So, this is a bit of an unannounced project, but for the past few months I've been doing a very long term test on the quality of water used for coffee, and solutions available for the home consumer.
We have a good RO water system built into our main kitchen sink, but I disengaged it 3 months ago, and have been using a variety of water filter systems. A dedicated notebook is in the kitchen to take the occasional notes on it all.
There's a clear winner emerging, but it's not the cheapest solution.
That is BWT's Aqualizer system, and specifically their zinc+magnesium filters.
Not only does it clean out the worst of hard water / weird tasting water effects, but it swaps scale building calcium for magnesium, and add zinc to your water, resulting in cleaner espresso machines requiring less descaling.
Big article coming soon.
