Product information and additional options

Protect equipment, enhance your flavour, never forget

We are currently incrementally adding new coffee shops from the United Baristas community – please contact Support if you are interested and yet to be invited. The Smart Water Filter Service will open to all coffee companies later in 2025.

United Baristas automatically supplies replacement water filter cartridges, whenever you need one. Never forget a water filter change again and benefit from automatic optimisation of your local water for coffee-making.

The Water Filter service uses Brita IQ technology. The IQ filter head automatically adjusts the filter cartridge to optimise your local water for coffee-making as well as removing deposits to help prevent limescale build up. Within the last month of the cartridge’s working life, we’ll dispatch a replacement cartridge to site. Simply swap the cartridges over and return the spent cartridge for recycling.

Most specialty coffee shops filtering water for espresso require two to three cartridges each year. If you are not sure of your current requirement, pick the most likely option. Your subscription is automatically adjusted based on your water consumption, so you always benefit from the best value tier. For most coffee shops, the Water Filter service is cheaper than buying filters ad hoc, plus your business benefits from a simple, low monthly fee. Minimum 12 month contract.

Product
Description

Simply select your current water filter cartridge frequency. You subscription will automatically adjust based on your actual usage so you are always on the most cost effective tier.

Set up

  • Mainland United Kingdom physical addresses only
  • A ¾ water termination with stop valve is required, as is a standard UK 13 amp socket within one meter of the cartridge’s location
  • If you have foundational espresso machine skills you or are replacing your existing water filter head, you should be able to install the cartridge with set up assistance supplied over Zoom. Alternatively, opt at checkout for an engineer to install the filter.

Subscription

  • Payments are processed on the 1st of each month
  • Minimum 12 month subscription term required

Exchange

  • We’ll automatically dispatch a replacement filter cartridge within the last four weeks of your cartridge’s working life
  • When you receive it, swap out the cartridges and flush the new cartridge – it’ll automatically update to your current water conditions
  • Pop the spent cartridge back in the box and affix the return label to send the cartridge back to us for recycling
