I've been using a Remora for a while and yeah, the microbubbles seem to be a common occurrance. I find that rinsing anything off in warm water contributes to micro bubbles, so rinse the cup and so on in colder water.... other than that, I have no other suggestions. If your using tap water, it is said that various types of tap water conditioner contribute to microbubbles as well, I don't know if it's true or not. I use PRIME.

No experience with the preskmimer box...

I eliminated the micro bubbles with a $2 home made bubbles trap.
