I'm thinking of giving my old well used Silvia to my daughter (she'll be very happy) to justify... purchasing a new Expobar Brewtus III or Office Control machine, all this to make about two double espressos a day.

My questions:

I never make Cappuccino. Any advantage in having the Brewtus III over the Office Control machine?

If I get the Brewtus, what are advantages/disadvantages in having Rotary vs Vibration pumps?

Does a Watts Premier Home Reverse Osmosis system (it has a water reserve tank) have enough pressure to feed a Rotary pump?

Are there better choices in this price range?

Thanks.

PS - I've also asked this question on the Coffee Geek Forum (link).

Yeah what he said.

As soon as I read the part about nothing but straight shots the first machine I thought of was the Alexia. I would not sweat the PID too much to start with if budget is a concern. I assume budget is not a concern if you are considering a B3 but the Office Control part made me throw in the caveat.

The Quickmill Alexia is about the same price as the Expobar Office Control.

Is it better?
