Every single morning before arriving to work, Amy stops by her local Starbucks and orders her usual venti latte. They know her there by name and are happy to send her on her way with her triple espresso shot drink. Amy said that her morning espresso kick starts her day and without it, well, you would probably find her half asleep at her desk, struggling to focus on her work. 
Did you also know that Espresso is 90% water! It is a key essential ingredient in espresso preparation. So having a water filtration system becomes a must, especially in areas with hard water. Not having filtered water will affect the taste of your espresso as well as the lifespan of your equipment. So what is the best water filtration system for your espresso machine? Well, here’s a couple options to consider: The Claris System 
5-Stage Filtration Process
- Pre-filtration
- Carbonate hardness adjustment
- Fine filtration
- Highly efficient carbon block removes harmful contaminant and unpleasant odors and tastes
- Solid membrane filter removes particles down to 5 micron for highest equipment protection
- Operates in vertical or horizontal position
- Utilizes ion exchange resin with buffering capabilities and high capacity coconut carbon filtration.
- A small amount of carbon filtered water bypasses softening resin to allow proper initial hardness.
- Buffering prevents water from becoming too acidic.
- It also reduces hardness in water that can cause minerals to build-up in espresso equipment.
- It also reduces chlorine, off tastes and odors. Cartridge replacement is simple, quick and clean.
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) cartridges effectively reduce unwanted tastes, odor and chlorine taste & odor from your drinking water. They are designed to allow maximum contact between the water and carbon, ensuring maximum adsorption. The cartridges pictured to the left are the 
Carbon block cartridges are manufactured using a patented process that yields a cartridge with a nominal 5-micron filtration rating, high dirt-holding capacity. A high porosity design helps prevent the cartridge from plugging before its adsorption capacity is exhausted, maximizing the utilization of the carbon while maintaining low pressure drop.

Coconut based carbon block cartridges are highly effective at reducing unwanted taste & odor and chlorine taste & odor from potable drinking water, and they are equally effective at reducing fine sediment. Coconut based carbon block cartridges are manufactured using a patented process and are made from a water-washed, coconut-carbon formulation. This process and media yield a cartridge with high chlorine taste & odor reduction capacity. The cartridges pictured to the left are Pentek’s 
This Christmas, give your family the gift of healthier water that makes for a healthier planet and a healthier you! No chemical leaching and safe from bacterial growth & contaminants. The gift of better tasting water, coffee, tea, soups, and sauces can be enjoyed by all. Your very own Reverse Osmosis System generates high quality water, free of bad tastes, chlorine, odors and contaminants right out of your kitchen faucet.
From our work family to yours, Happy Halloween!!
