I have owned an espresso machine for about a month now and I am already seeing lime scale in the water refilling part of the machine.
I did some reading on water softening systems and came to the following conclusions.
1. Most filters do not affect hardness in any way.
2. Filters that do affect hardness are really expensive.
3. Some softener systems adversely affect coffee flavour.
I was wondering if using bottled water would be a more sensible option?
If so then what brand of water, and what should I look for in the analysis label?
