This posting suggests to me a needed improvment for next-generation CS machines: built-in ultrasonic cleaning of the electrodes, container, and stirring apparatus. (Trem, take note!) If the ultrasonic freqs. could also serve to replace the stirring aparatus, that would be good, but as BB seems to suggest below, using ultrasonic freqs. during generation could, in layman's terms, end up putting a lot of unwanted crud into your brew.
Seems ultrasonic cleaning at the end -- esp. if automatic -- would be a good step forward for convenience and purity.
