www.schaerer.com Water quality Water quality A cup of coffee consists of 99 percent water. Therefore, the water has a significant effect on the coffee's taste. To obtain an excellent cup of coffee, you need excellent water. The water is important not only to the taste of the coffee but also to the coffee machine itself. Poor water quality can lead to permanent machine damage.
Water quality www.schaerer.com The water values must also be entered when the machine is taken into service and can be readily adjusted in the machine menu. On the basis of the entered values, the machine calculates the time to the next filter change (if a filter is in use) and the time to the next decalcification routine. ► Check whether a house filter system is already connected upstream from the machine. In most water, the carbonate hardness is markedly lower than the total hardness.
