„2) Innova represents the boiler as either a 225 cc brass unit -or- as a brass or aluminum thermoblock ? Again, can you confirm which is correct for the Arc ?“

„Well after reading the referred thread click here where cremedelacrema first brought up the idea of Aluminum leaching from the new FreshRoast Plus 8 roaster, that I wanted to do some research on the matter (That and because I drink a lot of Mountain Dew from Aluminum cans).“

CoffeeGeek - Capresso MT500 Coffee Brewer
„The MT500 is, as they claim, "the only coffee maker on the market with a stainless steel lined heating element, completely eliminating any contact with aluminum. It reduces the need to decalcify dramatically". I don't know about the claim "the only coffee maker", after all, plenty of full commercial machines have all steel boiler systems (even the consumer oriented Bunns do), but this is good news for you and me as someone who might use this brewer. I think it also helps with the previous point - the heat thing.“

„ I would not personally own a machine unless it had this list of features: A cast brass boiler instead of aluminum; a brass steam valve that was carefully machined to operate smoothly; a preponderance of brass and copper tubing instead of aluminum or plastic; at least 1,000 watts of heating power; and an exterior finish that reflects the same quality as the rest of the componentry. If I get a chance to demo a new unit I try to discern these things: how long it takes to come to operating temperature; if the water will remain reasonably hot during the length of the pour; how difficult is it to change to steam mode and how long does it take to produce useable steam pressure; and how long the machine takes to recover from steam mode back to brewing. Here’s the Most Important Question: * Do you like the coffee it makes? * How do you know?“
