BIBO Water

Beware, a marmite product
So 55% rate the water dispenser poor or bad, and 44% average or good. Why this clear diversity of opinion with more against than for? Looks like a marmite situation, either it's liked or, well, hated really. Almost like it's not the same product being evaluated. Well, as you can see by my rating above, I'm unfortunately in the latter camp. Had high hopes, sounded just fantastic, fresh, pure filtered cold and hot water on tap, what more could you want. Hmm, reality different. Since having it professionally installed have never enjoyed a cup of tea or coffee, and previously loved my tea and coffees. Taste just not right, have never been able to finish a mug full, it's just not delicious as when made with fridge filtered water. Today I decided to make my coffee the traditional way in case it was my taste or the coffee, but no, have just enjoyed the most delicious mug coffee, draining the mug greedily in a minute. The contrast with Bibo water could not be more pronounced. Looking forward to my pot of tea tonight made with proper water. The cold water too is a disappointment, apart from the taste it is just not cold enough at 4°. I drink fridge water just above freezing, about 1 or 2 degrees and find this ideal. Bibo water at its lowest setting of 4° is almost tepid and that combined with the taste is a total shambles. Even potatoes boiled in Bibo water do not taste right. So unfortunately I have a smart looking but basically almost useless bit of kit in my work top. But it intrigues me that some love it, are we reviewing the same product with the same characteristics and specifications? The statistics show more people hate it though, interesting. July. Well, had the facility some months now, and conclude it is just a matter of taste. Some do get on with it. But I find the taste of the water is not right and the hot is not hot enough and the cold is not cold enough. And irritating frequent noise. But it does have its uses in washing rice, pasta etc and heating pots. But those that do like it find it very convenient and yes, they love it! So marmite is definitely the word! 19 July. Would recommend renting before committing hundreds of pounds in purchase, to see if it is for you. Think an appropriate saying here for many may be "act in haste, repent at leisure".
