Water filter

Water is a key element for a good espresso coffee.
Therefore, it should always be filtered in a professional
manner. The water filter is designed to reduce limescale
deposits inside the coffee machine and supply filtered
water to preserve the aroma and taste of each cup of
coffee. If the 8 water filter kit is used as indicated in this
user manual, it will not be necessary to perform machine
descaling for 5000 cups (with a 100 ml / 3.4 oz capacity).
This filter is easy to use and its sophisticated technology is
effective in preventing limescale build-up. This way, water
will always be perfect and will give a much more intense
aroma to your espresso coffee.
