What are the best water filters for coffee makers?
Top options include BRITA PURITY C Series for scale reduction and Pentair Everpure Claris Ultra for saltless softening and remineralisation. For home use, BWT Bestsave and Brita pitchers are affordable and easy to install.
How do I choose a water filter for my coffee machine?
Start by testing your water for hardness, chlorine, and TDS. Match the filter to your water type and the requirements of your coffee machine. Use carbon for taste and odour, softening for hard water, and RO for total control. Our test kits make it easy, and our team can help you select the right model for your setup.
Can I use a BWT jug for my espresso machine?
BWT jugs are a good starting point, especially if you're using an entry-level espresso machine like a Breville. They help reduce chlorine, odours, and moderate hardness, improving the taste of your coffee and protecting your machine from limescale. For even better performance, especially in machines with water tanks, consider BWT Bestsave filter pouches. These drop directly into the tank, add magnesium for better flavour, and protect against scale. For very hard or high-TDS water, you may need a more advanced filter setup like an in-line or reverse osmosis system.
How often should I replace my water filter?
Replace most cartridges every 6-12 months, or sooner if flow slows or taste changes. For high-use machines or hard water, check the rated litres or gallons, or use a flow meter. Home jug filters typically last 2-3 months.
