, you are still legally obliged to register the still and you are not allowed to distill alcohol privately. We have promised Swiss customs to explain this to all customers in Switzerland.</p> <p><strong>European Union: </strong>Thanks to the liberal internal trade law of the EU, we are allowed to send from Germany to all EU countries without customs registration. Please check the laws in your home country. If you order this still from us, we can send it to you within a few days as a GLS or DHL package without any formalities.</p> <p><strong>Worldwide Shipping: </strong>For a shipment outside the EU, we are required to attach a copy of the invoice to the outside of the package so that customs in your home country can correctly calculate their fees and taxes and charge you accordingly. Please check before purchasing this still whether you are allowed to own and use it in your home country. In most cases, shipping is not an issue, but some countries have strict laws against owning a still. We can ship the still, but we cannot take responsibility for the authorities and their actions in your home country.</p> <p>If you would like to order and your country is not listed in our shipping address country list, please contact us at info@destillatio.com. There may be shipping issues, but perhaps we can find a solution together or explain the shipping problem with your country.</p> <h2>Important to know:</h2> <p>In Germany and Austria, stills with a boiler of up to two liters are not subject to registration and in Switzerland, you can acquire stills with up to 3 liters without registration.</p> <p>Click here for a selection of stills that do not require registration: <a href="https://www.destillatio.eu/destille/destillen-zur-herstellung-aetherischer-oele-und-hydrolate/meldefreie-destillen-in-de-at-ch-fuer-aetherische-oele-kaufen" name="distillers without registration at Destillatio" target="_blank" title="distillers without registration at Destillatio">stills without registration at Destillatio</a></p>
