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 build-up inside the machine and to provide
filtered water in order to preserve the coffee aroma
and flavour in each cup. By using the series of 8 water
filters as indicated in this manual, you will not need to
descale the machine for the next 5000 cups (with
100-ml 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.
