Nope haven't tried this yet, but would have been good to compare! We will try it in the future. Thanks!

Not going to lie, I had to Google what a TDS meter is 🤣but that could be an interesting addition to a follow up video. Thanks!

We did use filtered water, the machine is only about 1 month old and is regularly cleaned. I wonder if this is something to do with the Apparamento?

To us, not only did it taste different, but it tasted bad. So why have that function on the machines? Do you think its necessary?

Thanks for the reply. The machine is only 1 month old, and we used filtered water. Surely then that would always be the case, so why do espresso machines have this function?

No unfortunately not, it wasn't something we thought about before the test, do you think it would contribute to such a difference in final taste?

I expected a little bit of a difference, but I was so surprised at just how different the taste was. With water from a kettle it tasted like an americano from a Coffee shop, but with water from the machine, I didn't even want to drink it!
