I saw his video recently and thought it was pretty cool.  Now........if I were to order all that lab equipment I would expect to see the DEA show up unannounced.  Just my luck!!
Besides, I have plenty of Pure Evil in the cabinet.

Wondering if you can use an espresso machine to do extraction. Soxhlet is ideal of course but, the principals are similar. perhaps...pressure, temperature, the machine doesn't care what fluid goes thru. even better a Turkish grind with an old fashioned Turkish coffee maker. heck pretend you are desalinating the espresso maker and run your favorite vinegar thru the super hot grinds.

My friend has one of these for his herb. He's always asking me about extracting cap for rubs and such, and I say......‍‍‍‍‍‍ Now I can have him watch this and HE can do it. I'll break his extractor. Lol

Thank you for this!
