Expobar Brewtus IV Rotary
I've had this machine about 6 weeks now and am thrilled. It was shipped with a bad pump microswitch, which was a real buzzkill at first (yay -- a several-kilobuck, 70-lb, heated paperweight). But Todd @ WLL fixed me up pretty quickly with a new one, and swapping out was trivial once I got over the e...
