We want to enable the best possible coffee enjoyment, regardless of your location and local water quality. Furthermore, the thoughtless use of plain tap water can lead to premature limescale build-up or even more serious damage to your portafilter machine. With this test kit, you can test your water quality quickly and easily. The result allows you to quickly determine whether a water filter is necessary and, if so, which one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do I do with the test result?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply send us a short email to \u003ca href=\"mailto:hallo@kaffeemacher.ch\" title=\"Our email\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(144, 169, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003ehallo@kaffeemacher.ch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e with the following information:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest result \u003c\/strong\u003e(carbonate hardness and total hardness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated annual water consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e or\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of cups of coffee you drink per day\u003c\/strong\u003e including the ml amount per cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe are happy to help you choose the right filter for your situation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xRH4W9Ti4EE\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brita","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39329457701021,"sku":"710403","price":12.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/3343\/4269\/files\/brita_testkit_zur_messung_der_wasserhaerte.1.webp?v=1753901332","url":"https:\/\/kiffeemacher.com\/en\/products\/brita-testkit-zum-test-der-wasserharte","provider":"kiffeemacher.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
