For those of you making what seems to be coined 'rpavlis water', how are you making it? I've seen it mentioned many times and I've seen some posts where people provide different measurements for it, but it wasn't until today that I looked for rpavlis' actual post that spells it...
I'm in the final stages of my kitchen remodel and as part of it I am planning to plumb in my machine. I want to make sure I purchase the correct filter. It seems like the BWT Bestmax Premium is the way to go for the remineralization, however I don't have hard water (I...
I have been making water targeting 15 Kh and 50 Gh a gallon at a time - no concentrates. I use Baking soda for the Kh and Epsom Salt for the Gh. I weight the minerals then add to a freshly opened distilled water gallon jug, shake and let sit for a day or two before using and...

I have on order a Specht LMLM and want to plumb it in for convenience, since I've on more than one occasion forgot to refill my tank and run out of water while pulling a shot. It will also save me the trouble of driving to Whole Foods to refill RO water and then add the Third...
I began with the Silvia over 15 years ago. Over the years, I moved on to LaPavoni, Gaggia and a QuickMill Carola (my favourite). At NO time did I ever think of filters or water softeners. I have never done any water testing at home. Nor have I ever gone beyond...
