A cup of coffee consists around 98% water. So the quality of that water has a huge impact on flavor. Water which is too hard can make coffee taste bitter or dry, while water without minerals can lead to flat, dull flavors. The right mineral balance helps extract aromas properly, making your coffee taste clear, vibrant, and well-balanced.

If you want to get the most out of your coffee, start with the water.

ZeroWater filtration

Brewing with the right water for your specific coffee is always tricky, specifically at home or on the go. The ZeroWater filtration systems are very advanced and will turn even the hardest tap water into clear water without dissolved solids.

ZeroWater’s 5-stage filter goes beyond the usual. Where standard filters are designed to improve flavour, this filter removes up to 99.6% of dissolved solids, including heavy metals and other unwanted stuff you’d rather not think about. The result? Clear, clean water that lets your coffee shine. Each filter uses ion exchange technology to strip the water back to its essence; nothing added, nothing lingering. Just refreshing clarity in every cup.

For best results, swap your filter when your TDS meter reads 006 ppm or more. Easy to check, easy to change. For most European households, this will be around 100-150 liters of water, or a maximum of 3 months.

Make sure to add your preferred minerals after filtering your water for the best results when brewing coffee (or tea). For example, use the light roast profile minerals by Third Wave Water for a quick and easy way to create your perfect coffee brewing water after filtering.

Be aware: every filter is tested at ZeroWater before dispatch, so the filter can be a little damp when unpacking.
