I live in Las Vegas with very hard water - hardest in the US. For the GCP I dont even want o bother with filtered water at all. I get gallon jugs of distilled water - not natural spring water and add Third Wave water packets to it. Not only will you kiss scaling issues in your coated aluminum boiler good bye - the taste of your espressos will improve vastly. I am plastics conscious - so do not get new jugs. THere's a filling station and it is 40 cents for a gallon. I have 4 jugs - once every 4/6 weeks for refills. Third Wave is $18 for 12 packs for the gallon jugs. So my cost comes to $2/gallon approx - glad to pay that for the machine safety and the taste. https://a.co/d/0cmrl06N
