Choosing the Right Water Technology for Your Business
It’s worth the effort to use the best water for coffee.

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 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 considered work.”
From experience, we know that, in some cases, users do not even have water on their radar as a key ingredient and take it—as it were, fatefully—as it flows out of the pipe. “Or some consider water optimization for coffee preparation to be unnecessary or as an annoying, additional cost factor. Until at some point machine damage or failure due to corrosion, lime, or gypsum deposits occur, which is then all the more annoying and expensive.” You may be familiar with the results from your own experience: a coffee that once tasted full-bodied and aromatic suddenly falls flat, even though it was prepared in the same way, with the same machine, as usual—but with a different water.
"Everyone who earns their money with coffee should pay attention to water, so that investments pay off and what you have sown will blossom.”
- Dr. Frank Neuhausen, Managing Director at BWT water+more
The international team from BWT water+more advises everyone who earns their money with coffee to pay attention to water. “Because this is just as important an ingredient as coffee itself. A coffee can only taste as good as the water with which it was prepared.”
What Doesn’t Work Can Be Made to Work

A Worldwide Quality Standard, Best for Coffee: BWT bestqua 14 ROC Coffee
The innovative BWT bestaqua 14 ROC Coffee, an optimization system consisting of reverse osmosis technology and subsequent mineralization, is the right choice wherever very large quantities of water have to be optimized for coffee preparation or where the source water is very problematic, for example, because it contains many unwanted particles and accompanying substances and there is a problem with gypsum formation. First, all accompanying substances and off-flavors are filtered out by reverse osmosis using a high-performance membrane. Then, the mineralization unit with BWT magnesium technology equips this now very pure water with the ideal mineral balance for a flawless extraction of fine coffee aromas. BWT bestaqua 14 ROC Coffee is highly efficient and, due to its compactness, extraordinarily space saving. It is extremely robust, durable, and conveniently controlled via smartphone app. In terms of sustainability, it scores highly with its extremely low wastewater generation and low resource consumption. The right water optimization brings many advantages: improved work processes, a better coffee taste, and fewer machine breakdowns. Maintenance and repair costs are immediately reduced.
