In my experience the brew boiler does heat up a bit, possibly via the
heat exchanger in the steam boiler, and reaches an equilibrium somewhere
around 30-40.

I'll stand corrected, but I believe if the over temp switch trips (the
red dot thingy), all power is cut to the boiler. In other words, it
wouldn't heat even halfway.
Thoughts?

I don't think there's much you can do without at least removing the
top and peering in. If they're OK with taking the top off (and I
assume they are to refill the reservoir, unless you've plumbed it in)
they can try resetting the safety thingy which sometimes trips for no
apparent reason. It's a small circular thing on the brew boiler (the
one nearest the front) with two wires on either side and a red dot in
the middle. Have them gently push in the red dot with something like
the head of a small nail. If that doesn't work, it'll be up to
someone who's comfortable getting in there with a multimeter.

Hi, I have a Brewtus II, and it seems now that the temperature is
only rising to somewhere in the 40's, instead of the full 93 (or
whatever temp setting I have at the time). So it seems it's heating
up some, but then stops. Any ideas on what the problem could be and
whether there is some simple remedy? I'm unfortunately in Germany,
and this is what our friends who are house sitting are seeing, so
they won't be able to service the internals of the machine.
