Over 98% of your espresso consists of water – and that's precisely where the Brita AquaAroma Crema filter cartridge comes in. Specially developed for portafilter machines with an integrated water tank, it filters out unwanted substances directly during brewing and transforms your tap water into the perfect base for extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Why Brita Professional – and why at the Coffee Coaching Club?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Brita's experience in water filtration dates back to 1966. The AquaAroma Crema is not a consumer cartridge from the supermarket, but a professional product tested for food safety by independent institutes and specifically developed for the requirements of espresso machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What the AquaAroma Crema can technically achieve\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The cartridge uses selective decarbonization. This means that carbonate hardness (calcium and magnesium carbonate) is specifically reduced, while taste-relevant minerals remain in the water. Additionally, chlorine residues as well as coarse and fine particles are filtered out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The integrated \u003cstrong\u003earoma ring\u003c\/strong\u003e allows for a three-stage bypass setting (stages A, B, C) to adjust the filtration level to your local water hardness. A test strip for determining water hardness is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The unique feature: Filtration takes place immediately during brewing. The water is drawn directly through the cartridge by your machine's pump – no pre-filtering, no waiting, no stagnant water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 80 – 220 liters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Cups (35 ml espresso)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 2,300 – 6,300\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Dimensions (W × H × D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 42.8 × 106.9 × 60.8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Water temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 4 – 30 °C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Bypass stages\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e A \/ B \/ C (Aroma Ring)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Compatible with\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Arkel Coast \u0026amp; Tide, ECM, Profitec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Compact size and tool-free installation allow for replacement in seconds.

A high carbonate content buffers the natural fruit acids in coffee; they are neutralized by excess bicarbonate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e AquaAroma Crema removes precisely these impurities without making the water too soft.
