Yeah, that sounds like a good way to go. I’ve moved to using a spare french press to remove the better part of the vegetative matter, before lining a mesh strainer with coffee filters to catch the rest. It has helped speed things up a bit for me.

I have a restaurant supply store not far away from my place that I lean on periodically for stuff like that. They definitely have some wonky pricing for some products but they can be more affordable / quicker than online on other things. I honestly have no idea how he costs products because of how wild his margins are on some things. Lots of restaurants I’ve worked at just bite the bullet and grab shit from him just because there’s usually no time to wait so maybe that’s just him building in convenience pricing

hell yeah, i used to rock these all day long in a coffeeshop i worked in, they’re the shit.
and i can see how you’d get such a good drain, the filter paper grade is part of it but it’s also due to the design of the cone, those ridges going all the way up to the top of the cone keep a nice gap between the filter and the cone so movement is allowed through the entire surface of the filter–not just the bottom like a lot of cones (spiral shape helps too). in that way they managed to reinvent the wheel on pourovers, always been kind of impressed by that.
anyway, if you’re gonna duplicate the method definitely buy the V60.
ps working in ‘3rd wave’ coffee and particularly espresso is a damn good foundation for working in this industry. extraction, baby

I have micron screen drop in’s for 3-5gal buckets…they work great until u get to about 75micron. The screens are spread out arcoss the whole entire bucket top for more surface area less clogging(according to what ur straining!)
They make all kinds microns and u can stack em if u want just makes for faster clogging though. I use to stack em.now.i pour through one then the other to the end
I’m working w thin Mudd though

thank you
For small timers this work much better than that huge blue tote they send that’s usually broke. But this is more for 100-200lbs of dry ice pellets

Two injector ports and an operator that might mistake one for the other?
You can turn a silicone pipette bulb into a high-temp injector cozy…

If you can’t get falcones with fritted filters for mechanical separation of isolate you can DYI. All you need is 6 falcones, a saw, heat gun and some filtration fabric.
First you cut all six of them in halve:
Then using heat gun you soften them so the top part fits inside the bottom. Put a filtration fabric between. I use 100um nylon.
Remove excess fabric.
Make sure everything fits well.
It doesn’t. Motherfuckers will not fit. Throw everything in to a garbage bin. Order 50um rosin bags on amazon.
Use the screwtop to hold the bag in place.
You are good to go.

Yeah, well the whole IBM Watson underdelivered on all fronts what shouldn’t be a supprise considering how often tech companies inflate abilities of their products. The marketing message is more targeted at shareholders than actual customers.
AI has the limitation of the dataset of REPORTED reactions, so you’re always blind to new discoveries and hindered by inaccurate reporting (or intentionally inaccurate reporting that sometimes gets done to protect one’s research exclusivity in supporting information).
