I think that the main thing limiting the size of the element is the current that the Brewtus can draw from the 110v plug.
>From what I understand most 110V plugs are limited to 15A - 15A x 110V = 1650W max If you can get your plug upgraded (speak to your electrician, will probably need to change some wiring), I think you could get away with a 200W element, perhaps an idea to check how much amperage it is drawing with the existing element and you can work out the overhead from the pump etc. Would also suggest putting your grinder on a seperate circuit if it is going to be close. BTW . I upgraded my element to a 2000W one on my 220V machine and it is a beast with the steam after I did the upgrade, definitely a worthwhile upgrade.
