Lots of good perspectives here today. I tend to side with the "it's fine" crowd, when I got over the surprise, especially because I plan to mostly brew smaller, 3-4g batches but want the option of a 5g. I want to brew more variety to perfect my recipes so maybe this will just push me to doing more double brew days.
I liked my zymatic and wanted a more reliable version, so I'm hoping the Z2 meets that bar. They have clearly come a long way in design since the early zymatic days with all of their new machines. I had lots of small problems but agree support was always excellent and I never had some of the crazy issues I've read about with Brewie+ that scared me off.
As far as cleaning on "double" z2 batches, I wonder if there might be a solution with a 10g keg and some simple tubing. You were always going to have to clean both step filters, so I am confused by anyone who is surprised by that.
