Brita Purity C Quell ST against scale
Scale is the most common cause of coffee machine breakdowns. Purity C Quell ST reduces carbonate hardness in the water so limescale cannot build up in boilers, pipes and valves, which means fewer repairs and steadier performance.
Choose your size
Pick the size to match your machine and volume: C50 for small machines, C150 and C300 for most cafés and offices, and C500 for high-volume venues. Brita recommends Quell ST for espresso machines with copper boilers, and it suits combi steamers and vending machines too.
Which Brita filter do I need?
Every Brita Purity C cartridge clicks into a Brita Purity C filter head. Buy the head once; it stays on your water line and you only replace the cartridge. Then pick the cartridge by your machine’s boiler and your water:
| Cartridge | Best for | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Purity C50 Fresh | Soft water, like most of Melbourne. Small espresso machines, office bean-to-cup and vending machines. | Removes fine particles and anything that spoils taste or smell. Does not soften water. |
| Purity C Quell ST | Espresso machines with copper boilers (most traditional café machines), plus combi ovens and vending. | Reduces carbonate hardness to stop limescale, and filters taste and particles. |
| Purity C Finest | Espresso machines with stainless steel boilers, and harder water. | Reduces total hardness (limescale and gypsum) and chlorine for the best crema and taste. |
Which size?
- C50: home machines and small office machines.
- C150: 1 group espresso machines and office bean-to-cup machines.
- C300: 2 group café machines (our most common choice).
- C500: 3 group machines and busy cafés.
A bigger cartridge filters more water before it needs changing, so it lasts longer between swaps. Brita recommends replacing the cartridge at least every 12 months, or sooner in busy cafés. Not sure which boiler your machine has? Call us on 1300 529 505 with the make and model and we’ll tell you.
