I don't know if his particular machine supports it but he can check with his provider about a Heat Moisture Exchange for his machine. Basically it eliminates the need for water or a reservoir. I have one and it's very convenient. But I know not all machines support them. But I like to mention it as an option because a lot of folks don't know about them. However the distilled water is also nice for coffee as tap water in Florida sucks LOLOLOLOL
