BENEFITS HOW IT WORKS PRODUCTS CONTACT US! BWT MAGNE­SIUM TECH­NOLOGY A revo­lu­tion in water opti­mi­sa­tion It is now well under­stood that the chem­ical char­ac­ter­is­tics of brewing water do have an effect on the final coffee cupping expe­ri­ence. The team of researchers under the direc­tion of Prof. Chahan Yeret­zian applied a stan­dard­ised process to inves­ti­gate what influ­ence the ratio of alkaline-earth ions calcium (Ca2+) and magne­sium (Mg2+) in water has on the sensory prop­er­ties of coffee. A statis­ti­cally reli­able flavour analysis (cupping panel) revealed a surpris­ingly clear picture: By shifting the mineral ratio in the water towards more magne­sium (Mg2+), two impor­tant taste para­me­ters change in the flavour para­me­ters of the coffee extract: bitter­ness and astrin­gency are decreased signif­i­cantly. Brews made from water with a high calcium content taste bitter and astrin­gent. Coffee brewed from water with a high magne­sium content convinced the testers. The scien­tists' find­ings are highly consis­tent with the expe­ri­ence gained in prac­tice by inter­na­tional baristas: magnesium-rich water ensures that balanced, full taste expe­ri­ence in coffee which roasters strive for in each of their different coffees. Less calcium, more magne­sium in the water: the brew becomes less bitter and astrin­gent Studies Marco Wellinger, Charting Water for Better Coffee.
