How water filtration contributes to barista-worthy coffees (and better mornings)

Starting your day with a perfect cup of coffee is a simple pleasure. But imagine a professional barista using regular tap water to make your cherished brew– it just wouldn’t taste right, would it? That’s why water filtration is an essential step. It ensures each sip is rich and satisfying, making every coffee experience truly special.

At Water Filters Australia, we understand that a significant number of Australians depend on coffee every day, whether they’re professionals in high-flying careers, working on construction sites or fulfilling roles as parents, teachers or volunteers. That’s why we’re committed to offering top-quality products in the water filtration market.

Our under sink water filters are easily installed and guarantee that you can confidently use tap water for your daily caffeine fix. Here’s how water filtration can make mornings so much better.

The world of coffee

Discovered by an Ethiopian goat herder who noticed his goats became unusually energetic after eating the berries from a certain tree, coffee quickly spread across the Arabian Peninsula, where it became central to social life. In the 15th century, coffeehouses began to emerge, becoming hubs for intellectual exchange. As it reached Europe, coffee’s rich flavour and stimulating qualities captured hearts worldwide. Today, it remains a popular beverage, uniting people and powering daily routines.

Water plays a crucial role in coffee making, constituting 98% of the final brew. Achieving the ideal brewing temperature is key for extracting rich flavours and aromas from coffee grounds without scorching the beans.

This typically falls between 90°C to 96°C. Additionally, the grind size of the coffee beans significantly influences the flavour profile. Finely ground coffee is best suited for espresso machines, while coarser grinds are preferred for French press or cold brew methods.

Coffee has also attracted scientific interest due to its potential health benefits. Moderate consumption may lower the risk of diseases such as Parkinson’s, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. Furthermore, coffee is packed with antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress and inflammation.

Why filtered water?

Water filtration removes impurities and undesirable flavours, providing a clean canvas for brewing. Tap water, laden with minerals and chemicals, can disrupt the delicate flavours of coffee. Have you ever brewed or bought a cup of coffee only to find it tasted like dirty dishwater? That’s how delicate the balance is. Even the slightest mistake or impurity can ruin the entire experience.

Quality-conscious baristas and high-end cafes prioritise filtered water in coffee preparation. It ensures consistency in taste and quality, allowing them to showcase the full potential of their coffee beans. If it’s the choice for cafes, it’s the best for home brewing, too.

And don’t forget your coffee machine. If you’re a true coffee lover, chances are you’ve invested in a good quality machine to brew your lifeline at home. However, tap water contains minerals that can build up and damage this precious appliance over time. By using filtered water, you not only ensure better-tasting coffee (as if you needed any more reason than that) but also prolong the lifespan of your equipment, saving you time and money on repairs and replacements in the long run.
