It's neat...I wish the video had more of a "how-to" feel, because i don't really grasp what it was getting at in regard to how it controls steep time and things, but I saw some Watlow PIDs...

Interesting to say the least.

Four different brewing methods simultaneously in the same machine, and it is not limited to coffee and tea?

Impressive.

No talk of price however.

That is a cool design. There is one problem with how you steep tea in it though. A lot of the aroma and taste characteristics, as well as active medicinal constituents in a lot of teas diminish if it the tea not covered while steeping. With that said, I am sure you could come up with a simple lid for the brew chambers to remedy that problem.
