My advice would be not to bother. Yes, it would be nice to have a 3 digit readout.
But, when PIDs first became available for the Brewtus II, some people did a conversion and added a PID instead of the non-pid temperature controller that came with the Brewtus. They reported that they were happy with the change, but that it did not really make any difference in the quality of the espresso shots that they pulled. It sounds like you would do more to get better espresso shots by finding a quality, artisinal, roaster who could ship beans to you. You can buy the beans in large quantity and freeze them. Freezing in small freezer jars and then defrosting before opening the jar seems to do a good job of preserving freshness in quality beans. Here are results of taste testing of frozen beans: http://www.home-barista.com/store-coffee-in-freezer.html http://www.home-barista.com/tips/freezing-espresso-coffee-part-two-t10301.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
