Café-quality matcha in seconds, in your kitchen or on the bar. No whisk, no mess. Consistent every time.
LouJi™ is not a mixer, a dispenser or a shake maker. Machines that stir powder into liquid already exist. LouJi™ is the first powder-to-shot platform: an isolated dose of fine powder, sifted through the Tamis™, transformed into a hot, repeatable shot. The controlled transformation, not the stir. This is how powders will be served. Matcha first.
Automatically prepares the ideal shot from any powder.
Delivers a smooth, rich shot in just seconds.
Engineered to ensure perfect results, every shot.
No whisk, no clumps, no mess.
Matcha, cacao, protein, mushroom: they aren't beans or pods, they're powders. So we built the machine around the powder itself, not around a capsule someone else controls.
Fill it with any powder: matcha, cacao, protein, mushroom, you name it. No capsules, no proprietary refills, no waste.
Your powder, your choiceA precision sifter breaks down every clump and measures the exact gram weight for a single shot: the step a barista does by hand, done the same way every time.
Powder through a sifterWater at the right temperature meets powder at the right speed. The result pours smooth and full-bodied in seconds, no whisk required.
Seconds, not minutesPods lock you into one brand, one grind, and a recurring bill. Powder keeps the craft open: choose your powder, control your dose, and pull a real shot. LouJi™ handles the sifting and the consistency, so a perfect cup never depends on a steady hand.
Your first cup before work or the hundredth order of a café shift: by hand, powder drinks are slow, fiddly and never quite the same twice. LouJi™ turns any powder into a press-and-pour shot: café-quality on your countertop, and fast enough for the busiest bar.
And it doses to the gram: with matcha prices doubled since 2023, the hand scoop is the most expensive habit on the bar. LouJi™ ends it.
Two models: the Home Model for your kitchen, the Pro Model for the bar. The Pro Model is open for pre-order now, limited to 25 numbered Founders machines; the Home Model is sold out.

The ritual, kept.
The labour, gone.
For nine centuries, a good bowl of matcha meant a bamboo whisk, a steady wrist, and a few quiet minutes. It's beautiful, and whether you're rushing out the door or slammed behind a bar, it's hard to repeat. LouJi™ keeps what matters in the cup and removes the strain from the hands behind it.
Matcha comes first on purpose: it is one of the hardest powders to get right. It clumps, it settles, it burns. Nail matcha, and every powder after it is easy: cacao, protein, mushroom, the whole platform follows.
Powder, always. LouJi™ takes any loose powder through an internal sifter: matcha, cacao, protein, mushroom and more. No capsules, no proprietary refills, no brand lock-in. Use the powders you already love.
About €1.05 all-in at typical café numbers: 4.0 g dosed exactly at €250 per kg of matcha and ten seconds of bar time. The same drink by hand runs about €1.70 once the scoop swing and the whisking minutes are counted. Set your own numbers on the cafés page.
Coffee machines are built for ground beans and tamped pucks. Powders like matcha, cacao and protein are ultra-fine: they clump and need whisking. LouJi™ is engineered specifically for powder: it sifts, doses, and extracts a true liquid shot.
The Home Model is sized for your kitchen countertop: one perfect shot at a time. The Pro Model is built for high-volume cafés: faster extraction, an auto-cleaning cycle, and a replaceable sifter for all-day service. Pick your model on the shop page, and reach out if you're outfitting multiple locations.
LouJi™ pulls the shot perfectly every time. From there, build whatever your menu calls for: pour it over milk for a latte, over ice for an iced drink, or serve it straight.

If you're searching for a matcha machine, LouJi™ is what you're looking for: it pulls a café-quality ceremonial matcha shot in seconds. But it isn't limited to matcha: the same precision sifter handles cacao, protein, mushroom and any powder you load. One machine, every powder. Pre-order the machine →
The Pro Model is built for the bar: faster extraction for back-to-back orders, an auto-cleaning cycle between shots, and a replaceable sifter engineered for all-day service. The Home Model is the countertop version for a kitchen, one shot at a time. If you are serving customers, the Pro is the machine.
About ten seconds per shot. Five to ten drinks inside fifteen minutes is comfortable, and a market day of twenty to fifty drinks sits well inside the machine’s working range.
Every dose is measured mechanically rather than scooped by hand. A barista’s scoop swings by up to a quarter of the dose; LouJi™ delivers 4.0 g the same way every time. That is where the waste goes, and where the inconsistency goes with it.
Yes. Water volume, temperature and dose are stored as a recipe, so the same drink repeats exactly, shift after shift, whoever is standing at the bar.
The hopper is sealed and opaque, because light and moisture are what degrade matcha in storage. The dry powder path is kept separate from the wet side of the machine, and no water or steam reaches the powder before the dry stage is complete.
The dose is set mechanically, not by settling or gravity feed, so transport does not put the machine out of calibration and no recalibration is needed on arrival. Built for a bar that moves.
The wet path runs its own rinse between shots and the exterior needs a wipe down. The Tamis™ sifter is replaced on a schedule rather than scrubbed, brush included: nobody should be cleaning a fine mesh at the end of a shift.
