Important thing you forgot to mention Livui is the voltage difference between the US and 80% of the rest of the world.
Ohms Law states Power = Volts x Amps Problem is that the US is 120V, luckily for us, most of the rest of the world is 220/240V 15Amps is about the most you want to carry over household wiring otherwise it gets too thick hence the limit to 15A in the US for most household plugs 120V x 15A = 1800W max power, hence the 1200W elements in the Brewtus in the US In most of the world however, this is not a problem due to the higher voltage 220v x 15A = 3300W max power, that is why the Australian machines can have a 2000W element without any issues (as long as they don't run steam & brew group elements at the same time) JohnB On Wed, Feb 10, 2016 at 5:52 PM, Liviu Fratila <[email protected]> wrote: > Expobar official position: > > *I will try to explain it.
