Filtering Water

The quality of water you use directly affects the taste of your coffee. The better the water, the better the coffee. With 123 Spresso you can use household tap water or spring water. Never use carbonated

water.

We’ve included a “universal” Water Filter Holder. The Holder accepts commonly available cylinder-type filters, allowing you to use the brand of your personal preference.

To use the Filter Holder, place it on top of the empty water tank. It fits comfortably into the top of the tank. Add your filter. Always follow the filter manufacturer’s directions for use, especially when using a fresh filter.

When you have prepared the filter and placed it into the Holder on the Water Tank Lid, you may add water.

Again, follow the filter manufacturer’s directions. Make sure that water has actually flowed into the tank before you start brewing. Filter flow rates vary from brand to brand, so always check first.
