Understanding the Importance of Changing Your Water Filter

A clean water filter is crucial for brewing delicious coffee. Over time, it can accumulate impurities, minerals, and other contaminants that can affect the taste and quality of your coffee. It can also lead to limescale buildup in your coffee maker, which can damage the machine.

Inside the water tank, you’ll find the old water filter. Grasp it firmly and pull it straight down to remove it.
