New to Button-Pistons?

No problem! We know many of you are familiar with a cartridge-converter option, but a button piston can be a handy way to ink your favorite Estie. With our handy step-by-step guide, you'll be filling your pen in no time!

Quick Features

How Does a Button Piston Work?

The Button Fill Estie is a unique version of our popular Estie fountain pen, designed with a built-in filling system that holds more ink than your typical cartridge or converter. This system allows you to store ink directly inside the pen, so you can write longer without needing to refill as often.

How does it work?
It's simple! Just follow these steps:

  1. Unscrew the back end of the pen barrel.
  2. Submerge the nib in your ink bottle.
  3. Press the button a few times to pump and fill the pen with ink.

And that's it! The Button Fill system not only makes the pen easy to use but also allows for a larger ink capacity, ensuring you're always ready to write.

With its innovative design and larger ink reservoir, the Button Fill Estie is perfect for those who love a smooth, uninterrupted writing experience.

Cushion Closure Inner Cap

The cushion closure inner cap keeps the ink wet and ensures your pen is ready to write anytime, reducing dry-out and promoting smooth ink flow.

High-Quality Materials

Each pen is crafted with premium materials, ensuring long-lasting performance and a luxurious feel.

Interchangeable Nib System

The interchangeable nib system allows for easy customization, enabling users to switch between different nib sizes and types with ease.

What Refills does my Esterbrook take?

Fountain pens use a standard international cartridge or converter. For ballpoints and rollerballs, please use a Schmidt-style refill

The Nib

The Esterbrook Estie features a German-manufactured nib by Jowo, known for its reliability and smooth performance. Each nib is carefully inspected by hand and marked with our logo and size indication for easy identification.
One of the great features of the Estie is its interchangeable nib system. The nib is threaded, which means you can easily switch it out for a different size point. You might use an extra fine nib for detailed writing one day and a broad nib for bolder strokes the next. This flexibility makes it a great choice for both new and experienced fountain pen users.
For those with more experience, we also offer custom grinds for a unique writing experience. Learn more about our nib options in the complete nib guide.
