Pure water is the secret to great coffee.
Variability in the taste and texture of coffee is frustrating for cafés, baristas and coffee shop owners. The root cause of the problem isn’t your beans or technique – it's your water. Hard water can result in bitter, flat-tasting coffee no matter how premium the ingredients.
At WaterCare, we offer filters that are compatible with both traditional espresso machines and bean-to-cup systems, achieving optimal water quality for the perfect brew every single time.
IX: Your filtration solution
Designed, developed and manufactured in the UK by world-class experts, our range of filtration solutions are the ideal match for your requirements as a café, coffee shop or restaurant owner. IX Cafe perfectly fits your requirements, keeping your machines in peak condition and ensuring every cup tastes as it should.
Our IX range encompasses 8 different filters, each tailored to a specific application in the food and beverage industries.
Buy Once. Save Forever.
An infinitely reusable casing and head ensure minimum waste and replacement costs. The internal filter can be repeatedly recharged and reused, creating a truly circular economy. The result? Less ongoing cost to the planet and your pockets.
