I purchased this machine new a five months ago. I used only Poland springs bottled water in it (as per the manufacturer’s instructions) until a month ago. Then my housemate suggested checking the PH of the tap water which we did. And it turns out that was suitable so I used that.
I have it a regular monthly cleaning schedule.
I also take all the normal maintenance steps when using it. Flushing the group head before and after use. Wiping down the steam wand. Etc.
This bundle includes:
- La Marzocco Linea Micra
- Two milk pitchers
- Breville knock box
- Espresso glasses
- Cortado glasses
- Latte mugs
- 2x tampers
- dosing funnel
- PH Testing kit
- scale
- distribution tool
- Perhaps some other things I'm forgetting :) but it's all the things you need to make the best espresso of your life at home
