Finally, Matcha
Has Its Own Machine

The first powder-to-shot platform · matcha first

Café-quality matcha in seconds, in your kitchen or on the bar. No whisk, no mess. Consistent every time.

MAX LouJi POWDER SHOT LouJi™

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.

Perfect Shot

Automatically prepares the ideal shot from any powder.

Ready in Seconds

Delivers a smooth, rich shot in just seconds.

Consistent Every Time

Engineered to ensure perfect results, every shot.

No Manual Whisking

No whisk, no clumps, no mess.

The technology

From powder to shot, in one press.

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.

Load the hopper

Fill it with any powder: matcha, cacao, protein, mushroom, you name it. No capsules, no proprietary refills, no waste.

Your powder, your choice

Sift & dose

A 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 sifter

Extract the shot

Water at the right temperature meets powder at the right speed. The result pours smooth and full-bodied in seconds, no whisk required.

Seconds, not minutes
Powder, not pods.

Pods 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.

For home & café

Made for your kitchen, and the morning rush.

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. Gram for gram, matcha now costs several times more than specialty coffee, and coffee gets a €20,000 machine. LouJi™ ends the double standard.

Two models: the Home Model for your kitchen, the Pro Model for the bar. All 25 Founders Editions are claimed and the Home Model is sold out. Cafés now join through The LouJi™ Residency: machine, Tamis™ and matcha for one monthly number.

~10s
From press to poured shot, hands-free.
0 whisks
No whisk to rinse. The wet path runs an automatic rinse between shots; exterior surfaces only need a routine wipe-down.
4.0 g
Dosed exactly. A hand scoop swings ±1 g: the costliest leak on the bar.
1 hopper
Up to approximately ~100 shots per 400 g hopper at a 4 g dose.
Matcha first

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.

By hand

  • Two to three minutes per bowl
  • Clumps when the wrist tires
  • A whisk to rinse after each
  • Every cup a little different

With LouJi™

  • A finished shot in seconds
  • Sifted smooth, never gritty
  • Nothing to whisk or wash
  • Identical, cup after cup
Questions

Good to know.

Powder, always. LouJi™ takes any loose powder through an internal sifter: matcha, cacao, protein, mushroom and more. No capsules, no proprietary refills, no proprietary powder lock-in. Use the powders you already love.

About €0.68 all-in on the 36 month LouJi™ Matcha PRO plan: 4.0 g at €149 per kilo, ten seconds of bar time, the €69 monthly machine payment spread across 1,800 monthly drinks, and the Tamis™ included.

The same drink by hand, with your powder around €150 per kilo, runs about €1.20 once the five-gram scoop and the whisking minutes are counted. You keep about €0.52 a shot. Working estimates, confirmed on your counter. 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.

The Home Model is sold out and all 25 Founders Editions are claimed: join the Home waitlist to be first for the next run. Cafés join through The LouJi™ Residency, with placements from Q1 2027 after certification: request your Residency.

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. See The LouJi™ Residency →

For cafés, trailers and commercial use

Built for the bar.

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.

Approximately ten seconds per shot and designed for back-to-back service. Final sustained commercial throughput will be confirmed at production lock.

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™ sifting cartridge is replaced fresh every month rather than scrubbed, brush included: nobody should be cleaning a fine mesh at the end of a shift.
