    Re: Double-Boiler Equals Upgrade?

    I wonder if the taste of reboiled water is as much the contact with the copper tank and pipes as the re boiling. After all an electric jug has no effect on the water when its part used then reheated again and again. But it doesnt take much copper contact to sour water off. I did read of a machine that boasted coated tanks and pipes but for the life of me I cant find the article while I an writing this post

      Welcome otzi.... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

      Not sure mate. Our kettle is a s/steel job heated on the gas stove. However, I can taste a difference between freshly boiled water used in a Long Black or a cup of tea for that matter, and that made with reboiled water. As a result we only ever use freshly boiled water.

      Not sure about the effects of copper on boiling water but espresso machine manufacturers have been using copper for a great many years now (dual boiler machines) although some do use s/steel so that may be an indicator. Sounds like we need a chemist to chime in with some factual data....
