The Best Water for Coffee is Worth the Effort
‘Coffee technicians, baristas and shop owners
know about the tremendous benefit of
investing in excellent equipment, purchasing
a fine espresso machine and having their staff
trained. They choose the types of coffee for
their outlet with care, after all, the offer must
match the ambience and the expectations of
coffee lovers.
From experience, we know that these
experienced and switched-on professionals
don’t always consider water a high priority
and unfortunately, are happy to accept OK
water straight from the tap.
Some consider water optimisation for coffee
preparation to be unnecessary or an
additional cost factor. Not factoring in the
right type of water can, at some point, lead to
machine damage, failure due to corrosion or
limescale deposits and if this occurs,
expenses will undoubtedly increase. A
phenomenon that many baristas know from
their own experience is that coffee prepared
with a different water suddenly no longer
tastes as full-bodied and aromatic, even
though it was prepared in the same way, with
the same machine as usual. A coffee can only
taste as good as the water with which it was
prepared.’ - William Hinton, BWT Water+More.
