Expobar office leva 2

[fatboy_1999]

Well I have a Minore II which is also known as the Brewtus II. I have not heard it referred to as a Leva2 before, but it is definately a dual boiler, cool touch wand without PID.
Minore III added a PID and a different power switch I believe and Minore IV might have changed the type of PID in use (a colour of the LED's from red to blue).
I did use a Minore III a while back and thought that it had better steam power and recovery than my model.

I have had my Minore II since 2006 (purchased from Talk Coffee) and have had a couple of issues over the journey, but nothing particularly serious. Control board failing was probably the worst of it, but was fixed for ~$100 a few years back.

Had it in for a service a while back (seals, o-rings and NOT A DESCALE) and it came back feeling like it was new again. I have a Brita C150 water filtration kit, so the machine is pretty good from a scale perspective.

So personally, very happy with my Minore II and have been producing great coffee on it (so modest) for 7 years now.

PS - The machine in the PDF looks like what we in AU refer to as the Minore III.

I think it depends what country you are in as to the names.
I was always under the impression that in Australia, the Office Leva was a single boiler HX machine and the Minore was the dual boiler version.
The Minore is up to version IV here and has a PID.

However, in other countries, the Minore is/was called Brewtus and looking at the page of the manufacturer (creminternational) it seems that they simply call them:
OFFICE LEVA EB-61 1 GR
OFFICE LEVA EB-61 1 GR 2 BOILERS

There is about a $500 difference between the single and dual boiler versions, so perhaps that can give you an indication.

Office Leva 2

Sometimes it's so confusing. Apparently in this link > http://www.bellabarista.co.uk/pdf/Ex...feeMachine.pdf the leva2 aka brewtus 2 have some major issues and the brewtus 3 is a big improvement. But what is confusing is that page 7 of 18 the pic of the code is office leva 2 but the review is about brewtus 3.

Funny this is the pic that the seller showed me shows the code says it's office leva 2 but the pic of the PID is not the same as the article of brewtus 3

The Office Leva is a single boiler machine with no PID ( 2nd link on provided google page).

The Office Leva 2 is a dual boiler PID machine ( 1st and 7th link ).

The first link implies naming variations.

Thanks Chokkidog. What would be a good price for a 5 year old with 7/10 condition ? $1000? Or if the price difference is like 200aud would you go for a minore 3?

The Machine looks like this link > Expobar Brewtus II - Coffeetime

This is the closest I can find but I can't find any information stating that office leva2 is brewtus or minore

Hey kaftan. You didn't look at any of the links..............

When someone takes the time and makes an effort to look for the info you are asking for the least you could do is check it out.

The first link on the page provided is to a very detailed review.

Hi Chokkidog,yes i did look at the link but it just shows the results of google "Office Leva2"

Trust me I did search the link and click as many URL as possible but it still doesn't give me any information stating that Office leva 2 is AKA Minore 2 or AKA brewtus 2. But on Youtube the machine looks the same. But when I search for "Office leva" it shows a machine without the temp gauge on the left. But the code that the seller showed me states it's (Office leva 2) and he said it's aka minore 2.

Thanks

You don't say what it is you're after, specifically, but.........

Some links are here on this page:

I mean like any information about the machine. i.e. PID? Boiler size? Cool wand?

Hi CS,

Just need your expertise I can't seem to find any information about Expobar office leva 2. Is it also known as Expobar Minore 2? Is it also known as Expobar Brewtus 2? Does it have PID? Coz I was told that it is not a PID.

Thanks
