First thing I noticed after I installed my softener is that I couldnt' make a pot of coffee in my Bun coffee maker without the grounds overflowing the filter cup. Strange but my hard water never did this....I ended up installing a RO unit and this elimiated the problem. A chemist friend of mine says that most of the sodium in soft water exsists as sodium carbinates...dont know why this would cause impeded flow of water through the grounds but it sure did for me.
Anyone else have this problem???
I RO'ed the soft water and the problem goes away so it is definitly the softened water that causes this...
We covered this in another of your threads...
With a Bunn-O-Matic you need the other spray head and coarser ground coffee for soft water.
RO water does make better coffee.
I did get the "slower" head...the grind is what I do by hand every morning..(count to 10). I do think that regular folgers does not do it as bad as the fresh ground...

If you want to use soft water count to 5 or 6.
people drink soft water? I just never thought of that before and I'd never do it.
