BRITA Professional Filter Solutions
BRITA PROGUARD Coffee combines robust
protection against corrosion with innovative
mineralisation technology – for great water
and great coffee.
The perfect coffee
starts with the
perfect water.
High-quality water makes the difference.
Dark or light roast, Colombian or Ethiopian, espresso or ristretto: whatever you’re brewing, the main ingredient – water – remains
the same. But water is not simply a blend of hydrogen and oxygen. It can contain a wide range of dissolved minerals, organic
substances, particles and residues from treatment and piping. And this composition varies greatly from region to region.
So what does this mean for your coffee? Your water can have a major impact on your coffee’s avour and aroma prole, its
mouthfeel, its crema and more – after all, a cup of coffee is 98 per cent H2O. Exceptionally hard or soft types (i.e. with a high or
low mineral content) can result in unpleasantly bitter or bland brews. And beyond matters of taste, certain water types can pose
a risk to machinery. Corrosive conditions, plus limescale and other deposits, can threaten equipment, damaging delicate components and leading to costly downtime.
Achieving the ideal water composition
How can you be sure your water is suited to the task at hand
– and that your machines are reli ably protected? This is where
BRITA comes into play. Drawing on decades of ltration experience, BRITA is one of Europe’s market leaders for hot beverage ltration solutions, and a proven partner to the global
specialty coffee community. Its pioneering portfolio has been
successfully put to the test for a broad range of water types,
from hard to soft, gypsum to scale water, and more.
As a result, BRITA knows what it takes to deliver a brilliant
brew. Professional, targeted ltration is key to consistent
coffee excellence. BRITA’s technologies are designed to achieve
outstanding results, no matter what the composition of the
local water supply. The ltered water contains a balanced mix
of minerals, and has the ideal hardness level for use in highend equipment. Any unwanted elements that could negatively
impact or mask aroma and taste are removed.
BRITA PROGUARD Coffee – designed
for salty scenarios
BRITA’s comprehensive portfolio, ranging from ion exchangers to activated carbon and particle ltration, has now been
rounded out with BRITA PROGUARD Coffee, a patented solution
that unites reverse osmosis (RO) and mineralisation technology. With its established PURITY and new BRITA PROGUARD
products, BRITA is able to offer the perfect ltration system
for excellent coffee for virtually any water conditions.
BRITA PROGUARD Coffee was made with the specic requirements of coffee machines in mind, and is ideal for water compositions with high levels of salts. Signicant concentrations of
chlorides and sulphates, in particular, pose a threat – corroding
machinery and imbuing coffee with a disagreeable saline
avour. A reverse osmosis membrane effectively removes
these substances. Moreover, innovative, adjustable mineralisation levels ensure the right composition for a great taste, and
produce a pH-neutral ltrate. This leaves you to focus on what
matters most: making your brew the best it can be.
