Went out of my way to purchase a couple of buchner funnels, and a vacuum pump and flask. The Buchner funnels being reusable glassware with 15-20micron filters, and being able to add vacuum to speed up a cwe is fucking awesome. 5 minute job!
I'll clean my glassware and show you guys a CWE tomorrow if I can.
For those who can purchase glassware such as a buchner funnel, a vacuum source, and the appropriate flask and mating, they sure seem to get the job done quickly and I would daresay a sintered glass filter (15-20 micron) would be a touch better than coffee filters.
Of course, this means an $$, coffee filters are cheap and do the job, have done for me for a long time!
