You probably would agree that other than your choice of the actual coffee, water quality is probably the most important part of making good coffee. After all, brewed coffee is mostly water. In fact, coffee is at least 98% water. Therefore, the higher the quality of water, the higher the quality of the resulting cup of coffee. It’s quite simple. So needless to say, water filters for coffee machines are essential for your office.

I have seen people in the office who use tap water to brew coffee or fill the water reservoir at the back of their Keurig machine. It is not wise to use tap water because of bacteria and other unpleasant factors that cause your coffee to have off flavors. In addition, using the city’s (or municipal’s) pipe system can create the following problems:

• Mineral buildup and scaling can cause …
•      Premature wear and leaks
•      Wear and tear on the equipment
•      Clogging and slower brewing, which is pretty common in hard water regions like … Calgary
• Difficult to reach optimal brewing temperatures
• Bad tasting water from chlorine and contaminants

Planet Coffee is focused on sourcing and delivering great coffee beans, but filtered water is essential if you want to enjoy great tasting coffee. Using a NSF certified water filter is also a great office coffee solution because they remove chlorine, bacteria, lead, particulate, cysts, and dirt for your pure and safe water consumption. And it’s not just for coffee; filtered water gives you better tasting beverages and results in less wear and tear on your precious office coffee equipment. That said, for any type of machine, lack of maintenance in any situation can result in expensive repairs and replacement parts. We at Planet Coffee can advise you on when you need to have your equipment serviced and maintained. Oh, you can read how we maintain office coffee machines if you are interested.
