    Hi all. I know this has been a regularly discussed topic on this forum in the past but I'm interested in bringing it up to date and seeing what bottled water everyone currently recommends in the UK. I'm using Waitrose Lockhills (composition below) but know it's on the harder side of ideal. And...

    Hey all, If anyone can help me then that would be really appreciated. I’ve had my rocket for over a year now and I’ve absolutely loved it. However, I’ve always noticed that there was something off with it. I decided to get a pressure gauge to check the pressure bars and I noticed it was at 12...

    Hi All, I’m selling my Osmio Zero which i've had from new. Im selling as I have changed to an under-the-kitchen water filter system so there is no need for my Osmio Zero anymore. These filters have been used for roughly 4 weeks and the machine has not been used for roughly 6months now. I’m...

    Hi All. Since getting the Osmio, i've been dosing with Bar-carbonate of Soda using the handle tip of a very narrow tea spoon to add just a pinch to 1 litre of water, but since reading a comment by @DavecUKat the weekend where he stated that he aims for a reading of between 70 -90 on his TDS...

    Hi All, Had a MaraX now for nearly a month now and noticed small 'green' spots on the e61 mushroom and on the threads. Also, the hot water tap has slight corrosion and I'm not sure but is discolouration on the shower dispersion screw normal ? Pictures attached hopefully. It's not good enough...

    Hello forum! This is my first time posting after reading for a little while. I am opening a new cafe/bakery in London in the next month or two, and have just received a great secondhand La Spaziale S5 compact with 2 group heads. While I'm not entirely certain how the previous owner treated...

    Hi all. Just gearing up to use my new (to me ) Gaggia Classic. I've brought some Asda still and Asda Smart Price water. Looking at the labels, they seem high in carbonates and dry extracts. the tables recommend a mixing ratio of 3:1 mix between Asda Still and Asda smart price. can the water...

    https://www.phoxwater.com/ Anyone heard anything about this as a water solution for coffee/espresso? On first look: Is it green? I'd love to reduce my plastic waste. Reusing the cartridge housing seems like a good idea, but it's probably ~30% the mass of the cartridge as a whole. Recycling a...

    Interested to know peoples water mixes/recipes both for machines and filter/immersion. I'm about to purchase an Osmio Zero and I also have a Peak on its way (LOLZ) so particularly interested in what people do with RO water (if anything) to get it to a place they like. I know some people like...

    I have seen we discussed water boilers on various topics, but I think is best to have all that information in one place. If there was a previous topic about this (which would mean that my search skills are rubbish) my apologies. As I'm planning to serve a lot of teas in my future tearoom, I...

    I had been interested in an alexia evo but on checking the manual the company do not encourage or give instructions for descaling and I suspect it would invalidate the warranty They suggest using softened water and you shouldn't need to descale. what do others do? do you use volvic or...

    Hi all, I am looking to use tap water here in Dublin, Ireland to brew with. I have some questions about my water filter and water parameters here in Dublin which I have been told is soft water. I currently have a HMA filter set up with which I use to filter my tap water for drinking. It has 3...

    Espresso & boiler friendly water: Not all water that meets non-scaling parameters makes coffee that tastes nice. The shorthand answer is to find water with a bicarbonate level between 50-80mg/L as ion/bottled water label (as CaCO3 alkalinity this would be 40-60mg/L) for your espresso machine...

    Only recently, after a few misadventures with an Aqua Optima filter, have I realised the need to fill my Fracino Cherub with bottled water. Most of the talk on the forum seems to be about Volvic or Tesco Ashbeck (which I can't find here in Wales - just a locally-branded Tesco own brand...
