One thing about having a really great water filtration system (reverse osmosis etc.). Is you can sell just the water, or infuse it with carbonation. I really think sparkling water and espresso are a great compliment to each other. Obviously, don't mix them. But give it a try.

I will put in a vote for Brita Maveas. They were easy to install, recyclable and you can adjust the amount of filtration to fit your needs.

Brady,<br />
Thanks for bringing this discussion back to the beginning. That being imo, the details of the system is dependent on your local and individual needs. The only way to know this is check with the local municipality like Brady mentioned and have your water tested. In my particular location I don't need to soften the water for the espresso machine. My ice maker and espresso machine and sink tap are the only three draws on the filter system. I want to add a low flow audio alarm to my system…

My ice maker and espresso machine and sink tap are the only three draws on the filter system. I want to add a low flow audio alarm to my system for another warning when the system needs attention. I hope to hear that before I notice a low flow on the spro machine.<br />

From a quick scan of LA's annual water quality <a href="http://www.ladwp.com/ladwp/cms/ladwp013475.pdf" target="_blank">report</a> it looks like your needs can vary depending on what part of the city you are in, probably by the time of year as well.

I'll vote for the Everpure system linked below. One large pre-filter, three micro carbon (three enables high volume and high demand uses), and a scale reducer. I've used this one for over 12 years. The water tastes great and we've never had an issue with any sediment or mineral build-up in any piece of equipment. We built our shop so that filtered water went only to the cooking/baking area, ice machine, pop machine, coffee makers, and espresso machines. If you plumb it to filter all water,…

We built our shop so that filtered water went only to the cooking/baking area, ice machine, pop machine, coffee makers, and espresso machines. If you plumb it to filter all water, (i.e. toilets, dish washing, mop sinks), you'll need to change filters more frequently. We also used a small canister type softner at the espresso machine only. BTW - don't let the price scare you, there's lots of places that sell it for several several hundreds less.<br />
