Braided hose to water filter faucet

I haven't been clear on a faucet yet. I've spent time looking online at RO faucets, but like you say, they are all geared with quick connects and offer no other connection solutions. I wouldn't buy an RO faucet until there's a solution to make the connections. I started a search string today, "cold water sink faucet" and am

80mm or 83mm flat burrs?

As far as cutting area of 83 mm being less than 80mm I'd wager that the pre breaker area has less to do with flavour than the outer cutting surface. I think measuring area and saying one will taste better is like saying a 0.2 % higher extraction always tastes better

Fellow Aiden anyone?

I wouldn't characterize it as un-inspiring - for example, the Technivorm Moccamaster Cup-One is pretty well regarded, albeit limited to 300ml/10oz, and appears at first glance to use a similar shower setup, albeit with a #1 trapezoidal cone instead of a #2, and without the bloom and pulse and temperature settings of the Aiden. As for overflow, Melitta rates

User Experience with the Strietman CT2

Ah, yes, I understand now what you are suggesting, that makes sense! I've seen this photo but still leaves me curious how many of those 37cm are made up by the control box at the rear. Watching this video it's pretty clear that if I can't get the fulcrum point of the lever ahead of the cabinets it may be

User Experience with the Strietman CT2

Your welcome Jason I have an ES3 an older wall mounted model but here is a photo previously posted on HB if that helps. The pad idea is basically turning the rear bottom lip into a sled when you tip the unit up from the front 1/2inch. {image} {video}

Mazzer Philos Comments

The delay was created by some revisions needed by the beta version (the ones in YT peeks and that we've been reviewing the past few months). The units we got in last week are the selling versions. They are shipping right now. However, I have no idea of the initial supply and demand. It seems Mazzer might have struck

When distilled water is a good thing...

I have also successfully used water with low TDS and my level sensor worked properly. But I would add that the sensitivity of the level sensor is going to be machine specific. So while low TDS water may have enough conductivity for the level sensor on some/most machines, it may not work for all machines

Red/brown water when emptying La Pavoni Europiccola boiler

Out of curiosity, if someone can look at the photos and let me know if there is an obvious suspect that would cause the water discoloration, and if that is caused by rust, what would be the best way to proceed to remove it. {image} {image} {image} {image} {image}
