Troll, I have had mine ( B III Vibe) for 13 months. I pull about 30 cappas a week using either Spring Water which is about 20 ppm or Culligan ( 4 to 5 ppm). It runs on a heavy duty timer from 6 am to 7:30 and from 3:30pm to 10 pm monday to friday . On weekends it runs from 9 am to 10 pm.
This machine has been flawless and it runs like new. Built quality is very good and it is a joy to use. It is incredibly stable ( temperature) and the steam power and quality is very good as well. I come from a Rancilio Silvia and even tough it is an excellent machine, I will never go back. Keep in mind that this is a 3rd generation machine and design flaws, if any, have been addressed. Also, keep in mind that many users just join these forums when the problems arise.... On the other hand, the Andreja is also an excellent machine, however, it is a HX machine not a double boiler, therefore, even though Brewtus III is powerful enough, you could get a little more steam Power . However, you will have to deal with flushes to obtain stable shots. With the PID, the mighty Brewtus is hard to beat.
