Claris Water Filters Vs Mineral Water

[NDA]

This is not going to be at all interesting. Apologies.

I have a Jura coffee machine which is great - however the water filters are now £60 for 4 of them. I live in a very hard water area - 300ppm, so a filter is needed.

Given that still mineral water is £5 for 10 litres and (in Volvic's case) the water is only 50ppm (soft) it would seem to be around the same cost, if not a bit cheaper, to fill it with lovely French mountain water. Probably better water and resulting coffee too.

Anyone else do this?

I make tea with Highland Spring.

Hard water area also, plus Thames Water so it's heavily chlorinated and smells awful.

Yes - I exclusively use Volvic in my espresso machine
