Back
In Australia, our pursuit of the perfect cup of coffee is nothing short of a national obsession.
Skilled baristas have achieved cult status in our vibrant coffee culture.
More and more of us are splashing out on specialist blends and buying high-end coffee machines in an effort to replicate our favourite cup of coffee shop Java at home.
A great cup of coffee is 98% water
The ratio of coffee to water makes it obvious how much the water you use will affect the taste, aroma and overall quality of your morning coffee.
As well as removing contaminants and impurities, the right filtered water will enhance the natural flavours of the coffee beans and help protect your coffee machine from the damaging effects of scale and calcium build-up.
In Australia, the quality of our tap water varies across regions and if it doesn’t taste good to drink straight from the tap, it won’t make a great cup of coffee either.
Elevate your homebrew
For those of us who savour the morning ritual of brewing our first cup of coffee, having a good coffee machine and high-quality beans is only part of the process.
Using freshly filtered water is a game-changer that will elevate your home-brewed coffee to a whole new level.
Tap water may contain chlorine, calcium, minerals and other impurities that can interfere with the delicate balance of flavours in your coffee.
A mains-fed water filtration system ensures your tap water is clean and free from contaminants and unwanted tastes and odours.
The most popular water filtration system for coffee lovers is Reverse Osmosis, as it removes up to 99% of contaminants, including calcium, which causes scale build-up in coffee machines.
Ask your favourite barista to spill the beans
Next time you pop in for a delicious coffee, ask your barista what water they use to brew their coffee.
Most coffee shops, restaurants and hospitality venues view water filtration systems as an integral part of their business when it comes to customer satisfaction.
Using straight tap water is a no-no, plastic bottled water is too expensive and environmentally harmful, and a countertop filter jug just couldn’t cope with the demand for fresh drinking water and coffee brewing.
A mains-fed Reverse Osmosis filter system is the most popular and reliable choice for most cafes.
Benefits of a mains-fed water filter system
Under-sink water filter systems are the most convenient and cost-effective way to provide high-quality drinking water in busy homes and commercial coffee shops.
There’s no buying, carrying and storing heavy water bottles and running the risk of running out.
Mains-fed water filter systems connect to the cold water supply in your home or business and provide an unlimited supply of freshly filtered water day and night.
For busy coffee shops, where every second counts, a constant supply of filtered water is a must.
Budget-friendly and environmentally conscious
Apart from being convenient, mains-fed water filter systems are budget-friendly.
Compared to constantly buying bottled water, an under-sink water filter system is a one-off purchase.
The only additional costs are replacing the filters every 6 to 12 months and a yearly service to keep the system hygienic and working effectively.
A built-in water filter system is far more sustainable and environmentally friendly than single-use plastic bottled water.
How does a mains-fed water filter work?
Under-sink water filtration systems connect directly to your mains water.
Most systems typically use a combination of filters to remove impurities such as chlorine, sediment, heavy metals and bacteria.
Chlorine is added to our tap water and can leave an unpleasant taste and smell, as well as cause scale build-up in coffee machines.
Sediment includes small particles of dirt, sand, and soil, which are removed by filters, along with traces of heavy metals.
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis (RO) filter systems remove calcium and up to 99% of contaminants, bacteria, chemicals, including PFAS, sediment and pesticides from your water supply.
It is the most effective way to guarantee safe, clean drinking water if you live in an area with poor-quality source water.
RO systems strip practically everything out to provide pure water, including healthy minerals that our bodies need.
Adding a remineralisation filter to an under-sink RO system provides perfectly balanced, great-tasting water for drinking and making coffee.
Enjoy your coffee
When it comes to making great coffee, you need good coffee beans, high-quality water and a decent coffee machine.
Whether your “go-to” cup of coffee is a frothy cappuccino, a creamy latte or an extra strong double espresso, make sure it hits the right note by using freshly filtered water.
