The still is a piece of engineering that carries centuries of history and tradition. Originating from the Arab world, the term "still" comes from the Arabic "al-inbiq", which means "the vessel", a reference to the container where distillation takes place. The distiller is, therefore, the operator or artisan who dedicates himself to the art of distilling, using the still as the main tool for his practice.
Copper still is widely considered the best material for still construction, and is the preferred choice of many professional and amateur distillers. Copper is a metal with excellent thermal conductivity, which helps to distribute heat evenly. Furthermore, it has properties that help eliminate sulfur compounds that may arise during the fermentation process, thus ensuring the superior quality of the distillate.

The design of the still (such as column still, pot still, etc.) and its size should be chosen based on the amount of liquid that will be distilled and the type of beverage you want to produce. Each design has its own advantages and is suitable for different types of distillation.
The most common material for stills is copper, due to its excellent thermal conduction and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is also an option, but copper is generally preferred for distilling alcoholic beverages for its unique properties that can remove sulfides from the mixture.
Consideration should be given to the energy efficiency of the still, looking for ways to maximize heat transfer and minimize energy waste.
