hello, one sales point or feature i like about the brewtus is the footprint. in my particular setup, to access the water supply and drain i'm setup between two appliances, on a table 25" wide in a 30" wide space. i have a chair to sit upon too. a lot of other double boiler machines are considerably wider and wouldn't be able to accomodate my versalab grinder next to the machine. when i bought my B1 i had none of this in mind, but am really glad i had the size working for me - you can't beat plumbin in and out. never wash a reservoir or supply hose again. - Dennis

I've had mine since 2006. Since the purchase of my machine, I've always wanted my machine plumbed in and driven by a rotary pump. After the hassle of having to replace the original brew controller last year, I've been planning the upgrade to a PID controller. So last winter, I replaced the vib motor with the rotary motor kit from WWL, and plumbed in the machine to my water supply. This past weekend I replaced the original AKO brew controller with the GICAR PID controller. In both cases, the installations took about an hour and were pretty straightforward. >From a drink quality standpoint, I really can't tell a difference, but, I really do enjoy the quite rotary motor. No more rattling drip tray, no more running out of water. And I'm hoping that by replacing the brew controller, I've eliminated E1 failures due to a shorted temperature sensor. Point of the post is that regardless of the configuration you own, you do have options to upgrade or update. Remember, Brewtus's never die they just brew away.
