    Your supermarket water might still have a fair bit of calcium in it. Send Everpure or Bombora (both have links on the left <---) an email and ask what they may be able to do for you, I seem to recall that Bombora has a filter that you can slip over the end of a tap, fill your supermarket jugs with that.
    Sorry, should have been clear, I got a water bottle from the supermarket because I needed a container (The Wega mini does not have an internal reservoir) and filled it up from my filter at home, this is not a long term solution though.

    I looked at the sites you mentioned and they have everything I need but I have just purchased a machine and a filter for another $400.00 is probably gonna have to wait, Guess I will have to get a 2 liter bottle in the short term and fill it up at home to replenish the bottle at work :-(

      I would think $1.00 or more there will be other costs eventually even if it is only a new machine in 5 years time.

        an easy plumb in option would be to use the john guest push fit parts. Sign up with bombora for a trade account, and everything is very cheap. Put a pushfit adaptor under the sink, run the cheap small plastic hoses around to the coffee machine and then have an adaptor from push fit to a regular fitting that your wega uses. Of course youd add a water filter in the middle, but the whole set-up would cost you under $150 and you wouldnt have to call a plumber or drill any holes.

          heres the link to the push fit parts i was talking about. Theyre very reasonably priced and easy to use. If you have a trade account with bombora (which you would, since its for an office), other accessories (knock boxes, tampers etc) are far cheaper than anywhere else too

            Myself and three others enjoy espresso from my machine which I brought in to work (Gaggia Classic). Work provides milk to everyone here.

            Im providing the machine, a grinder, and my home-roasted coffee, and charging 50c a cup. Includes me actually making the coffees. Ive had others ask me if they can join this "club", but Ive refused as it would take up too much of my time.

            Theres a sign on the machine saying that its not for general use, I keep the portafilter locked in my desk draw.

            The shitty Delonghi Magnifica is back from repair, most people just use that. Goes nicely with the awful beans they are buying from a wholesaler (which are shipped from italy of all places). Its just not good.
