Londinium R water temperature after plumbing in

Costeijn Kuhlmann

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I plumbed in my Londinium R. Since then I have the feeling the water temperature is hotter then normal then with using the pump. I use a line pressure regulator but the coffee taste ashy/bitter.

I currently run a medium roast about 4 weeks post roast. The line pressure is set to 2 bar. The lever grabs around 45 degrees. But still it tastes ashy. Also my other coffees taste kind of the same.

Someone has an idea?

My setup:

water tap -> water leak detection lock -> pressure regulator -> BWT BestMax Premium S -> espresso machine.

Kind regards,

Costeijn.

hi Costeijn

just dial back the water pressure to say, 1.5 bar

the lower the water pressure the lower the brew temperature

let me know how you get on

best

Ok, it wasn’t getting better so I removed the connections and did some taste tests of the water. It turned out I had to flush more water through the filter then I did (or taste it next time) bevause the watertaste was awful.

Everything is fine now and once again the L-R makes great espresso again.
