Why Malle-Schmickl
What you buy from us — and why it makes a difference.
-
Our own design
Our stills and systems are not standardised mass-produced goods.
-
We write the book on it, too
Renowned practical guides — “Schnapsbrennen als Hobby”, “Ätherische Öle selbst herstellen”, “Essig herstellen als Hobby” — written by the very people who developed your system.
-
Built for real use
No display pieces. Robust equipment that works in the kitchen, the cellar and the workshop.
-
For every level
Starter set with clear instructions, professional stills for the demanding.
-
Thought through as a gift
High-quality equipment, complete accessories, clear instructions.
-
Expertise from chemistry and practice
You notice it in the questions we can answer — and in the compromises we do not make in our designs.
First-hand knowledge
We develop the systems — and write the books to go with them.
Our practical guides are available in many editions. Written by the chemists who also develop the equipment — the book and the system come from the same hands.
