Hi Leslie

Most likely yes because a water softener by itself does not treat or remove any contaminants. Also, soft water is great for machines and appliances but not the ideal type of water to drink.

Stay hydrated,

In reply to Luke George. What if we are not using the flouride filters and just the regular charcoal ones, is it still good to bypass the Jura's built in filter?

Hey sir , i already use nestle water bottles for everything ( except washing ) so using the nestle water with my ecam De’Longhi magnifica s machine is enough or should i use their carbon filters ? Thanks in advance

In reply to Genevieve.

Hi Genevieve

I agree.

I see no reason to continue to purchase/replace the inbuilt espresso machine’s filter if you’re exclusively using filtered water from your Berkey.

Stay hydrated,

Hi Luke,

I’m thinking about getting a Jura fully automatic espresso machine that has their own built in water filter that they want you to continue to purchase/replace. However, I only would use water from my Berkey in the machine. Shouldn’t that be sufficient so that I wouldn’t need to use their additional filter?

In reply to Jeanne G Gibbs. Hi Jeanne RO produces some of the best tasting water around. However, if you want to experiment further then you might want to consider alkaline water. It has a deeply refreshing, smoother, slightly sweeter taste than regular water. It has some health benefits as well. The only downside is that home ionizer machines are very expensive. But you could always buy a cheap bottle of alkaline water and see if it makes your coffee taste better. Stay hydrated, Luke

I do not drink or cook with my tap water (3M dumped some chemicals back in the 70s that are starting to show their presence.) I have an RO system. I bought it to improve my tea and it achieved that very well.

Since the only drinking water I have is RO, is there a way to improve it for making coffee in a single-serve machine?

This is a very interesting and informative article!
