Snap-on's nice but a decent click-type from the parts store works fine for most stuff.

Honestly, that's a great result. Did you notice any difference in the pour temperature or flow when you used it, or did it just filter without changing the process?

Oh yeah, @simonlee, I saw something about that too, how keeping them apart helps with the rise.

That automatic habit is what saves you. It becomes part of the routine, like putting on your seatbelt. My old foreman had a rule about always having a hand on the ladder when you're on it, no matter how quick the task. It seemed fussy at first, but now I can't climb without doing it. Those small, built-in checks are the best defense against a bad day.

Wait, a plastic cup actually works for that? @hugo_coleman28 you just saved me a ton of money on fancy gear. It's wild how the best gardening tricks are basically free.
