Our budget list starts here. At $699, the 30 gallon EZ Kit is the lowest-priced of the 30 gallon pure copper stills on our list, and it still has the Advanced Model design.
Quick list facts
- Size: 30 gallon
- Budget: from $699
- Cap: EZ Seal Cap
- Thumper: 4 inch thumper port
- Material: pure copper
The two features worth noting
The EZ Seal Cap sits on top of the pot and closes it off for the run, which is exactly where you want things simple. The 4 inch thumper port is the opening that links the pot to a thumper, the extra chamber many distillers use to give vapor a second pass. Think of it as one more variable in your experiment: it changes how the vapor behaves before it reaches the condenser.
Who should start here
This is the still we list for the curious first-timer who wants real copper and a real lab feel without stretching the budget. Copper, heat, and vapor work the same whether you spend $699 or several times that. What you learn about controlling heat and making clean cuts carries over to any still you buy next. If you'd rather have a finished, complete unit, compare this one with the 30 gallon complete Advanced Model on our size list.

A still is legal to own in the US, but making alcohol takes a federal TTB permit. Follow federal, state, and local law. Stills are also used for distilled water and essential oils.
