    Chris, the reason I mentioned the retailer informing the customer is because I remember being at the shed when you were helping someone get their new machine into the car and you were reiterating that they had to be sure to use suitable water and why that was the case

      Everyone should have a Breville Hot Water Jug, the clear glass one. I can see the scale build up in that on the element.

      What people maybe don't realise is that boilers in a coffee machine will scale up many times worse, potentially, as it is hot for much longer and there can be concentration of the salts unless a lot of water is passed through the boiler.

        That we do MF....Most don't remember any of the stuff I say though (excitement thing)- which is why it all goes in the education section of our website- for when retrospective due diligence is called for. Negligence doesn't cut it for me- no matter what the excuse is...

          I use the same water for the kettle as I do the Rocket and the kettle is scale free. Altona water is good but I'm still surprised. Work kettle in Camberwell scales up after a couple of days.

            You have to be careful with water. The scale actually protects the boiler although it has other bad effects. The ideal water has a slight tendency to form scale still and so descaling is still needed periodically.

            It sounds strange but true. The worst water is acidic or deionised water as it directly attacks the boiler and lines.
