00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.000
A pill can finish and still be low grade
Our first attempt made 28.56% Starch Grade. Here is the improved starter workflow.

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:26.000
Start with a real, empty bottle
Chemist kit + first Cartel Handler supplies. Attach a 0 ml bottle to the Blender.

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Blend one Coffee Beans item
Put the handful of beans in INPUT, then Start. Our Shabby Blender made 52 ml.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:58.000
Scan the ingredients before processing
Starting coffee: 29.12 ml mush and 5.20 ml caffeine. Read the composition lines.

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:12.000
Pour 100 ml of supplied alcohol solution
Use the filled 100 ml cylinder. This takes the 52 ml coffee batch to 152 ml.

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:26.000
Add another 50 ml with the smaller cylinder
150 ml solution added in total. Do not confuse the bottle capacity with the amount poured.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:38.000
202 ml total, including 105 ml alcohol
The supplied solution is 70% alcohol. That is 3.61× our 29.12 ml mush amount.

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:50.000
Heat on LOW and watch the actual temperature
The caffeine recipe needs at least 80°C. Our Shabby plate has a separate 99°C target.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:02:06.000
Switch OFF: our observed endpoint was 92°C
About one minute from 26°C; waiting is cut. This timing is specific to our setup.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:18.000
After heating: 26.93 ml caffeine
Mush is gone; Plant Matter is present. Keep the plate OFF and let the batch cool.

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:30.000
Inspect the supplied in-game reagent
This 5 ml portion is 97.86% acid. Purity varied between our two research runs.

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:44.000
Add a measured 5 ml of Acidic Solution
This is cleanup for the cooled game mixture. The reagent reacts with protein.

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:58.000
Add 1 ml more: 6 ml total for this batch
Allow the reaction to settle. Check protein and debris rather than using a universal dose.

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:12.000
Install Kotton Fabric inside the Water Pitcher
Open the pitcher, fit the fabric in its filter slot, then close that small panel.

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:24.000
Pour the reacted mixture through Kotton
Drag the bottle onto the empty pitcher. Filtering removes the large particles in this run.

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:36.000
Filtered: 125.85 ml, caffeine still 26.93 ml
No protein, plant matter or debris listed. Some physical contaminant, fat and acid remain.

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:56.000
Load the filtered bottle into CONTAINER
We also attach an empty DISTILLATE bottle. Installed cell: 40/100 kJ; demand: 6/day.

00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:06.000
Sleep one night with this setup
We paid Power Service: 5 credits. The Evaporator processes the batch overnight.

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:18.000
Next morning: dry batch is 70.62% caffeine
38.13 ml remains, with no water or alcohol listed. The 0% heading refers to water.

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:30.000
Configure the Finisher for Caffeine Pill
Required volume: 5.00 ml. Cannot include wet ingredients. Select, then close the list.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:44.000
Load the dried bottle; click Output once
Ready produces one pill here. We used the starter Finisher without Chemical Modules.

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:58.000
Finished pill: 62.14% Street Standard
Scan the final product. The starter Finisher lowered purity from the dry batch’s 70.62%.
