    Hi All

    I am one of those "filter in & out" rainwater dudes. Even though I am lucky to live in an area with very little "upwind traffic" I still would recommend due care unless you have a remote farm.
    IN - rough filtering removing & preventing anything getting into the tank in the first place - frogs, mouldy leaves etc - via a 60 litre holding tank.
    OUT: basic stone candle filtering my H20 for coffee.
    FWIW, every time I try chemical filtering or RO systems I can taste the difference.
    Result - No residues means no need to clean above the showerscreen on any of my machines, even after years of use. Oh, and the coffee is so good that I supply rainwater to a few friends for their cuppas.

    Hope this helps.

      SCALE = PARANOIA.

      Can someone please provide scientific evidence of how rainwater will cause scale to build up in a coffee machine.????????

      It has been explained in detail that filtered rain water is devoid of those nasty little creatures whose sole purpose is to destroy coffee machines by depositing scale in the boiler and other vulnerable parts.

      Sage advice was given about in line magnets. I have used one for over five years now. It is highly effective in rendering the above creatures impotent.

      My coffee machine has no scale deposits at all, and I use filtered tap water, and the inline magnet is a wonderful backup. Helps dissipate OCD as well.
