Hi Herman! Yes, I can’t break the Brewtus habit. Mine has been lying in state in the kitchen for a month or so. :)
I bought the ECM Synchronika from Todd at WLL, and it is a very nice upgrade. Quiet, loads of steam, easy to open should I ever need to work on it (ha!), and some small details that are really well thought out. It really feels like it was designed from the ground up, as opposed to jamming a second boiler in there and trying to make pipes and wires fit. So far so good. I also added the BWT water treatment system from WLL (premium model with flowmeter as an add-on) and so far I’m liking it. It supposedly eliminates the need for descaling, and also adds back a bit of mineral to give an optimal water profile for espresso. Seems reasonable to me, and the price is right. Best to you and all and talk soon. Did you also replace your Brewt? b > On Mar 16, 2017, at 16:37, herman dickens <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey Ben.
