Good morning everyone.

I can't count how many hours I've been on this forum in the last 3 weeks but I finally decided to make up a login and get in the action. I got a Breville Oracle Touch (BES990BSS1BUS1) for Christmas and I want to get the most of out it that I can. We have...

For my coffee water, I buy distilled water, and add minerals back.

I am considering a reverse osmosis set-up. Is it ~0 TDS water as distilled is? Would it be a 1 for 1, same recipe and same result using reverse osmosis water instead of distilled?

What's the most convenient way to get/produce water for low volume home use, assuming I'll be adding some electrolytes..Buying a home distiller? Home reverse osmosis system? Ordering distilled water for delivery? I want to have a simple system that will never leave me having to...

Unfortunately, my kitchen water source isn't the greatest as it's being fed from an underground well into a whole home water filter and finally a water softener. My primary concern is for the longevity of my machine (synchronika).

I performed these tests twice with the same...

I'm testing pH with Aquacheck strips that I use for my spa. Whether or not these strips are best method, the...

I got a pop-up add for an electronic whole house descaler - brand name yarna.

is it safe to assume these are BS and if they worked we would all have them already?

I use RPavlis water in my Decent, but sometimes I still struggle with overly acidic espressos. Someone mentioned in another forum a while back that a strategy is to add a concentrate using a dropper right into the finished shot to dampen the acidity. The benefit of this being...

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know where I can get a 5 gallon water jug (empty or not) with gallon/liter measurement markings on it? Yes, I know I can make my own on any jug but this would save the time of measuring (2L at a time). Thanks in advance.

Would someone more knowledgable with coffee water assist in analyzing the results of a lot of testing I've recently performed? I'm trying to find the best solution for brew coffee only - no espresso.

General info:

- Whole house, salt based, water softener (not easy to plumb...
