Why do we sell the BRITA Marella table filter?

The water used to prepare coffee has a massive influence on the taste of the coffee. Therefore, filtering tap water is a quick and easy way to get delicious coffee in your cup. This also protects the portafilter machine considerably. Substances such as lime can damage portafilter machines and, if in doubt, completely disable them. The use of a filter does not completely eliminate the need to descale a portafilter machine. However, the cycles of how often descaling is necessary are significantly longer. This filter is easy to use and ready for immediate use. The alternatives are to use purchased water in PET bottles, which is not really great for ecological reasons, or to use a permanently installed filter. Fixed installation is certainly the most convenient solution, but this BRITA table filter is a good and affordable way to get started.
