Brew Better (Not Bitter) with RO Filtration
Is the secret to the world’s best cup of coffee…reverse osmosis (RO) water? We may be biased, but we think so.
If you’re not using a coffee machine water filter, your water likely has total dissolved solids (TDS) flowing within it. And if that’s the case, all that inorganic and organic matter is also in your coffee and espresso drinks. Not the jolt your customers are likely looking for.
TDS includes sulfates, chlorides, bicarbonates, organic matter, calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc. And while you need some minerals in your water for the best taste, it should be a balance.
High TDS in water blocks the beans from processing and weakens the coffee flavor. Low TDS can lead to a bitter, oily cup. According to the Statistics & Standards Committee of the Specialty Coffee Association, 11.5 to 13.5 grams per liter TDS is the just-right level for your cup.
Okay. So, what water filtration system can balance TDS levels instead of filtering everything out? Answer: Reverse osmosis for coffee. RO water for coffee helps to reduce impurities while managing TDS and mineral content. In short, a commercial water filtration system for your coffee shop can keep your equipment running longer and your customers happier.
