What are you replacing it with, Craig? Nice of you to pass it along to the next enthusiast as well!
I have a mini-espresso-museum in the garage—an old boiler-only krups,(no pump, maybe 3-4 years of service), very early Saeco Rio Vapore vibe pump (later called Starbucks Estra I think?, about 10 years of service), Expobar Brewtus 2 (modded with PID and rotary pump after about 8 years, maybe 13-14 years total service?), and now using an ECM Synchronika (7 years service so far; just chased down a dead computer in it so nearly all new parts on that one—GTG for a while). Man, that adds up to a lot of shots! Still love the Brewtus user group the best!!! 😘 Cheers, b > On Apr 20, 2025, at 13:23, Joseph Helminiak <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I love my machine but modded it quite a bit. only things i hate, long warm up > time and noisy pump, well and the heating element changing once a while > -jjh > > > > Joseph (Joe) Helminiak > (314) 556-4488 > > > On Sun, Feb 9, 2025 at 11:10 AM Craig Stout <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> Hey Brewtus group - I am pulling the pin and getting rid of my ExpoBar IV >> machine.
