Most coffee shops have source water with high total dissolved solids (TDS) which means, without reverse osmosis (RO) filtration, inorganic and organic matter is also in their coffee and espresso drinks. TDS includes sulfates, chlorides, bicarbonates, organic matter, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. High TDS blocks the beans from processing and weakens the coffee flavor. Low TDS can lead to a bitter, oily cup.
4 Benefits of Reverse Osmosis Filtration
1. Better Coffee and Enhanced Coffee Flavor
Consistent water quality leads to better-tasting coffee. RO systems remove impurities like chlorine, heavy metals, and excess minerals, ensuring consistent water quality for every cup of coffee. By removing impurities and allowing for precise TDS control, RO systems help coffee shops achieve optimal coffee extraction and flavor profiles.
2. Fewer Machine Breakdowns and Longer Equipment Life
Reduced mineral buildup translates to fewer equipment issues and lower maintenance costs. RO systems prevent the damage hard water and limescale buildup cause to espresso machines, boilers, and group heads.
3. Customizable Water Profiles and Fine Tuning
Some RO systems allow for mineral addition and water blending, enabling coffee shops to fine-tune their water’s TDS levels to match their specific coffee beans and brewing methods. According to the Statistics & Standards Committee of the Specialty Coffee Association, 11.5 to 13.5 grams per liter TDS is the ideal level for a cup of coffee.
4. Improved Customer Satisfaction and Business Profits
A reverse osmosis water filtration system ensures less particulates are in your beverages which means better coffee and longer equipment life. RO (reverse osmosis) systems maintain consistent water quality, preventing equipment damage from mineral buildup. RO systems enhance coffee flavor by removing impurities and allowing precise control over total dissolved solids (TDS). The quality of your coffee and espresso has a direct affect on your coffee shop business profit.
