FETCO hwb-10 hot water tower is an excellent way to deliver near-boiling water on demand at the pull of a lever. 10 gallon capacity makes it very good for high-volume environments, such as coffee shops or restaurants, delivering a lot of water at a consistent temperature. All FETCO machines are sturdy, user friendly, and reliable. This water tower was used at Broadcast Coffee in Seattle, and was very well maintained throughout its lifespan.<br />

Note - this needs a grounding adapter (less than $5 at Home Depot) to house the wiring upon installation.<br />

<p>Hi, does anyone know of a water testing kit that tests for all aspects of the SCAA water quality standards (chlorine, TDS, calcium, alkalinity, pH, sodium)? So far I've only been able to find test kits for individual aspects and I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid needing six different kits.</p>

We have (i thought) a decent filter system attached to the water line to the espresso machine....however, there is continual lime build up inside the machine so we need something more. Add an additional filter? Better system? We live in a very "limey" area. Suggestions on filter systems?

Dear barista exchange.<br />
<br />
I have been working at a coffee shop since it opened about 14 months ago. When we began, our coffee was sweet and clear, and though we were young and learning I believe that the raw elements of our coffee could have rivaled most retail shops in the specialty world. As we began learning and investing more, our coffee improved noticeably until about 5 months in.

Dear barista exchange.<br />
<br />
I have been working at a coffee shop since it opened about 14 months ago. When we began, our coffee was sweet and clear, and though we were young and learning I believe that the raw elements of our coffee could have rivaled most retail shops in the specialty world. As we began learning and investing more, our coffee improved noticeably until about 5 months in. The pour over began to decline, then the espresso, and now everything in the shop seems to lack clarity and consistency, and leaves a dry feeling and a subtle unpleasant taste in the mouth.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago I was promoted to the head of quality control, and after much research, I have narrowed my suspicions to 3 objective problems: 1. The burrs must all be replaced; 2. The boilers must be descaled; 3. The water filtration must be tuned.<br />
<br />
The burrs are an easy fix. I am looking for advice on the last 2 issues. Specifically, does anyone know of a good resource detailing the process of descaling a boiler? And how do I test the chemical levels of my water to know how to fix the current problem?<br />
<br />
In my time of need, I thank you for your consideration.<br />

<p>I wanted to know if anyone's experienced this problem before. Also, before I start dropping money on my Aurelia, I wanted confirmation if it's the water pump.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I bought a used NS Aurelia for a steal and overall it was in great condition. One thing however, when I got it hooked up and turned on is every time I pull a shot, the machine makes a loud whirring noise. It sounds like it could be the water pump that's just working, but it's definitely very audible and nasty sounding.…</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Coffee is about 98% water. I am curious if anyone has any best practice water filtration suggestions for the home.</p>

<p>I am used to working in Cafés equipped with huge reverse osmosis systems, but now I am doing my cuppings at home and I want to afford myself the same quality. I would love to install a reverse osmosis in my home, but from what I understand there is a huge amount of waste water created in the process, and I don't believe my house mates would appreciate the added utility and subsequent waste. Is there any way to filter water yet allow it to retain mineral content other than reverse osmosis? Any one favor a specific brand or model purification system?</p>
<p></p>

<p>Anyone have any thoughts about the type of water to use for pulling espresso? I'm thinking of running the espresso machine off a water tank through a flowjet. I heard that Crystal Geysers are great, but they're hard to come by in Canada.</p>

<p>Im getting a hot water dispenser for pour over and I wanna make sure the water is up to par. For home use, would a britta pitcher or faucet filter be sufficient? What are the things I do and do NOT want in my water?</p>

<p>I believe my water is softened, but, I will be relocating for school, so not sure on what the water will be like. most likely the average city water.</p>
