Does anyone know about the recent upgrade to ECM and Profitec PIDs? The PID apparently has a fast (faster?) heat-up mode, like one used on the Profitec Go.

Can anyone confirm this as I have not been able to see any announcements by the manufacturer? Is the upgrade available...

I currently own a Flair 58, but I'd be interested in additionally acquiring a Cafelat Robot, as it looks like a fun thing to use.

I have never made cold brew coffee outside of work but at present work is having me help revamp their cold brew. I don't drink it and never bothered working up a good method for myself.
