                    Protect your espresso machine and improve water taste with the right filtration solution. From carbon filtration to reverse osmosis systems, our water filters are tailored for Australia's unique water conditions, helping you enjoy exceptional coffee while extending your machine's life.
Espresso machines are precision tools, and unbalanced water can lead to serious issues like scale build-up, corrosion, and chalky or under-extracted coffee. Australian tap water varies widely- what works in Melbourne may not work in Perth. That's why filtration isn't just about the brand of your machine; it's also about the quality of the filtration system. It’s about treating the water you have to reach the right balance of chlorides, carbon hardness, and TDS (Total Dissolved Solids).
Choosing the right filter starts with understanding your local water:
Get your water tested (local pool shops or test kits available) and choose based on your region's needs, not just your machine.
Contact our team or use a water testing kit to better understand your local water and the best solution for it. For optimal machine performance and consistent coffee taste, it pays to filter smart.
Yes. Even high-end machines are vulnerable to scale and corrosion from unfiltered water. A proper filter protects your investment and improves coffee taste.
Start by testing your water's TDS and mineral content. Choose based on your local water type, not your machine. Use carbon for chlorine removal, softeners for hardness reduction, and reverse osmosis (RO) for complete control.
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.
A 90-110 ppm TDS is ideal for balanced extraction and taste. Too low, and the coffee lacks body; too high, and it becomes chalky, potentially damaging your machine.
It depends on water quality and volume used. Using a flow meter provides a scientific method for tracking usage. Otherwise, replace every 6-12 months or as recommended by the filter brand.
