Warning: My espresso machine's water filter made a huge difference in 2 weeks
I switched to a Brita filter for my Gaggia Classic at home in Portland, and after 14 days the scale buildup on my boiler looks like night and day compared to before. Used to descale every month, and now the vinegar bath barely catches anything. Has anyone else seen this big of a change just from filtering tap water?

Did you actually compare the pH or mineral content of your Portland tap water before and after the Brita filter? I'm curious if it's removing enough calcium to explain that big a drop in scale, or if maybe your water is just unusually hard to begin with and the filter is only taking the edge off. I'd want to test it myself with a cheap TDS meter to see the exact numbers.
