Good quality water makes for better coffee and less breakdowns
Coffee is roughly 98% water, so proper water treatment is just as much about protecting your machine as it is about the flavor and quality of the coffee you serve.
We work with all major coffee filter brands, including BWT, Brita, and Everpure. We can supply filters, install them at new sites, or replace cartridges as part of a regular service.
Without effective water treatment, you risk scale buildup and sediment blocking your equipment's components. It can also lead to poor extraction due to unbalanced mineral levels, which directly impacts the taste and aroma of your coffee.
If you aren't sure what you need, we can recommend the ideal setup for your local water hardness and daily volume. We can also set up a hassle-free water treatment plan with regularly scheduled filter changes, so you never have to worry about it.
How often your filter needs changing depends on your usage, but as a minimum, we recommend changing it once a year, and ideally every six months.

Common questions
Common questions about water treatment
How often should my water filter be changed?
It depends on your volume: a busy site works through a filter's capacity much faster than a quiet one. As a minimum, change it every year, and ideally every six months. We can put changes on a schedule so it is never forgotten.
Which filter brands do you work with?
We work with all the major coffee equipment filter brands, including BWT, Brita and Everpure, and we will recommend the right filter for your water and machine rather than defaulting to one brand.
What happens if I do not treat my water?
Scale builds up on boilers, valves and group heads, causing faults and expensive repairs, and untreated water also affects how your coffee tastes. Good filtration deals with both problems at once.
