Determining quality

The variety type

Coffee beans are natural products that differ depending on the harvest and origin. That's why our blends ensure that each variety always offers the same, familiar taste quality. And we communicate this special characteristic on every pack with the product description.

Enjoyment factor

The water quality

The main components of drinking water are minerals. They are made up of the salt content, the carbonate hardness, the permanent hardness and the total hardness. Water hardness and pH value can vary greatly from region to region. Water hardness is determined by the content of calcium and magnesium ions (permanent hardness) and carbonate hardness (temporary hardness) and is measured in °d.

There are instructions on every pack. In addition to the coffee, the water quality is important for a perfect taste experience. Water that is too hard not only damages the machine, but also impairs the taste. Water with a pH value of 7.0 and a total hardness of approx. 4 - 8 °d is ideal for preparation.
