6.5 Water filter
You can use a water filter to minimize
limescale deposits and reduce
impurities in the water.
The limescale content of the water
influences the aroma and crema of
coffee. There is an aroma ring on the
underside of the BRITA INTENZA
water filter. Turn the aroma ring to set
the optimum aroma level for your
