The First Step To Great Coffee Is Great Water

Top of the list of priorities for coffee shop operators is the best coffee machine for the job, and quality coffee. Yet water makes up to 98% of a cup of coffee, so it shouldn’t be ignored.

And it increases the lifecycle of your coffee machine by preventing limescale build-up, so it’s good for the environment too.
