BWT water+more | Optimised Coffee Water: Limescale Protection and Top Quality

BWT water+more filter systems provide the perfect basis for all specialty coffees

Water is the primary component and therefore the basis for a perfect taste for specialty coffees. BWT water+more provides market-leading solutions to optimize any local untreated water for use in specialty coffees in particular. The use of filter cartridges and reverse osmosis systems has a positive effect on the aroma of the coffee, protects the sensitive technology and minimizes wear. Products with magnesium mineralization make top-quality barista concoctions possible.

Water is just as important for the perfect coffee as the bean or the machine itself. However, as tap water may contain undesired substances such as chlorine, particles and heavy metals and has a high degree of hardness in some regions, filtration is essential. “Optimized water perfectly brings out the aromas in the coffee, creates a balance between the individual taste nuances and is key to commercial success,” explains Dr. Frank Neuhausen, Managing Director of BWT water+more Deutschland GmbH. Water filtration also extends the life of the coffee machine. Furthermore, the repair costs are reduced, as are the downtimes due to calcification and the energy costs.

BWT bestaqua ROC Coffee: Reverse Osmosis with Magnesium Technology

The BWT bestaqua ROC (Reverse Osmose Compact) Coffee filter system combines reverse osmosis with the patented BWT magnesium technology—two innovative developments for optimal coffee water. A high-performance membrane holds back undesired particles and accompanying substances and protects the expensive machine technology. The second step is then to mineralize the water that has been treated in this way with magnesium in order to optimally bring out the aromas of any specialty coffee. With a permeate performance of 120 liters per hour, BWT bestaqua ROC Coffee is also perfect for all outlets with a higher water consumption. The innovative plug-in technology allows the filter cartridges to be replaced easily and quickly without the need for tools. The app control makes the whole system particularly user-friendly.

The BWT bestaqua14 ROC Coffee reverse osmosis technology uses the integrated BWT magnesium technology to perfectly mineralize the coffee water.

BWT bestmax Product Family: Limescale Protection Meets the Best Taste

The professional filter systems of the BWT bestmax product family are the simple, universal solution for optimizing the water for every type of coffee. The BWT bestmax PREMIUM filter cartridge with BWT magnesium technology makes special extraction results possible in all hot drinks from coffee machines. It extracts undesired elements such as limescale, particles and chlorine from the untreated water. At the same time, the coffee water is enriched with magnesium, which has a positive impact on the extraction. The universal BWT besthead FLEX connection technology makes it easy to install and use the space-saving water filter.

The Smart Product Advisor from BWT:

THE BWT BEST WATER PROFESSIONAL APP

Water contains a different composition of minerals depending on where it comes out of the tap. It is sometimes too hard or too soft and often contains undesired chlorine compounds or off-flavors. This also explains why even a high-quality coffee can go wrong with a professional coffee machine.

The BWT Best Water Professional app for your smartphone or tablet will help you to find the right product quickly and easily.

Users can confidently be indifferent to the water at the point of use because the BWT water+more optimization systems transform any untreated water into perfect coffee water, in which the aromas can develop unhindered. At the same time, they protect the machine from deposits and corrosion.

Sustainable Management: For You and Planet Blue

We consistently put our motto into practice in our product and recycling concepts.

We consider sustainability to be a key issue for the future that is associated with responsibility and the conservation of resources. Our motto “For You and Planet Blue” is reflected in our product concepts and our recycling process. The recycling program is already free-of-charge and easy to implement for our customers and partners in many countries: they simply collect their worn-out filter cartridges in a box provided by us and we take care of the rest. Up to 99% of a typical inline filter cartridge goes into our recycling process. 

The BWT Recycling Concept

In 2018, we initiated our own recycling process for wear-out filter cartridges, for which we use the world’s most modern recycling system for filter cartridges at the BWT headquarters in Austria. Our goal is to continuously develop our sustainability concept and to expand it internationally, for example with additional local treatment systems to supplement the central recycling location.

In the recycling process, the worn-out filter cartridges are separated into their components in several steps. In this way, we get back all the reusable materials in a form that is largely unmixed and free from contamination and can then be fed back into the general cycle of materials.

Up to 99% of the materials retrieved in this way can be fed into our recycling process, enabling us to avoid large quantities of plastic waste.

Coffee technicians, baristas and shop owners know about the tremendous benefit of investing in excellent equipment, purchasing a fine espresso machine and having their staff trained. They choose the types of coffee for their outlet with care, after all, the offer must match the ambience and the expectations of the coffee lovers. “A lot of effort is put into this“, confirms Dr. Frank Neuhausen. “Unfortunately, the wrong water, which is then used to make the coffee, can more or less torpedo all this.“

When it comes to choosing the best water optimization system - on site for the local tap water quality - an online tool like the BWT Professional App ensures easy-to-access smart support. The recommendation is always concrete: the best type of filter to use for certain water conditions, as well as which filter size, based on typical local water consumption, and when to change the filter.
