Water plays a crucial role in coffee extraction, and the IX Café is designed to deliver a balanced composition that enhances flavour and aroma. By reducing unwanted elements and allowing controlled mineral adjustment, it helps create a more consistent and reliable brewing environment, supporting better results across all coffee styles.

Advanced 5-Stage Filtration and Flexible Installation

The IX Cafe offers a comprehensive 5-stage filtration process, which includes pre-filtration, silver-activated carbon, sediment reduction, media-specific water treatment, and fine filtration. For optimal soft water delivery, the IX Head should be set to a bypass level of 0 when paired with the iX Taste Filter, ensuring no hard water is reintroduced into the supply. Designed for installation convenience, this unit can be installed in either a vertical or horizontal position without any compromise on performance
