For your 120 ppm (7 gpg) hardness water, this 750

I tried the wet spoon handle on tonight's cup. No change. Just as much static, just as much retention. I tried opening up to the coarsest setting and moved it cw and ccw and it didn't change anything. Grounds still stuck up in the chute and all around the lip to the chute. Three good bangs and I got all

A cheap metal Vietnamese phin filter machine based on a simple cup with filter is the most simple easy to deal with espresso maker.
