6 - Water
All coffee beverages start with two things- coffee and water. Because the majority of espresso is water, it
should come as no surprise that quality water is important to the taste of the espresso. Additionally, using the
wrong water can eventually cause problems for your machine and even cause part failures. So what water to
use?
None of the Domobar Super espresso machines can use distilled or reverse osmosis (RO) water because
these waters contain virtually no minerals. The water level sensor in the boiler needs a small amount of minerals
to sense the water level. Without these minerals the boiler will be overfilled and that can cause numerous prob-
lems, and can even damage the machine. On the other hand, water too high in mineral content or water containing
the wrong minerals can cause rapid buildup of lime and calcium deposits that can reduce boiler volume, cause
poor heating performance, and can eventually lead to heating element failure.
Water hardness test strips are available that can be used to make sure that the water you are using is safe for
your machine. Inexpensive TDS meters are also readily available for purchase and these can be used to test the
hardness of your water. If you find that your water is too hard, we recommend using either an in-tank replaceable
water softener cartridge that attaches to the inlet hose or a Brita filter system- or both! The Brita pitcher-style
filters are made to improve the taste of the water as well as soften the water by removing calcium and lime which
are generally the worst offenders when it comes to causing hard water deposits in the boiler.
If you don’t want to deal with filtering water in the pitchers then another solution is to install an in-line, un-
der-the-sink water filter designed to filter water to be used in espresso machines. Check with your retailer/reseller
for more details on which of these filter systems would work best for you.
