The apparatus consists of a two wire mesh cones with interlocking frames, a cylindrical glass jar and a water condenser with inlet/outlet tubes. Two models available: 1 and 4 liters capacity. The extractors have to be used with a suitable hot plate with aluminium disk for better heat distribution. The filter paper  is not included and have to be ordered separately. See accessories.
