Miele coffee system and well water

Posted by nerd (My Page) on

We are considering installing a Miele plumber in coffee maker. Our water system is well water, however, we have a reverse osmosis filtration system for drinking water. Has anyone had any issues with using this type of water in their machine?

I would think RO would be fine if you can generate enough to fill the tank.

Much of the municipal water supply in the US is well water. You should have no problem with your unit provided you find the osmotic system puts out a palatable glass of drinking water. If you intend to tap off the RO system, then use that water for your initial hardness test. (The machine is sent with a water test strip. You follow the instructions to get a numerical value of the hardness of the water and enter that into the coffee system's NVRAM as instructed)

The hardness test tells the machine how often to call for a descaling procedure.

My neighbors have the Miele built-in coffee system. We are on well water and have RO. She loves it! She did have techs out once for a repair issue, but I've never heard her complain and they've had it for at least 5 years.
