Has anyone here made cold brew coffee with a vacuum funnel? Seems like it might be an interesting method.

Coffee and catching up on tickets from over night

No, but it sounds delicious

Just looked into vacuum brewing coffee... Definitely looks very interesting.
-
Just looked at the process.... and then went and drank a Mountain Dew..
It's an interesting process and pots appear to be from acceptable to completely out there in pricing. Of course depends on how elaborate they are. Regardless for me though - as I rather don't like coffee, It's of course not for me.

I stumbled across the idea while looking at Buchner vacuum filtering equipment (for another project). So if I made coffee also, that setup wouldn't be a unitasker. At the very least, I would be able to filter my own regular cold brew much faster. And quite a bit finer than the 150 micron screen I currently use.

Trying to get ready, such a busy day. New staff starting today, dealing with the fallout of someone quitting in a huff on Friday (wasn't even angry about work stuff, got pissed off about something in his personal life and rage quit out of pure anger about something else), running an interview at noon (in person) and seeing a hotel to potentially buy in an hour, and a house to potentially rent (or buy) in two. Damn.

Man, being on an international team is hard. Today daylight savings (summer time) ended in the Yucatan. But Nicaragua doesn't have summer time. And the US doesn't change for a few weeks. We go through like six different sets of time zone situations every year, It's insane.

Ha ha ha. This is probably where the phrase "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" originates.

Late night tests to get ready for the potential hurricane that might hit Belize.

Working on another PS convenience script; the POS systems in both pharmacies will ‘stop’ and they can’t process cards from time to time. You have to stop and start the services to reset.
When I got here, they were remoting to that computer and then stop/starting it,.. having used the command line tool in (remote tool I can’t think of now) I found I could do the same in Manageengine,.. and then via command line. So I wrote a simple batch file to do that task.
Now creating a menued powershell script for both sites.

You could helpfully label it "Fix Broken POS"

Lol, yea… issue for another time. Just one of the many systems it seems that someone else decided that IT should figure out after having gone to the conference and bought it.

Long day for us, we have a lot of servers in Belize where the storm took out the national power grid.

Yikes! Hope everybody down that way is alright!
