I know what it is, as do you, but other people here might not.

For those who are Drizzle disabled, it is a startup project making a machine that does 'natural extractions' of stuff like thyme, rosemary etc.

It's really quite a good machine.

Edit:

I do not possess one of these machines, so i am speculating.

In a brief conversation with one of their team they appeared competent.

Hi Aga.

Yes, I totally jumped the gun there :)

It is a continuation of a thread from summer - but I can see that is by no means obvious.

Aga said what needed to be said - thank you.

Sincerely
Bandil

Except that the previous iteration of this thread was explicitly cannibas related.

@ bandil64
Are you seeking discussion on this or is this merely advertising?

So, I'm going to say it's a soxhlet extractor, probably paired with either a Peltier junction or something similar for heating/cooling, and a vacuum pump to manipulate boiling point. Divert the distillate back to the solvent holding tank on the last cycle to dry down the product oil.

Clever actually. But you'll never sell one to this crowd unless it's vastly cheaper than I think it is. If nothing else, we like to watch the bubble-gurgle process. :-)

Price Will be around USD 599 not much off from a decent coffee maker. I dont think thats a show stopper?

I would consider paying $200-300 tops for something like that. But I paid $40 for my sohxlet extractor so it would have to be pretty fancy... and transparent. I like watching bubbles and percolations.:cool:
