Hi Rizwan, Congrats on your new machine.
For water, you may want to consider a Peak Water jug. It allows you to easily vary filtration based on your local water situation. I purchased one as an early backer. To be honest though, I don’t love storing my water in a plastic vessel, nor do I like when a filter has plastic in it. Water is an underrated solvent which seems to always find a way to dissolve whatever vessel is holding it with very few exceptions.
