Well it's getting harder to find distilled in FL now to make your own. Nobody has had any for 2 weeks and that's been happening sporadically last few months. Not even Publix, I managed to get just 1 gallon of some company called Pure Life never seen here for distilled at almost...

At home, I use R/O water with a very light remineralizer (which isn't nearly enough), so I've been looking through resources for water recipes.

I came across this, which I think is very much worth sharing! Seems potassium bicarbonate is one of the favorites for taste.

If...

Seems like overkill for our use case but idk, so I'm looking for opinions before my first espresso machine arrives. We don't have the most refined palates compared to what some espresso enthusiasts can distinguish, so I really only took an interest in this subject when I heard...

Hi All,

I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on a LMLM and wanted to re-check my water to make sure it's suitable.

Using the popular API test kit, my filtered central NJ tap water is showing 35.8 PPM KH (2 drops to change color) and 71.6 PPM GH. From my limited knowledge...

OK maybe having the word dirty in the subject wasn't the best choice.

I will be in Utah for a bit at Snowbird. I can't find the water details but I know the water has high mineral content. I think I saw somewhere that it was TDS of 500 but I could not find a detailed water...

OK, so I broke down and now a KvdW Speedster Idromatic is on the way, very soon to be arriving. I've been feeding our Izzo Alex Duetto III with copper boilers that is plumbed in with a BWT Best Head Flex & Best Max Premium 'V' water filtration system (bypass set to 3) and...

]Hello everyone. Just to give you little context here.
I bought Nezerra Bz 13 last year, used it without descaling, to be honest I did not gave second thought to.water,when I started researching last week I got terrified.
I cleaned the machine,all.is well.
I've got 1 gallon...

I just installed the vivreau purity c50 filter which allow you to bypass the softening part of the filter.

Using the api test kit my tap water was reading gh = 8 drops and kh = 6 drops.

With the filter set at 50% bypass I am getting test results of gh = 4 and kh = 3.

I do not...

Hi all, I'm a recent espresso machine guy, trying to make sure I have an adequate water situation. I have a Profitek machine from WLL, and they seem to use BWT as their water filter vendor of choice, so I bought a test kit and a pitcher/filter as that seemed to be the likely...

I bought a really cheap TDS/conductivity meter.

It looks like this:

It's completely useless as it does not adjust for temperature. Water from my mains cold water tap (maybe 10C?)reads 330ppm. Same water 30s later from the microwave (maybe 50C?) reads 700ppm.

Have I just got...
