Power. Water. Space! Specific requirements depend on the machine but often you will need a 110-volt electrical outlet, a cold water line with access to at least 10 gallons of water per day and a drain or sink to dispose of wastewater. You may also require additional items depending on the type and size of machine you are installing. These can include plumbing supplies such as valves, pipes and fittings; cleaning chemicals; paper filters; tools for operating the machine; cups, saucers and spoons. Additionally, be sure to consult the manufacturer's installation guide prior to starting so all necessary components are ready beforehand. Prior to every install Ringtons will conduct a detailed survey to see whether your space is ready for a new coffee machine set up and installation.

Generally, yes it's a good idea. Ringtons would always recommend one. Whether or not you need a water filter on your coffee machine depends on the quality of your tap water. If you live in an area with hard water, which contains a higher amount of minerals, then having a filter can help improve the taste of your coffee by removing some of these minerals. It's best to do some research on the quality of water in your area before investing in a filter for your machine.
