Why Coffee Shops Should Use RO Water Filtration with TDS Blending
Water plays a crucial role in coffee brewing. Using a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filter with a TDS blending system ensures clean, pure water with the right mineral balance—bringing out the best flavors of coffee while protecting your espresso machine from limescale buildup.
RO Filtration System
- Filters down to 0.0001 micron
- Removes heavy metals, chlorine, and contaminants
- Produces clean, pure water suitable for coffee
Problem with Pure RO Water
- Very low TDS (almost no minerals)
- Coffee tastes flat and lacks character
TDS Blending
- Mixes RO water with filtered water (Resin Filter)
- Adjusts TDS to the optimal level (typically 75–150 ppm for coffee)
- Enhances flavor clarity and balance in coffee
Benefits for Cafés
- Consistent Flavor: True taste of coffee beans without interference
- Longer Machine Life: Reduces limescale buildup
- Safe & Clean: Nearly all contaminants removed
Key Considerations
- Tap Water Quality: Choose high-performance RO if water has many impurities
- System Size: 200–1,000 L/day for medium cafés
- Maintenance: Easy filter replacement and available spare parts
