20 Best Bottled Water For Espresso Machine (2023 Updated)

We’ve been in the process of building a home and I wanted to do something special for my husband (he’s the builder) and he loves coffee – so I started doing my research. I knew a friend who purchased one years ago and was thrilled with his Jura.

So I found the E6, which is perfect for us, because it’s only the 2 of us (I may have considered a larger unit if we had kids still around). When I unpackaged it (and I must say they did a beautiful job packaging the product-that’s part of the fun.

unpacking), it was so easy to set up and get started (I’d say about 10 minutes). My husband’s first cup of coffee was pure, smooth, delicious magic! I don’t drink coffee (tea drinker) and it has a hot water choice – which I use daily.

This is a beautiful machine and it’s worth every penny of the investment. It sits regally on our countertop (make sure you measure your counters for proper sizing) and is ready to go – all day long. I love, love, love my Jura.

I’ve already told all my friends about it and I think one of them is going to splurge on his first Jura. Thank you Jura for the craftsmanship, customer service and quality of your products.

Much easier tray to clean than my previous Saeco Intellia. The quality of construction is top notch. I find making cappuccinos and milk froth a bother with all the cleaning required, even though the machine is supposed to do an automatic cleaning.

It does make great milk foam though. This is a great machine, but I’ll probably use it mostly for espressos and straight coffees. The manual print is too dark so the photos are hard to see. Better to download the manual.

Machine came with some hose thingies that aren’t described anywhere. If anyone knows please let me know.

After wanting a Jura for over 5 years, I finally decided to take the plunge and purchased the E6 machine at Christmas time. I now completely understand why these machines are insanely expensive 1) they make top notch barista quality coffee 2) they are fully automatic AND self cleaning.

My old Cuisinart coffee maker is more time consuming to make coffee and clean up. I chose the E6 because it was on the cheaper end on insanely expensive makers. This model can only use whole bean coffee unlike pricier models.

I was fine with this. Set up was very easy. Settings are also easy to change. I watched a couple of E6 videos so I was prepared when it arrived. You turn on the machine, it does a quick rinse and heats up in what seems to be about 5 seconds.

Then you put your cup(s) under the spouts and choose the coffee type (espresso, regular coffee etc) and in another 5 seconds you have your coffee. The machine pushes the ground up beans into the waste cup and you are ready to make the next cup!!! It turns itself off automatically at the time you select.

Just before this, it automatically rinses the brew area and grind area. All you have to do is dump the grinds and rinse the collection tray. Never have to touch old grinds again. I am impressed. It is larger than a regular coffee maker but not too huge.

This falls under the top 10 of my life’s top best purchases.

We’ve been using these since buying our barista machine from Harvey Norman about 20months ago and just found out that we haven’t needed to as we have a filter attached to our cold tap, which filters out all the same things.

Apparently it says in the manual that you don’t need to use them if you use filtered or bottled water, but I obviously didn’t read that far! Still need to do the descaling and cleaning of course.

A necessary purchase to keep our Sage coffee machine running efficiently. I’d always rather an appliance did not require ongoing costs – both monetary & in terms of plastic waste, but these filters do appear to do what they say & ensure our machine keeps turning our great coffee.

This is the 4th filter for the Sage Coffee Machine that I bought from John Lewis at a competitive price. I generally keep the filter in the machine for 4 months and it does appear to reduce sediment compared to the older smaller filters used in Sage Coffee Machines.

I have used about 20L/5G of Third Wave Water in my Rancilio Silvia so far. I confess that I have not done any side-by-side comparisons of taste, as it is a hassle to change out the water tank and get a consistent shot.

However, I like the taste of my current shots, and I like knowing that this water is theoretically better for coffee. I have not experienced any issues, and my espresso tastes great. The only downside is one that is not really avoidable: I now spend a lot of time thinking about wasting this comparably expensive water.

Now when I am purging the group head, temperature surfing, or thinking about decalcifying the machine, I am keenly aware that this water is more expensive and should be conserved as much as possible, which I wasn’t worried about with filtered tap water.

The solution was simpler with normal brewing: I have two kettles, one for third wave water and one for filtered tap water used to rinse filters etc. I am not aware for a comparable solution for my espresso machine.

I suppose less water is required for espresso, so on a cost per cup basis, it may actually be comparable to brewing. I will probably continue to use third wave water for the time being, but especially if I can find a suitable way to either filter tap water, buy the water outright for cheaper, or make it myself, I will explore those options.

This isn’t really a problem with third wave water specifically, but an issue with more expensive water in espresso machines. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Our very hard tap water has a bit of a taste to it. By using a classic profile pkg of third wave dissolved in distilled water, we achieve accurate taste for various coffees and teas; they become spectacular in flavour, even through subtleties within varieties such as Nespresso, Kureg, Twinings, Ty.

Pho, etc. The packet size quantity for refillable five gallon dispensing keg allows for reorder but once per year for us, something we appreciate. The equipment remains so clean, it’s like the day it was new! We hope to enjoy this now three year relationship with EightOunce Coffee to continue for a very long time.

Thank you.

To be candid, I have no way to evaluate this product. I accept your advice not to use hard water because of mineral deposits in boiler/heating coil or distilled water because of taste and because demineralized water might be too strong a solvent and cause materials problems.

So, I use reverse osmosis water and add back the desired minerals level/composition via Third Wave. My expresso machine is only a year old, so I wouldn’t expect to see any effects yet. I plan to continue to use Third Wave on basis of some combination of logic and faith and hope I never find out whether it works or not.

I have tried all the generic brands, not worth it. Clearly filters for Jura are the best. Not happy with the price. You can buy cheaper but you get less quality. I test my water for chlorine. These filters get it out.

The cheapos either don’t or very little and don’t last as long. I used to test my water daily, that’s how I know. Now I can relax, these Clearyl filters for Jura work! They work the entire recommended time and sometimes well beyond.

I have peace of mind knowing I have excellent quality water to make my espresso. You’ve heard it said “you get what you pay for” So it is with these filters. Enjoy.

Perfect OEM Jura filter for my Jura C60 machine. Good price and discount for getting 5 at a time. I wish it was cheaper overall but this is the best price available anywhere for genuine filters for my machine.

I would not trust a knock-off filter for a high end machine. There were some on Amazon but I would not want to take a chance and then risk an expensive repair.

Seems to work well. I’m not happy about the use and inevitable waste of the plastic involved. But the alternative is the Jura descaling tablet, which in my past experience didn’t seem to do much good.

The 4/5 star of this filter review also reflects the somewhat high cost of these filters.

This water is wonderful. It has a clear, crisp taste. I suffer from severe acid reflux. No prescription nor over the counter medications seemed to help. I was advised to drink Essentia water and sip some throughout the day.

Lo and behold I felt cured. I drink this water every day and it has helped my acid reflux tremendously. Do not drink the water with medication or vitamins. I highly recommend this water and the price here at Sam’s is wonderful.

The water is decent most of the time. Occasionally, on first opening a bottle, it will smell like odorous chemicals similar to petrol. When that happens it’s usually weeks before we get normal water again.

My guess is the thin plastic allows leaching of surrounding fumes from transport or storage. I will not drink it when it happens. Cost and savings… although much cheaper than most places, the price has increased $1.

00 per pack and the amount has gone down from 45 bottles to 40 bottles per pack. The point of buying from Sam’s was to get the largest packs of water for less… so they are getting dangerously close to being no better than buying from a grocery store.

Availability: Sam’s used to allow water to be purchased via local delivery or curbside. Now, it is “not in stock” for delivery nor curbside for weeks on end. On very rare occasion it will show availability for curbside.

If you call the store you will be told they have water in stock, “but not for curbside, only for in store purchase”. I have a hard time understanding the rationale behind that. I cannot go inside, so I cannot get water.

We bought this small water bottles for the children because they open one 16oz bottle after another and don’t finish drinking them. Only for them not to drink these! They said it tasted weird so I drank out of various bottles and sure enough! It had a make up smell and tasted like eye shadow (when you smell it as well) mostly when you drink it.

We’ve bought various times and this time was a total fail! We will be getting a different brand next time. Probably plastic residue on them.

Yes, I’m one of those people that can tell tap water from bottled water the second it touches my tongue. I think all tap water is gross, and I’ve lived in several different cities that are known for having great water.

I don’t even care for the filtered water from our brand new Samsung fridge. I know that water bottles aren’t great for the environment and yada yada, but those filtered pitchers/tumblers are annoying to clean out all the time and having to remember to replace the filters.

Just let me have this one environmentally un-friendly convenience, ok? Anyways, yes, I’m even a snob when it comes to bottled water! Dasani, I’m looking at you, you taste awful. But just because I’m particular with my water doesn’t mean I want to drop tons of $$$ on Fuji or Smart Water.

Nope, this or Nestle is my go-to. Since the Member’s Mark brand is a better deal though, this wins hands down. I clearly know what I’m talking about!.

I LOVE this water. And to think we were always told NOT to drink water from Mexico. Now here I am in MN in 2021 paying for water from Mexico! Seriously though, it tricks my brain into feeling the satisfaction I used to get when drinking soda pop.

The co2 amount is minimal so it doesn’t hurt my stomach too bad. If I’m feeling really frisky, I’ll add a lime wedge or an orange wedge. Maybe even a drop or two of lime juice. Great stuff and I wish it was not so hard to find in MN.

Miraculous water in my opinion, and I’m glad I found it.

Want a refreshing drink, so delicious you’ll want more and more? Get yourself some Topo Chico! Hard to describe, but this carbonated water drink has a zip and a taste that is perfect alone, with a lime wedge, with any type of food and most of all, it is perfect when it is superchilled and served with no ice on a hot day.

I like the liter bottles (above), but Topo Chico is best in individual bottles (a case of 12 costs about the same as a case of most soda pops). Great for parties as an offering for those who don’t drink alcohol or for those who you just want to impress.

Like most Texans, I acquired the taste of this fantastic mineral water when I lived in the state. Alas, when I moved north, it was impossible to find. Now, it seems that the word is getting out and I am able to find it more readily at various Walmarts in the southwestern Virginia region.

Unfortunately, Walmarts north of Texas don’t know how to market Topo Chico, so often I find cases of it on the bottom shelf of the “Hispanic Foods” section. Unless one is specifically looking for it, it’s easy to pass it by.

Walmart should place it with the other bottled waters. Then again, all it takes is one taste to become a devotee of this exceptional drink and then there would be less for me! Give it a try for yourself!.

For years, I drank LaCroix and Perrier. Not any more. I accidently found Topo Chico at Buccee’s on I-30, outside of Dallas, Texas this year. I am now a live long convert ! No other bottled water comes close to Topo Chico Twist of Lime.

I wish it was easier to find in the plastic bottles. It’s a great product. Keep up the good work.

I usually purchase the 33. 8 FL OZ Coca-Cola Company’s Glaceau SmartWater “ORIGINAL,” but elected to try the ANTIOXIDANT version this time around. I found the Antioxidant taste to be a better than the Original bottle.

So I looked at the ingredients and the only difference is, the Antioxidant version adds Sodium Selenate. I researched and found that this ingredient is inorganic, can be toxic in high doses, but is “chosen for its selenium content and high solubility.

Sodium selenate is a common ingredient in over-the-counter vitamin supplements” (source: Wikipedia). So while I will keep, and drink the two cases I purchased, I personally would rather refrain from drinking the extra ingredient of Sodium Selenate and stick with the Original version, which does not contain it.

The choice is yours, but I personally cannot recommend. Delivery by my local Walmart was perfect! Size of the bottle is also perfect; I love how much the bottle contains, so that I know how much water I have consumed in one sitting.

As well, these tall bottles fit in the standard-size cup holders in vehicles!.

Even tho its called “Smart Water” it DOES NOT increase your IQ!! Lol. Only smart for giving it a try. The bottles are heavy duty, not thin. I like that. Hate thin squishy bottles. Like the electrolytes in this water.

Great after a workout if you don’t want a spirts drink but need to replenish electrolytes. I’ll continue to buy it. I wish it was in glass or a can instead of plastic. Too much plastic in the world. The water is good.

Prefer Smart Water over drinking Coke. Never thought I would break my “addiction”‘to drinking Cokes! The switch wasn’t even planned, which makes me laugh about this. I just prefer the lack of aftertaste of good clean water that goes down smooth.

Love Smart Water. Prefer the flip top type – less risk of spilling / splash. Easier for swallowing supplements. Flip top type are harder to find: SAVE your tops! They fit other bottles and can be washed in dishwasher -,just “bag them” ( small porous laundry bag) so they don’t fall to bottom.

Coke tastes “thick” now. The aftertaste isn’t that great. Coke still is amazing for clearing out the feeling of “stomach jam” such as bloating or feeling a heavy meal got stuck or pasta is swelling up.

I discovered Smartwater Cucumber Lime by a pleasant accident. It tastes refreshing and not overpowering. I just love when I go to take a sip and can smell the cucumber right before I taste it. Mmmmm! The ONE downside is I have such a hard time finding it that I have to always look for it.

It’s a running joke with a few of my friends because I am always asking them to check where they are going if there are any. Even online ordering doesn’t always have the flavor I want. In stores there are only a few bottles at a time available, and I regularly get other smartwater flavors to try.

But nothing compares to the cucumber lime.

I stumbled upon this water back in February and have been drinking nothing but cucumber lime ever since. I keep an eye out for sales at local retailers, but this is the only place I can find it by the case.

The only problem is if I order more than one case at a time, the box is so heavy I can barley move it or it breaks open before I can get it in my house since there are 2 or 3 cases in one box. My regular routine includes 24-48 hour fasts and drinking only this water during helps since it has electrolytes.

Not only that, but it tastes extremely refreshing every single time. I highly recommend trying it and would rate this 100 stars if I could.

In the last year prices have been going up on everything. I like buying cases of water. Never know when there’s going to be a shortage. I’ve been following prices on Poland Spring water from numerous stores.

BJ’s has been consistently cheaper than the grocery stores. Hint: Buy cases online and have them wheel it out to your car. They can be heavy.

The water is crystal clear and has a very smooth texture that makes it very easy to drink. You don’t get that feeling of ‘having to get it down you’. it’s not a struggle to get your daily quota inside you.

Having said that, it does come in very tough, strong plastic bottles which is a very BAD thing for us in the UK as we are second only to the States for the highest amount of plastic used in the world.

That said, the health benefits of THIS particular source of artesian water in Fiji with regards to silica concentrate, is almost three times that of other brands that I know of. (All of which also come in plastic bottles.

) Currently I don’t have any viable alternative way of getting this water from Des iles in Fiji to the UK. I tend not to purchase diluted, sugar-rich soda drinks without health benefits that contribute excessively to plastic waste – if only they would sell this in recyclable cans.

Anyone who thinks Fugi water isn’t any different than other water needs to take a blind water test. Have someone put at least three different waters in cups with one of them being Fugi. if you cannot tell the difference than you are the kind of person who prefers generic food over brand.

I took this challenge a few years ago thinking it was bull. I was drinking a big name brand who I won’t slander as they do a great business probably more than Fugi. when I tasted the Fugi I was amazed at the difference.

I knew immediately that it was different. I hate water and never drank it unless it was my last option, now when I open my fridge it’s usually the first thing I pull out. Also I never waste it, not at the cost of it, when I dont drink it all I put the cap back on and back in the fridge it goes.

Not sure why people are having problems with the bottle and plastic type. I find it very practical, easy to squash for recycling, hence it won’t be taking a lot of space (unlike the bottles like from Dasani).

Great taste (or more as it’s absence which is great). Can’t think of any other water brands that can be a real competition imo I do like Fiji the most, but the price is just too high for every single day use.

At least give Deer Park a try for a month, you won’t go back to any other water.
