The reason for this is due to the hardness or softness of the water across the country. Water quality can also be affected by seasonal fluctuations and mineral deposits which change the flavour and intensity of the Coffee, Which is why for years we believed and offered the best in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.so-purecoffee.co.uk\/ethos\/water-technology\">water filtration and\u00a0<\/a>technology and always use and suggest\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brita.co.uk\/\">BRITA<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As highlighted by\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brita.co.uk\/\">BRITA<\/a><\/strong>, the hot beverages sector is rapidly changing. Interest in Coffee has increased significantly, and over half of consumers say the taste of Coffee would make them choose to visit one caf\u00e9 over another. Consumers have not just taken an interest in Coffee over the past few years; they are also more educated on the quality and expectation of the perfect brew. With these consumer changes flowing down into workplace and office Coffee the effect for that perfect Coffee break matters.<\/p>\n<p>So as the UK high-street has seen a 48% rise in the number of cafes, it\u2019s ever-more important to stand out in this competitive Coffee market. With a simple change to the water used in your So Pure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.so-purecoffee.co.uk\/noir-collection\/espresso\">office bean to cup<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.so-purecoffee.co.uk\/viva-collection\/instant\">instant Coffee machine<\/a> to that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.so-purecoffee.co.uk\/professional-collection\/grando\">barista Coffee machine<\/a>, you will ensure delivery of a delicious cup of\u2019 Joe every time and create an even more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.so-purecoffee.co.uk\/essentials\">creamy smooth hot chocolate<\/a> moment.<\/p>\n<p>To understand the ways water can affect Coffee taste, take a look at some of the main factors below:<\/p>\n<h1><strong><span style=\"color: #9f8a68;\">Tap Vs Filtered Water<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>It will come as no surprise that water from the tap tastes different from filtered water. As mentioned above, tap water has a number of minerals, which affect the flavour. Seasonal and regional factors are the main causes of the difference, and depending on the compounds found locally, you might experience different tastes from the same batch of beans. Alternatively, filtered water removes these impurities and offers a clean taste to every cup. Which is one reason we choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.so-purecoffee.co.uk\/professional-collection\/\">100% stainless steel Barista Coffee machines<\/a> the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.so-purecoffee.co.uk\/professional-collection\/evolution\">Evolution<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.so-purecoffee.co.uk\/professional-collection\/eva\">Eva<\/a> offer clean water diffusion and zero migration before a filtered system applied.<\/p>\n<h1><strong><span style=\"color: #9f8a68;\">Understanding Hard And Soft Water Areas<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Water makes up 98% of Coffee so it\u2019s vital to determine how the hardness of the water in your area may affect your consumer\u2019s experience. This <em>UK Water Map by BRITA<\/em> displays the type of minerals in different locations that will change the taste. Mineral compounds vary greatly across the country. For example, Edinburgh has minimal chalk content in the soil, so the water is very soft. Whereas Dover has a hard water rating due to the local underground chalk and gravel aquifers.

If the water is not hot enough, it won\u2019t extract the flavour fully. However, if it\u2019s boiled too high, it\u2019ll burn the Coffee producing a bitter, metallic taste. The optimum level sits around 91 to 96 degrees Celsius.

This not only affects the taste of each cup, but it could also create costly maintenance, repair charges or potential downtime. While buying a cheaper Coffee machine might seem a cost-effective route, but the build-up of scale, limescale deposits and hard water are the doom of any low quality internal plastic parts or Thermoblocks with Coffee machines<br \/>\nWhich is why So Pure only uses <strong>stainless steel inserts within our Thermoblocks<\/strong>, creating healthy, cleaner water and long-lasting components.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to water and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.so-purecoffee.co.uk\/ethos\/water-technology\">water technology<\/a> opting for filtered water protects the machine from limescale deposits and improves the aroma and taste of the Coffee.<\/p>\n<h1><strong><span style=\"color: #9f8a68;\">Innovative Barista Technology To Create The Perfect Cup<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>The quality of your Coffee machine is critical for producing a unique consumer experience.
