Thanks John.

When I used to cone filter, my coffee urn would keep the syrup between 180 and 185. I fill it with water and let it run the brew cycle and then dump the water out right before I start filling with syrup.

I am 6'5" so the pump looks like it is high but should be ok for my height. I'll know after Saturday if I need to lower it.

Thanks for the tips, much appreciated.
