Coffee Lounge ☮❤Wanted to know if there is a kit people recommend on here for checking the condition/hardness of my tap water. I'm currently running it through a brita filter jug before it goes into the classic so would like to check it then also to see if the jug is doing much.

Brewed Coffee ☕Water cools from boiling, we all know this - but just how quickly? It's a question that puzzled me, and I could find no quick answer on my google searches that met my needs - so what better than to go back into a science lab and do some real-life experiments! Well, a kitchen. And a set of...

Coffee Lounge ☮❤Hello all I live in South Bucks, a really hard water water (kettles get wrecked within a year or so if you don't descale). So when I bought a new Gaggia Classic in December I decided to run the machine off bottled water from soft water areas to protect it. So far I've been using Highland...

Gaggia ForumI have the Gaggia Carezza Deluxe. I used it almost every day and it has been great until recently when I didn't use it for a week or so. Now when I put in fresh water it comes out tasing bad and smells really bad. So far I have tried using descaling solution as per instructions. Also I tried...

Brewed Coffee ☕Note from risky: This thread is for discussion of making water for coffee. It's a bit 'sciency'. If you'd rather just mix bottled water you can find on the shelves of your local supermarket, please join this discussion. Volvic is terrible*. Just saying *Literally cant use this for filter...

New Members SectionHi, In a rush of blood to the head, I bought a Rancilio Midi CD off a cafe that had bought a new machine, it is quite old (1999) but it seems in grand shape. I have turned it on and starts fine so that's a start. I am a keen domestic coffee practitioner and saw the opportunity to get a...

Coffee Lounge ☮❤Alejandro already posted this on the other thread, but I think it may get buried there as it is already 7 pages. I just watched the latest Tamper Tantrum from Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood (people who follow the UKBC will know he is the 2014 champ, and his routine was based on water). It's...

Brewed Coffee ☕At work I have a French press pot and I use water from an urn. The water I think is plumbed in to the urn and I don't think there is a filter in place (water comes straight in from the mains) Would this make a difference in coffee taste? The coffee I'm using is HB's Costa Rica Finca La Casa...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹHi all, I am new to the forum and looking to move from a bean to cup to a 'proper' machine. I live in a very hard water area and am concerned about limescale. Is it easy to fully descale a twin boiler machine, or an HX on for that matter? Do I need to use bottled water, which would be a real...
