It's almost always the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater makes up more than ninety percent of an espresso. It's not just a carrier; it's the solvent that decides what comes out of the ground coffee in the first place. Minerals in the water bind aroma compounds and carry them into the cup; too few of them and the espresso tastes thin and empty, too many and it turns flat. A mineral content of 50 to 100 milligrams per litre is considered the ideal range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese two filters work on the principle of sodium-based cation exchange. They bind calcium and magnesium salts from the water and release sodium salts in return. This lowers the carbonate hardness that would otherwise build up as limescale on the heating element, thermoblock and group head – and at the same time changes how the water extracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach filter is designed for 70 litres and goes into the water tank. Two are included, so you have a replacement in reserve right away. And because water varies greatly from region to region: a softener changes the composition, it doesn't replace a water analysis. If you want to know exactly what comes out of your tap, measure it. Our opinion is one of many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIn the box\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 filters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCapacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 l per filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOperating principle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSodium-based cation exchange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFunction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBinds calcium and magnesium salts, releases sodium salts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater tank\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePLA930M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLelit, Italy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's made for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone with a Lelit tank machine in an area with hard water – in large parts of Switzerland, that's the norm.
