All 25 claimed Founders Edition · Pro The 25 numbered machines are gone. The Pro now reaches bars one way: The LouJi™ Residency.

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. That's the Pro difference.

More than one bar? One Residency agreement can cover several machines: just say so in your request.
Ships to France, Belgium, the US, the UAE and beyond.

90 seconds of whisking and rinsing at €18 an hour = €0.45 bar time

LouJi™ on the 36-month Matcha PRO plan

€0.68

4.0 g at €149 per kg ≈ €0.60 powder

10 seconds at €18 an hour = €0.05 bar time
