The Curtis

I got the Curtis Milano Twin Brewer the other day from Red Rock Coffee. It's a freebie. Well, not exactly considering I need to spend money to fix it. It's a $3000 piece of equipment so that's not too bad. At first glance, it could cost $550 to get in functional again. I took it apart partially today and found one of the heating elements had burst which would be the cause of the blown fuses that John Dustman told me about. Four Barrel had estimated a $500 to $1000 repair. It would be a real coup if I could fix it for $50. Things are never that simple though but I'll know more tomorrow when I take it down completely. The brew servers are $250 to $300 a piece new. They can occasionally be found on ebay for around $120 a piece. If I get it working I may invest in some new ones as they old look really awful.
