In the world of coffee, water quality is paramount. It makes up over 98% of your total brewed result, yet water doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves. Depending on where you live, your water may contain harmful contaminants that will cause limescale buildup, or it may just contain offensive tastes and odors that will end up in your coffee. For decades, BWT has offered unique and thoughtful water filtration for coffee and espresso applications, and is used the world over.
BWT's dedication to excellence and state-of-the-art technology is the key to their success. BWT water filters surpass ordinary filtration by enhancing the taste, aroma, and overall quality of your water. This is made possible by BWT's innovative Mg2+ technology, which adds magnesium to the water, a mineral renowned for its ability to enhance flavor and promote well-being.
At the heart of BWT's success lies their commitment to excellence and cutting-edge technology. BWT water filters go beyond mere filtration; they are designed to optimize the taste, aroma, and overall quality of your water. This is achieved through BWT's patented Mg2+ technology, which enriches the water with magnesium – a mineral known for enhancing flavor and promoting well-being.
BWT cartridges perform a five-step filtration process to ensure that the high-quality standards for your water are met using the following processes:
- Separation of fine particles and suspended matter
- Elimination of organic substances, chlorine, foreign odors, and off-tastes
- Removal or hardening substances and adjustment of mineral balance
- Elimination of oxidants to protect your ion exchanger against aging
- Separation of coarse particles such as sediment and rust

The BWT Bestmax, with its simple and practical usability, is going to be a great choice for an all-round filter cartridge.

Check valves in the filter head prevent any water from back flow into the drinking water mains or filter cartridge and protect against uncontrolled water discharge. BWT bestmax food-safe filter systems are pressure-resistant and safe.
