Have you considered using bottled water with the optimum level of minerals for your espresso machine?
- madaxe_again 11y agoYou kid, but it gets really frustrating when consumer goods die after two months because your tap water is pretty much liquid chalk. Pour a glass, leave it for an hour, there'll be a few mm of calcium carbonate precipitated out in the bottom of your glass. Can't use it for ice (just crumbles - too mineralised), coffee and tea end up with a skin, anything that quick-boils water, like an espresso machine, is destined for the trash heap.
- marcoperaza 11y agoI was being dead serious. A good espresso machine is a big investment and I think it's common for people to use bottled water in them when the local tap isn't ideal for taste or machine health. I can imagine that kind of tap water being extremely frustrating. I've been very satisfied with the tap water everywhere I've lived, but it sounds like I'd be a bottled water guy in Copenhagen.
