The Matcha Maker Starter Kit includes everything you need to initiate a daily ritual of freshly-ground matcha. The elegantly designed machine stores, grinds and whisks our organic leaves. We include three 4 gram-packets of our Matcha Leaf Blends so you can sample each one before subscribing or purchasing more.

“Freshly-ground” means the finest characteristics of the tea are retained longer than they would be in pre-ground matcha powder, much like coffee beans stay fresh longer than pre-ground coffee. Using the Matcha Maker easily ensures you’re getting the best available matcha for your latte or other matcha recipe.

Grind-Only Mode

Perfect for those who want to whisk freshly-ground matcha the traditional way. Also great for cooking and baking with matcha powder.

  • A hand moves an empty whisking cup, with the whisk removed, onto the Matcha Maker platform.

    Step 1

    Place the dry whisking cup (without the whisk) on the platform and lock in place with the spout pointing away from you.　

  • A person touches the “strength” button on the Matcha Maker control panel.

    Step 2

    First, push the strength button once and the light will turn on. Second, push and hold the strength button until all three lights blink.

  • A person touches the “start” button on the Matcha Maker control panel.

    Step 3

    After a moment, push start. The lights will stop blinking, but will remain lit.

  • A person stands in front of the Matcha Maker, as freshly-ground matcha powder falls from the funnel into the cup.

    Step 4

    Wait as your fresh matcha falls from the grinder. The grinding process will take three minutes and a beep will indicate your powder is ready.

  • A cup full of bright Okumidori matcha powder is pulled off the Matcha Maker platform. Nearby is a bamboo whisk.

    Step 5

    Enjoy hand-whisking, cooking or baking.

    The grind-only mode makes 1.5 grams of powder.

  • A bright green video poster with a white-lettered title: “Quick Tips: Using Grind-Only Mode.”

Life changing!

I considered getting a Cuzen for over a year and I finally made it happen about 6 months ago. Now it is my every morning ritual and both me and (surprisingly) my husband have both totally stopped making coffee in the morning. It’s super easy to use and looks nice on my counter. The refills aren’t cheap but matcha in general is not cheap and we love knowing that it as fresh a cup of matcha as possible. I recommend to anyone who genuinely loves REAL matcha…not that powdered sugar junk at Starbucks.

This machine make freshest matcha!

I am very pleased with my purchase.

I have always bought coffee beans and ground them myself. But I always bought matcha as powders because it was the only way. The last batch I bought turned color after a few weeks.

Getting to know Cuzen Matcha gave me an aha! moment! Even though I am Japanese and appreciate traditions, this is a welcoming modern progress.
Now, just like coffee, I can grind matcha from leaves right before having a cup. A cup of straight matcha made with Premium Matcha Leaf was the best I have ever tasted.

I am still experimenting with the machine and their different tea leaves, and just ordered more tea packs. Thank you, Cuzen Matcha!

Fantastic machine!

I love my cuzen matcha machine. I am always groggy and rushing out the door in the morning - now I can have my matcha at nespresso speed! Machine was very easy to set up as well!

Super helpfull

As a person who is just starting to drink matcha, this company has been a great help, not only for the machine they have but also for the time to help me choose which matcha I should drink to start and which matcha would be the best according to my tastes. .
