In this article, I want to describe how I am using Reverse Osmosis (RO) to keep my machine in good condition
http://coffeetime.wikidot.com/reverse-osmosis
= £20
Difficulty = easy
Time to complete = less than 20 minutes
Fully Reversible = yes
Benefits:
This would have all the benefits of stage 1
Will allow for roasting in low voltage conditions
Better

, as a Reverse Osmosis unit is far cheaper to run, more convenient and does a great job.
Distilled water in certin situations, can be slightly more reactive than tap water, to prevent any risk

end of the roasting chamber.
Target cost = less than £25
Difficulty = easy
Time to complete = less than 1 hour (it can be done in 30 minutes)
Fully Reversible = yes
Benefits:

meters are really an ideal way of measuring the effectiveness of Reverse Osmosis systems
I personally don't like those little in-line filters that sit in the cold water tank of your espresso machine

by just cooling the same weight of water by one degree.
In reverse it's also the reason why evaporating sweat is so much better at cooling you than completely wet skin.

level was reversed so that each setting had to heat the chamber from ambient and from the level at the end of the cooling cycle. The temperature control was set to 238 Degree C and left until the end

= less than 1 hour (it can be done in 20 minutes)
Fully Reversible = yes
It would be of course desirable to have the Gene able to progressively lower the power applied to the heating element, so
