Water in coffee is anything but trivial.

Anyone who earns their money with coffee knows that good sales can still be made with this favorite international specialty. Accordingly, restaurateurs, hoteliers, and café owners are prepared to pay in advance and to put a lot of money in their hands to make sure that business with the world's most aromatic drink goes well. The pressure of competition from nearby suppliers, who often compete for customers just a few meters away from their own shops, does the rest. If you want to be ahead in the challenge for the tastiest coffee in the world, you should avoid making a mistake: dismissing water as a trivial matter.
With water contributing up to 98% of a cup of coffee, the wet element is at the top of the list of ingredients. “Not every water is equally suitable for making coffee,” says Dr. Frank Neuhausen, Managing Director at water optimization specialist BWT water+more. “Of course, all tap water in Germany is of drinking water quality and can be enjoyed without hesitation. But when it comes to protecting coffee machines and fully automatic coffee makers from water-induced deposits and damage and extracting the coffee aromas during brewing—and ultimately developing the coffee taste—the water’s sometimes separate worlds, depending on the region. An ideal coffee water, which protects the expensive machine technology and in which the more than 800 aroma components of coffee can develop optimally, has a certain mineral ratio and is free of particles, undesirable accompanying substances, and off-flavors, which can negatively influence the coffee taste. “To draw such suitable water directly from the tap is rather rare,” Dr. Frank Neuhausen knows from experience.
Frank Neuhausen and his colleagues from BWT water+more advise everyone who earns their money with coffee to pay attention to water. “Because this is just as important an ingredient as coffee itself. A coffee can only taste as good as the water with which it was prepared.”
What Doesn't Work Can Be Made to Work
As Europe's technology leader and inventor of sensory oriented water optimization for the HoReCa industry, BWT water+more offers the world's largest portfolio of filter solutions and optimization systems, with which users can optimally prepare any local drinking water for coffee preparation—both in terms of maximum machine protection and the best possible extraction of flavors.
Our solutions and tools also help to achieve a uniform, consistently good taste quality in different outlets in different regions—important for owners of several cafés and for coffee shop, restaurant, and hotel chains as well as for operators of coffee vending machines.
Sensorially-oriented Water Optimization with BWT Magnesium Technology
BWT water+more was the first filter manufacturer in the world to turn to the sensor technology of water and recognize its importance for the taste of coffee. The development of BWT magnesium technology has set new quality standards worldwide. In this patented process, the mineral ratio in the water is shifted in favor of the important flavor-carrier magnesium while reducing the calcium content to an ideal level. This creates the right mineral balance for the development of coffee’s aromas. A scientific study by the University of Applied Sciences in Zurich from 2016 confirms this effect.[1] By reducing calcium, coffee machines are also effectively protected against limescale deposits, gypsum formation, and corrosion.
BWT bestmax PREMIUM is a classic with BWT magnesium technology from BWT water+more. The filter cartridge turns any tap water into ideally balanced coffee water in barista quality, in which the aroma components of the brown bean can develop optimally. Coffee simply tastes better, espressos get a fine, stable crema, and the machine technology is permanently protected.
