Water filter

Also known as water filter · filtro de jarra · carbon filter · filtre à eau

What it is and what sets it apart: Water is ~98 % of the cup. A filter isn’t “perfect SCA water”—it cleans and stabilises. Differs from descaler focus.

What it’s for and how to use it: Match media to your water report → replace cartridges → measure GH/KH if you can.

Cup impact or benefit: Cleaner cup, less pool smell, less scale. Consistency when travelling with filtered bottles.

Technical notes: Carbon ≠ remove all minerals; sometimes remineralise. See brew-water targets (SCA guidance).

Common mistakes: Filtering then ignoring recipe. Expired cartridges.
