      Rainwater is very acidic, usually around 5.5 which is not good for coffee machines. You can easily test it with a $10 test kit from bunnings.

        This is what I'm using... if you can be bothered. I use Pureau water which is stocked by Woolies and Coles in 10 litres casks.

          so this has to be tweaked to be used. its not ok as is? I'm looking for something that doesnt need tweaking if possible.

            No you can’t use it as is unfortunately It has almost zero TDS.

              The easiest way to tweak water that had too low TDS is to add some tap water to it too bring the TDS up to a desired level. If your water is as hard as you think it won't need to be much.

                Ok this sounds like a simple solution. Thanks.
