This is the interior of an Expobar Brewtus. The Brewtus is a double boiler espresso machine. The rear boiler - on the left - is steam and the front boiler is for coffee. The steam boiler is controlled by pressure stat and the front boiler is thermostatically controlled with LED control. As with past Expobar units, this had a few components that are less reliable than most other makes. The Ceme brand vibe pump seems to have a poor record - replace them pretty often. The pressure stat on this unit was bad and it is a cheaper part than other makes. This machine had virtually no scale - so the part died prematurely. This unit also had a worn E61 gasket housing that prevented backflushing and pressure release after shot making. The maker leaves the plastic laser tape lining the stainless inside of the box - why? It had burnt/curled in areas and was loosening in others - funky.
