I have a 2009 Brewtus 3, these are very good machines, if a little bit cheaply built and noisy compared to say, a Rocket.
That being said, they make very good coffee and the price you quoted is good as long as components have been replaced as needed and the machine is in good working order. You might want to budget some extra funds to get it inspected by a competent technician if you’re not into self-service. I have had mine for about a year and in that time what’s started to bother me most is that I don’t like the idea of drinking hot water that’s been running through teflon tubing. My next machine will be free entirely of teflon tubing. That being said, it’s not a concern everyone would have.
