BRITA Marella water filter jug: Perfect water quality for your coffee and more

Coffee is 99% water, and the quality of the water used has a huge impact on the taste. At the same time, water plays a crucial role in the maintenance of your portafilter machine. Limescale and other minerals in tap water can damage the machine and shorten its lifespan. This is where the BRITA Marella water filter comes in, optimally treating your water to ensure the perfect coffee and protect your equipment.

How does the BRITA Marella water filter improve your coffee experience?

Limescale, chlorine, and other substances dissolved in water not only impair the taste of the coffee, but can also significantly shorten the lifespan of your portafilter machine. The BRITA Marella water filter ensures that these substances are removed from the water. This makes your coffee taste more intense and keeps your machine in better condition for longer.

By reducing limescale in the water, the time between necessary descaling cycles is significantly extended. This saves time and maintenance costs while protecting the machine's sensitive components.

Tips for use and care:

• First use: Do not consume the water from the first two filtering cycles. After that, the filtered water is safe and perfect for making coffee.
• Filter change: You should change the filter every four weeks or after 100 liters to ensure optimal water quality.
• Cleaning: The BRITA Marella table filter is dishwasher safe, except for the lid with the electronic display, which should be cleaned by hand.
