Water for coffee

It might seem absurd or exaggerated, but water, with its characteristics, preponderantly influences the result of the espresso, being that it comprises about 90% of its composition, not to mention in filter coffee, where it makes up 98% of it.

E' tempo di cambiare.
E fare ancora di più.

Investire in un sistema di trattamento acqua può sembrare oneroso, ma i benefici superano di gran lunga i costi sostenuti. Lavastoviglie professionali sempre efficienti, poca manutenzione e eliminazione del tempo utilizzato per lucidare posate, piatti e bicchieri.

Not all water
is the same

The use of unfiltered water not only affects the coffee you are preparing, but over time, it could potentially damage the precious coffee machine. Water with high carbonate hardness can cause the formation of limescale, while the high permanent hardness can generate chalk deposits.

Improve the taste

Every element dissolved in the water transfers it own particular characteristic, soft, bitter, salty, and so forth. Finding the right blend of these substances creates the perfect recipe for obtaining the best possible product, enhancing the aromas and giving your drinks an attractive appearance. After all, water is the main ingredient of any drink.

Treatment is worth it

Mineral deposits, due to the hardness of the water, are the cause of malfunction of the machines. Maintenance times increase and so do management costs, in the long run, the damage caused becomes absolutely relevant. Untreated water also leaves residue on glasses and cutlery, giving an opaque look, and the impression that they are dirty. And who would want to drink a bad coffee from a dirty cup?

Water treatment methods

Water treatment occurs mainly in three ways.

Water softener

The result one obtains through the use of the water softener is the elimination
of the calcium Ca2+ and magnesium Mg2+ ions, which are responsible for the
hardness of the water.
In this way, one effectively prevents the formation of build-up of limescale that
over time reduces the performance of the machines
and causes their breakdown.

Decarbonization

The decarbonisation filters remove the carbonates of calcium CaCO3
and magnesium MgCO3. The use of these filters allows you to obtain a triple
result, protection of the machines, drinks with tastes that are richer
and fuller, and sparkling clean glasses, dishes and cutlery.

Reverse osmosis

Thanks to the very high degree of filtration that characterises reverse osmosis
machines, it is possible to obtain water with very high quality characteristics.
Passing through one or more membranes causes the water to be purified not
only of the elements that determine its hardness, but also of all the
contaminating substances, responsible, for example,
of unwanted odours and flavours.

Coffee Products

Water is the main ingredient, that magical liquid that transforms ground coffee into espresso. Have you ever tried using water that was too soft, as if it were distilled? We’d get an evanescent cream. And water that is too hard?
Too bitter, and with unpleasant tastes! A water with the right ratio of calcium, magnesium and carbonates, manages to take the aromas we want from the coffee, bringing them to the cup, so that we can have the perfect espresso.
