The DILLILLIERMEISTER Hobby-E2 is easy to handle. It is ready to use in a few simple steps. For heating, place the distillery on an induction plate. For cooling you need a pot, bucket or bowl of cold water - 10 liters should be enough. With a simple, low-power pump (such as aquarium pump), you can direct water from the reservoir to port 4.4. The hot water leaves the cooling above 4.5. They redirect it back to their water container. Since the cooler is amply sized for its task, a small water flow is sufficient for the cooling.
 

DESTILLIERMEISTER E2-3 Supreme-Plus

Legal and registration-free stainless steel still in heavy quality for essential oils. This still impresses with its particularly solid material quality. With 3 liters of plant space, you have a decent volume in the hobby area to process larger quantities of plants or drugs. By raising the aroma basket (optionally available as an accessory) you can also experiment with smaller quantities, but you should then work with reduced heating power. The steam is generated in an extra boiler under the plant container, so that contact with boiling water can be excluded.
The best thing is: Since the kettle only has a volume of 2 liters despite the large plant container, the DESTILLIERMEISTER E2-3 Supreme-Plus is also legal in Germany and Austria and can be sold and operated without notification to customs.

20 ml Essenial Oil within 15 Minutes
With over 4 liters of plant space they have plenty of volume to process even larger amounts of plants or drugs.

The steam is produced in an extra boiler under the plant container, so that a contact with boiling water can be excluded. The best thing is: Since the kettle is only 2 liters in volume despite the large plant container, the DESTILLIERMEISTER E2-4 Supreme is also legal in Germany and Austria and may be sold and operated without notification.
Simpel handing:

• Pour 1.8 liters of water into the water / steam boiler,
• Place up to 4 liters of plant pipe and close with tension locks,
• Insert aroma basket,
• fill with up to 4 liters of herbs or drugs - do not compress,
• seal as described below
• fit cover 5. and tighten tension locks 4.1,
• insert distillation bridge 6 in socket 5.1,
• screw the coolant hoses to the cooler,
• switch on the heat source and collect oil and Hydrolat at 6.6,
• distill for a maximum of 15 to a maximum of 20 minutes at a higher power (induction plate 2000 watts).

Water / steam tank and plant / drug tube, as well as all distillate leading pipelines are made in high quality stainless steel.

NEW! No more silicone seals required

DESTILLIERMEISTER E2-4 Supreme-Plus

Legal, registration-free still made of stainless steel for essential oils and with a full 4 litres of plant space.

This system differs from the standard E2-4 variant in the following improvements:

• The boiler and the plant tube are not rigidly connected but can be disconnected by means of a 3/4’ V4A screw connection.
• The plug-in socket for the distillation bridge, plugged in tightly, is made of high-quality V4A stainless steel (instead of red brass in the standard version).
• The plant basket is height-adjustable so that smaller quantities can also be distilled.

25ml of essential oil in 8 minutes – that's what we achieved with 400g of lavender flowers.

With 4 litres of plant space, you have plenty of volume to process larger quantities of plants or drugs. The steam is generated in a separate boiler under the plant container, so there is no possibility of coming into contact with boiling water.

And the best thing is: since the water boiler has a volume of only 2 litres despite the large plant container, the DESTILLIERMEISTER E2-4 Supreme-Plus can be sold and operated legally and without reporting to customs in Germany and Austria.

Easy to use:

• In the new model, no seals are required between 1. and 2. as well as 3. and 4. due to optimised clamping locks. Sealing works metallically. Therefore, there are no follow-up costs for this model.
• Fill at least 1.3 litres, not more than 1.7 litres, ideally demineralised or distilled water into the water/steam boiler.
• Put on the 4 litre plant tube and close the boiler with the clamps 1.1.
• Put the aroma basket into the plant tube and open it.
• Fill up to the edge with herbs or drugs - do not compress. There are about 4.2 litres.
• Put on the lid 3. and tighten the clamps 2.4,
• insert the distillation bridge 5 into the socket 4.1,
• screw the cooling water hoses to the condenser.
• Switch on the heat source and collect the hydrosol with oil at 5.6.
• Distil at high power (induction plate 3000 watts) for about 8 minutes. There should be 500 ml of distillate.

The water/vapour tray and plant/drug tube, as well as all distillate-carrying pipes and connections, are made of stainless steel
