Many of you may be familiar with Brita water filters and pitchers, but our favorite is BWT’s Penguin which is a 2.7 L water pitcher that uses their patented Magnesium Mineralizing Cartridges to filter water and introduce magnesium for a near-neutral pH balance. The cartridges use a combination of fine mesh screens as well as activated carbon which exchanges scale causing calcium, copper, and lead for magnesium.
Chlorine is also nabbed to prevent it from affecting the taste (or smell) of your water. For seasoned barista or newbies who use methods like pour-over or French press, having a pitcher full of filtered water means you can enjoy the best tasting coffee no matter how you choose to brew.
