    I am trying to work out what the optimum balance of trace elements and essential minerals would be if added post production to pure distilled water, so as to satisfy the needs of both coffee machines and drinkers. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
  2. Sage Forum
    Hi folks. I've recently bought a used Duo Temp Pro and ordered some Sage branded water filters for it. On arrival, they look just like the cheap unbranded ones available on Amazon. Does anyone know if the Sage branded ones are ion exchange resin or just plain charcoal? I'd prefer not to pay £15...

    Was thinking about this last night even though not off until August. I always take my Aeropress on holiday as it is the easiest mobile brew method and tend to just pick up the local bottled water from a supermarket. As there is always a choice, but mainly local varieties to that country, I was...

    Good morning, Running a Fracino Contempo Dual Fuel with filter fed from water containers via Sureflow and Fracino high pressure pump. I have a routine for sterilising the containers and tubing using Puriclean and to date no adverse effect such as tainting water taste etc. But I've been wary...

    I'm looking for advice on water treatment - I know the subject has been done to death, but I also know that there must be several forum members who have very similar circumstances and I'm interested in what has worked well for you. I'm about to have a kitchen extension done and would like to...
  6. Gaggia Forum
    I've just won a Gaggia Evolution on ebay. I was really pleased, its the red version which should fit in perfectly with my kitchen and the machine has had very little use (a shot a week over 2/3 years) in a soft water area. However, the vendor has just contacted me to say that they tested it...

    Hi All, I'm looking for a sanity-check from forum folks, and any insights from existing users (or those knowledgeable in) water softeners and filters... I live in a hard water area (Shropshire) and experience high levels of scale in a kettle after just a couple of weeks use. I filter drinking...

    In what I now think was a moment of madness, I decided to decalcify my Sage coffee machine using a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water (we live in a hard water area) I followed the manual instructions and even tried a coffee when I finished to just to make sure it didn't taste weird, but...

    This one I have generally used following comments and advice on the forum, currently we are away from base. ASHBECK. This is option one. And option two. If I was only to consider based on Calcium it would be an easy choice, but it's how the other constituents play a part. Jon.

    Who here makes their own water by adding some minerals to distilled or RO water? It does effect taste in a quite significant way - at least when doing brew coffee. I have been using Third Wave Water lately and sometimes it gives good results, sometimes it's too acidic. I think this is probably...

    At work on an offshore rig I got two water options. From tap, which is produced on the rig, and bottled water. The tap water is no good, so I'm using bottled water. I'm not too happy with the water quality though. Brews made with the same beans I use at home tends to be more acidic and overall...

    Recently finding my store now has 'Lockhills' in the 4 bottle pack about £1.50. No Stretton Hills, is it same for everyone else? or my store just not separating them and putting them both out! Checked them all but all Lockhill. Have taken a pick of label to compare and the numbers are...

    Ok, so I recently joined the forums looking to improve my coffee. I predominantly drink filter coffee using a Melitta Therm Look IV using pre-ground coffee (I know, I know, I'm a beginner, what can I say!). Realising my best option to improve the flavour without splashing out on a new Brazen...

    I live in Bristol with its hard water. My Delonghi has lasted 15 years with only an occasional descale! I switched to Volvic this week and that has made a bigger difference to taste than almost anything else. Anyway, I've promised myself a new machine for 2018 and I can't keep using tap...

    I live in a soft water area and have never really thought of using bottled water for coffee making, would changing to bottled have much of a taste advantage as I do not really notice much difference when drinking my own tap water compared to bottled. I am currently drinking mainly brewed coffee...

    I've got a Quick Mill Silvano. I've been running it for over 3 years now using London tap water from our fridge supply. It's gone through a carbon filter but nothing more. The machine is still working fine (I've had to dip the frother tip in vinegar a few times ) but I know I"m really on...

    Hi all, Im using my aeropress and v60 to make coffee these days, and I am at the moment just using a Brita water filter to make the coffee, I was just wondering whether it's better to use bottled water instead, if so which brand? Would this noticeably change the taste? Thanks! Rory
