Mixing the 5-gallon sticks is the same (albeit a little more difficult) as mixing the 1-gallon or 2-liter sticks.

- Mix the water using the TWW Mixing Stick attached to a typical power drill.
We recommend using a powered pump (we like the FloJet) to hook up your espresso machine so you don't have to manually fill your espresso machine in use.
