Yes, a bit. A little carbonate content is essential for coffee making (see recommendation of SCA: https://sca.coffee/research/coffee-standards/), so Fecoter contains carbonate. This can cause scaling in the coffee machine, but much less than tap water, as the Fecoter water if softer. In German degrees, it is < 8 °dH in the case of a automatic coffee machine, which can be programmed to use soft water. Look for the soft water setting and make the adjustment, so the machine can calculate the appropriate cleaning cycle and signal when descaling is necessary.

No, you don’t need to do anything special. It is recommended to descale your coffee machine before using Fecoter coffee water. In this case, use Fecoter coffee water for the rinsing process. If you don’t descale your coffee machine before using Fecoter coffee water, make sure that the water inside the coffee machine is properly replaced before brewing the first coffee.

If you use automatic coffee machine, empty the water container, fill it with Fecoter coffee water, then do 3-4 rinsing processes or make 3-4 coffee. This is needed because previously used water remains in the coffee machine, which needs to be replaced to Fecoter coffee water. The easiest method is to make 3-4 coffee.

Important! If you use a coffee machine with a larger water container, you need to rinse the coffee machine with as much Fecoter coffee water as the volume of the water tank, provided by the manufacturer (this is typical in the case of high performance, industrial coffee making machines).

The Fecoter coffee water does not contain any mineral that could cause the coffee machine to break down during usage as intended.

Yes, you can use Fecoter coffee water with any kind of coffee machine.

Fecoter coffee water should be stored in a dark, cold place before use. After opening, store it under 10 degrees Celsius, in a fridge, if possible. Fecoter coffee water does not contains preservatives, so you need to make sure that you store Fecoter coffee water properly.

Heating or boiling before use could lower the quality of Fecoter coffee water, so using it to make coffee will lower its quality. Do not boil Fecoter coffee water before use.

If the coffee machine only has floating matter filter, you don’t need to do anything. If there is a built-in ion exchanger, it can affect the salt content of Fecoter coffee water, which could lower the quality of the coffee. If you don’t know whether your coffee machine has a bulit-in ion exchanger, refer to the manufacturer of the coffee machine. If the coffee machine has a bulit-ion exchange resin filter, remove it before using Fecoter coffee water. If the resin filter cannot be removed, you need to empty the resin from the holder and put the empty holder back before using Fecoter coffee water. Fecoter coffee water does not contain floating material, has low salt content and is ideal for making coffee.

NO! Fecoter coffee water has low salt content, so it is too low on electrolytes to be used as drinking water, just like ion-exchanged water. Consuming overpurified water is not recommended, as it could upset the electrolyte balance of the body and salt supplementation might be needed.

If the consumed amount of coffee water does not exceeds half a liter, you don’t need to do anything. If it exceeds half a liter, inform your doctor that you have drunk water with low electrolyte content.

You can use Fecoter coffee water to water plants, but do not give it to animals beacuse its low electrolyte content.
