Ahhh, Seatle! :)) Seattle Coffee Gear - one favorite site and videos to watch!!! BTW, Gail do not sell Expobar, also Chris Cofffee Service, Clive Coffe, 1st in Coffee too ... Only WWL among the biggest online stores sells Expobar. I impressed also that Todd favored "between the lines" Gaggia Classic vs Rancilio Silvia in a WWL video which also impressed the public together with his over extracted shot you mentioned. :))
Actually, I am from Bulgaria and really we use Cyrillic alphabet as Russians do. The alphabet is called "Cyrillic" in the honor of St. Cyril from Thessaloniki who had been Bulgarian. During these ancient times, this territory had been Bulgarian. Bulgaria is an ancient country founded on 681 A.C. My native town is Plovdiv which is among the 6 most ancient populated locations all over the world. :)) I love my Rancilio Silvia v4 (with reparable heating element of the boiler) but when I tasted a shot from Brewtus IV in a local store I decided that I must have such machine.I have had sweet spot shots very rare with Ms Silvia, but I never have had produced such aroma and mouth taste as I did with Expobar. It was funny, because I tasted the Brewtus IV in the store bringing with me my Mazzer Mini E grinder. Unfortunately, the price of Bulgarian store was 1560 EURO and that is why I decided to buy the machine online. That is why I am asking about the durability of the machine, because I cannot rely on labor service during the warranty, but only to the spare parts. Thank you for the suggested sites. Dan Kehn's HB is one of my favorite ones. Another one I had not known and I will browse it with huge interest. BTW, Please, advise, is it necessary to put some heavy peace of glass into the water tank in order to avoid the earlier shut off of the machine from micro switch which is sensitive to the weight of the water in the tank? It could be not convenient the machine to be switched off at half of the water tank. Regarding the different choices, I seriously consider 3 different machines as an option to buy: Alex Duetto III (2100 EURO), Rocket Cellini Evoluzione v2 (1600 EURO) and Rocket Cellini Premium Plus v3 PID (1300 EURO). Honestly said, I can not find serious argument for business case to neglect Expobar and pay more money. Only the exterior of the Italian brands has better finish. But my primary wish is to make as much as possible espresso! I had times when I thought that buying the Rocket EVO v2 (rotary pump plus water tank or mains by choice and Sirrai pressurestat) is the best option for me because of commercial pressurestat which is supposed to be more reliable than PID controller. BTW, are they frequent failures of the Brewtus PID being mounted at the center of the front near the boiler? Because Rocket's PID is mounted at the bottom where is the coldest place of the machine?
