Does anyone know the dimensions of the reservoir tank in the Brewtus? I'm wondering if the Brewtus could be retro-fitted with a rotary pump in the voice where the pourover tank would go and then plumbed in of course. Thoughts?

Singforsupper, The reservior area on the Brewtus measures: 8.25 in deep, 3.25 in wide, 11 in tall. This is the Brewtus II. Hope this helps, - Fred

That's mighty cool! I am not capable of doing that myself without detailed intructions. I can drill and such, but I cannot figure out how to mod the electrics and water connections. Is there a mod kit that they mention?

I believe that Todd Salzman at WLL was rumoured to be coming up with a kit to do this very conversion. I do not know how far this has progressed, maybe it would be worth giving him a call. Cheers Eric

Posted April 25, 2006 link If we get our new house and have enough to put in a kitchen, we will absolutely have a WNY espresso fest.
