I thought it is time to open this thread. I think most of the backers received their packages, so maybe we can exchange observations maybe share new recipes etc.
So far I can say it is super simple to use and gives results a bit fruitier (subjectively) then my coffee brewed...
I've reading a lot of posts on water quality and chloride on here but would still love your advice.
I own a plumbed in espresso machine in an area with medium/high water hardness. I just recently found out that our chloride levels are 102 mg/l which was a shock.
I have a ECM Synchronica that is connected to the main water supply via a BWT Bestprotect waterfilter. The manufacturer states : This filter system ensures balanced mineralisation and a consistently high pH value in the filtrate - key factors that minimise the risk of corrosion....
In order to improve my brew (i'm currently using aeropress) I decided to start from the water since it was cheap and it could eventually be carried on to other brew styles and beverage.
I'm purchasing, through special channels, proper distilled water used in...

It is getting to that time of year again ... when the water supply is colder - so less Chloramine is needed - but - it also 'lasts' longer in the colder water, so you're more likely to taste Chloramine. At this time of year with the variable temperatures it is harder for Ottawa...
I've got a Mechanika Max coming my way and want to be even more careful with it than I'm being with my current machine (Barista Pro, using DI water + Perfect Coffee Water). I'm going to use the tank initially, hope to plumb it in later.
