You know, Michal... there's one big problem with starting out with such a nice setup: when your coffee sucks, and there's a good chance it will, you'll have no one to blame but yourself. Not that people with cheaper setups don't also have themselves to blame for their poor results, it's just way more obvious with a dual boiler and a conical.
On the other hand, getting your coffee to not suck will be a lot less challenging. Make sure you visit Counter Culture Coffee as soon as you can and beg for pointers; a few lessons from a pro--or for that matter, anyone who knows what they're doing--are invaluable.

. I think with the extended parts warranty to 2 years as part of the deal isn't bad and I'm getting a great deal. Also I lost my Silvia box so Todd agreed to let me ship her back in Brewtus' box. I really don't have too much experience (im 16) but after my dad laughed at me when I said espresso isn't supposed to be bitter but chocolaty (the roast im using now anyway) and I proved him wrong with Silvia I think I can pull a decent shot. My friend said I should work at *$ and I replied I wouldn't last a week because I'd tell the manager the coffee is c**p. Anyway I'll be sure to share my experiences, make a video, and probably a website for Brewtus owners/ prospective buyers.
