I would not presume to tell you the “best” machine, but I will warn you that the Brewtus machines have spoiled you. That big 2 L. brew boiler and its PID lets you pull 4 or 5 shots in rapid succession without requiring a wait for the boiler to recover.
Unfortunately, after using all the Brewtus machines over a 14 year span, I decided to try a highly regarded new machine with several new bells and whistles the Brewtus lacked. ... it also included a .75 L brew boiler (“you don’t need to wait so long to bring it up to temp in the morning!!”). Bad move. I often needed to pull at least 3 or 4 shots quickly during the AM and with the .75 L boiler I can’t even flush and pull 2 in a row without affecting the taste or waiting an annoyingly long time between the shots. However, If you don’t need rapid succession pulls, you might not ever notice the weakness. I would also suggest you carefully check the current draw ... the Brewtus really can function in a 15 amp kitchen. The new super-duper machine needed a 20 amp circuit wired in. Resetting the circuit breaker gets old in a hurry. > On Mar 5, 2021, at 5:23recover PM, Richard <[email protected]> wrote: > > > What would you get if you had to replace a Brewtus? > I am looking at Crem ONE DUO-V or Crem ONE INFUSER or maybe Profitec Pro 600. > > The Crem machines are brand new at WLL and come for the parent company that > used to make Brewtus.
