As a follow up to my recent cactus juice post https://adam-s.ca/drink-cactus-juice-itll-quench-you/ I wanted to share my experience with vacuum filtration and it uses in the kitchen.
I recently purchased a vacuum filtration setup with a Büchner funnel and a vacuum pump for ~50$ in an effort to speed up some of my kitchen filtrations. I didn’t buy any filters and opted to use coffee filters instead as a cheap alternative. Initially this equipment was a success for most fruit juices (apple and peach) but cactus juice posed a significantly large problem. Due to its viscosity and polymer like nature it took a much longer time to filter but still proved effective.
