Spot the difference ? - probably not ...

Your tap water .....
The water authorities make drinking water available subject to stringent controls and compliance with high standards. But regardless of its origin, drinking water has individual properties such as a differing limescale content. The taste and odour of tap water is impaired by the chlorination process and by contact with organic matter during passage through many kilometres of underground pipes. (See also Why Filter Water). Water should fulfil special requirements for the preparation of different kinds of tea and coffee as well as food. After all, a cup of coffee or tea is around 98% water! Thanks to the BRITA filter cartridge you always have optimum freshly treated water on hand for both drinking and for beverage and food preparation, so you can savour delicious food and drink with full aroma, perfect taste and appetising appearance! |

Water hardness
Hard water and coffee or tea do not go together well. How hard your water is depends on the permanent hardness and carbonate hardness of the regional water. The carbonate hardness is also known as limescale. During brewing it impairs development of the fine flavours. It is also responsible for unattractive scum in your tea and causes unsightly limescale build-up in your kettle or coffee-maker that may reduce the life of the appliance. The Gift of good taste
