BRITA PURITY C iQ – Smart filter head for espresso machines
Water makes up most of your espresso. The BRITA PURITY C iQ measures the raw water with sensor technology and sets the blend ratio for the cartridge automatically. You do not have to set the blend yourself.
The connection runs over narrowband LTE. According to BRITA the data plan is included; no Wi-Fi and no separate subscription are needed. You see consumption and filter change dates in the BRITA iQ Portal. Alternatively, you read out the filter head with the PURITY C iQ Connect App for Windows via USB.
The filter head is supplied without a cartridge, with antenna, USB cable and power supply. It is the online version with a G 3/8" connection.

Who it is for
For espresso machines with a fixed water connection, in a café, an office or at home. The filter head sits in the water line before the machine. It is not intended for machines that draw only from a water tank. Matching cartridges are in the BRITA collection, machines with a fixed water connection under coffee machines.
For espresso we consider a water hardness of 50–100 mg/l a good range. How to compose your own water is explained in Composing your own coffee water. Which machine suits your water and your routine, our advice tool helps you narrow down. Questions about cartridge size: email [email protected].

Tip from the roastery: With consistent water you dial in a bean once and it stays that way. For most cups we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, round and chocolatey. For maximum body there is Very Nutty. That is our recommendation, one of many.
