For almost 40 years BRITA has been involved in the optimization of water & has devoted itself to the future of this essential resource. See the difference for yourself! An aromatic cup of your favourite tea or coffee is an experience for all the senses. But for perfect enjoyment it is not just the quality of the initial products that play a key role. Only when you use the right water will your hot drinks or food become a true delight. This is where the BRITA filter cartridge comes in. You will see, smell & taste the difference! No water is like another The water supply companies make drinking water available as a basic foodstuff. It is subject to stringent controls & complies with high standards. But regardless of its origin, drinking water has individual properties such as a differing limescale content. Boiled water should fulfil special requirements for the preparation of different kinds of tea & coffee as well as food. After all, a cup of coffee or tea is around 98% water! Thanks to the BRITA filter cartridge you always have optimum freshly treated water on hand for boiling. & you can savour delicious food & drink with a full aroma, perfect taste & appetising appearance! Why filtered water? Hard water & coffee or tea do not go together well. How hard your water is (overall hardness) depends on the permanent hardness & carbonate hardness of the regional water. The carbonate hardness is also known as limescale. During brewing it impairs development of the fine flavours. It is also responsible for unattractive scum in your tea. & another thing: limescale builds up in your kettle as unsightly & annoying deposits.
