How it works

Pressure—not brute force.

A needle through the cork, one press, and a puff of inert gas lifts it out whole — the same mechanism the family patented and has been building in California ever since.

Pierce

Pierce

Use the built-in foil cutter, then guide the needle straight down through the center of the cork.

Press
02

Press

One press releases the gas beneath the cork.

Pop

The pressure lifts the cork cleanly and intact—no twisting, pulling or crumbling.

A family business that still makes the thing it invented.
Est. 1961

A family business that still makes the thing it invented.

It started in a workshop in 1961. Three generations later the family still holds the patent, still runs the line in Novato, California, and still packs the cartridges that go in the box.

That is why the refills never disappear, why an opener bought years ago still takes a standard cartridge, and why the thing feels like it was made by someone who cared.
