Any updates on the brewing process?

@HarkinBanks - great update, and it sounds like you have worked through most of the issues - awesome. So - help me understand the differences between this generation and the previous?

I certainly don't think they are going under and I don't think that it is indicative of a failing company, but I absolutely believe that they lost many more pre-orders than they thought they would, and I would be highly disappointed if I were an investor. I was a pre-order Z2 but ended up...

That heater element looks like a fire waiting to happen :( Good thing the epoxy failed and the connection melted before anything more serious went down...

So much for the improved communication. They were good for an update at least :(

Interesting that this hasn't had any activity for a week. Has there been an update? Are there any real world feedback stories from the Z1 units that shipped?

in!

I guess I'm glad I didn't buy one... I am really hoping for a more refined tool. It's beautiful, but seems like it's still baking. :(

@HarkinBanks I confirmed with Brewie that it is a 1k discount and not a 1k price. They have a page on their site that says 1k, but I believe they are missing the word "off." So yeah, 1499 isn't enough to get me on the buying side of this yet, I don't think... The hunt continues, I guess.

Yeah, I read your ordeal and it's the reason I steered clear of the Brewie originally. I have a grainfather that I use, but I was hoping to end up with an automated system that allows me to run a brew from the comfort of my phone

So, I've read this a bit, and I just cancelled my Picobrew Z2 pre order.... Help me want a Brewie+. Are the bugs from the B20 worked out? What are the issues that people are experiencing with the Brewie+?

When I placed this order I thought I would retire the grain father and move fully into the automation of the z2. I looked hard at the brewie but I wasn’t convinced they were ready for prime time. I’m still seeing a few issues in their thread but I assume there will be issues with the z2 as well...

To whom did you send your cancellation notification/request?

Tremendous giveaway - thanks in advance :D

I'm starting to consider going another route - like I've stated before, I'm looking for a pretty advanced system, but I don't want to be a guinea pig. Some things I'm concerned about: MUST BE connected to Picobrew to brew. If it's like the Zymatic, I'm a little concerned here. I don't see the...
