I love my Brewtus. Meets all of your criteria, although I have not had
to do anything other than regular maintenance and, also, I'm not sure if
they are built in the suburbs :-)
I have a IV-R. I feed it water from an 11L bottle of RO water that only
needs refilling every few weeks. I've had the machine for 5+ years
without having to open the machine up for repairs.
Others here have much more experience than I do with these machines.

Hi Everyone,
I find myself in a similar quandry that I am sure that has plastered
these pages since day one. I need help/advice on buying a new
espresso machine!! I think I want a machine with the following;
1. Double boilers over heat exchanger
2. PID Control
3. Pre infusion
4. Suburb build
5. Value
6. Ease of maintenence
7. Makes damn good espresso
Over the years we have made and comsumed coffee in many different
ways. We had a super expresso machine that we used for five years or
so and finally died a slow death. We purchased a nespresso machine
with mixed results and abanded that approach. Decieded to go in a new
direction; purchased a Vario grinder, a Bonavista 1900 drip machine,
scales, pour over equipment, Chemex, etc. We started experimenting
with the equipment and ordering different coffees from around the
country. Currently we can make you a great cup of coffee, however we
are missing our espresso drinks. Granted with the super espress
machine that we were not getting a great espress, however we were
putting the beans in the machine and pushing a button and voila a cup
of coffee. I say coffee because we dosed up the water to get a full
cup, not understanding some of the more interesting chemical and
physical characteristcs of the coffee bean.
Now with a little knowledge I consider myself dangerous! I understand
extraction in more depth. I understand coffee roasting on a different
level. I understand some of the physics of how espresso machines work
and some of the relative chemistry of water and the effects on coffee.
I understand the theory of espresso a little bit. What I dont know
is what machine to purchase. I want something that once I start
making express and relatated milk drinks that I can progress and make
excellent drinks. I am of the compulsion that i dont want to wake up
and find that I have brand B and wish that I had brand A.
I would value any sort of advice or personal history of how you guys
ended up where you are. I will not list the machines I have
researched and what I think I want to buy in fear of coloring your
feedback, I do however realize what forum that I am seeking advice.
Looking forward to hearing from you, thanks in advance.
Mark
