Hi Todd, 1) Thanks for many clips on youtube, they are of GREAT HELP. 2) Are there any problems with rotary and external tank? Specifically for Brewtus IV with rotary? Some authors mention cavitation, and some claim that if you use external tank with rotary, you can't preinfuse. 3) Last week

Have also owned both and am with Craig on this one. Rotary is like an aircon in your car, if you have never had one you will probably be happy with the vibe pump, once you have owned one however you would never want to go back :-) JohnB On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 10:33 PM, CRAIG STOUT

This might help :D Rotary vs Vibe Noise? Why bother! Start resolving your grinder's noise first. Your option would be grinding at store, purchase ground coffee, place your grinder at the basement or go zassenhaus. When you're ready, then go Rotary! And don't even think about getting

Hi Tony, Being a fairly new owner, about 2 months, of the Brewtus IV-R, I am confident in telling you that is the way to go. I went thru the same issues and comparisons you are now. As someone said earlier, your already spending a ton of money - don't spoil it with a cheap ratchety sounding

Hi Tony, Bought a B2 about 2006, and have had it on a timer with daily use since then. I have replaced a few parts, nothing major or unexpected. I upgraded the machine to rotary and PID about a year ago (WLL kits), and the difference in noise is significant. I would estimate half as loud with

I have brewed many shots on both the Rotary and the Vibration pump machines. Both do make a great shot.   If you want to hook up a water line then the rotary is nice because it is very quiet and the pumps and  motors seem to last forever.   Our service times are down to about a week and we have

Thank you Kitt for your prompt and thorough reply. So if I am reading it rightit is worth it in the long run to go up to the rotary pump vs. the vibratory? From the entry level Brewtus IV to the Brewtus-R it is $250 extra. From the Brewtus-P to the Brewtus-R it is only $150. But the Brewtus
