first of all, you guys are makeing me laff with the 8-track (Godbless the 4 track) deck and the crystal radio. you did skip by the 78's and 45's, tho! that should be todd's next project - to make a switchable 15 or 20 amp model that can run both boilers - like the Spaziale. there is/was an coffee shop in washington state with a lingerie clad (not porno) crew that sports a free webcam. its called Brewistas.com otherwise, i understand wash and ore sport female baristas that also perform sexual favors and are dressed scantily. -Dennis

Correct. Even though both lights are on sometimes, only one boiler fires at a time.

Hi Dennis

As far as I am aware the Brewtus does not run both boilers at the same time, steam boiler taking priority.

    John, those are good numbers.  it seems our US 110v 15 amp models
    really sacrifice the power.  IIRC the internal wiring , power
    switch, and power cord must be upgraded in size to even run both
    boilers at once, and that is with 900 watt elements . (re: Sean
    Lennon)     it is cool yours can be turned into such a
    powerhouse.  now you will have to worry about blowing the milk
    out of the cup!!  - Dennis

    Hi Guys

    Just thought I would give some feedback on the 220v 2000watt
    steam boiler upgrade I had done on my Brewtus IV-R a few months
    ago. Was a straight element swop out as all the wiring seems to
    be fine for the added current, was intere4sted to fdind out that
    all the OZ versions seems to come with 2000watt elements as
    standard, mine game with a 1200watt element, obviously EU spec
    or something like that.

    When I had the 1200watt element installed I always felt that I
    could do with a bit more steam power, pressure used to drop from
    1.4bar down as far as 0.5 bar when steaming the milk and whilst
    it worked I always felt a bit jealous, especially when I was
    loaned a GS3 whilst my machine was getting a service (an evil
    plan by my machine retailer). I had a single hole tip installed
    so I could get better results with my steamed milk, this
    resulted in very slow steaming and slowed the whole process down
    when making capuchino's.

    I would like to say that since I have had the 2000watt element
    installed the steam power has been awesome. I have changed my
    steam tip from a single hole to a 4-hole tip which steams a
    250ml milk jug to 65C in 18 seconds so the speed is MUCH better.
    single hole used to take around 45 seconds. Pressure is also
    greatly improved, I start steaming at 1.4bar and the poressure
    stays there unless the boiler has to fill at which point it will
    drop down to around 1.2 bar and then moves up to 1.4 bar again.
    I no longer lust after the GS3 (ok, perhaps still just a little
    bit :-) ) but am much happier with my steaming results and my
    latte art has improved a lot since the change.
