The BRITA AquaGusto is a universal water filter that sits loose in the water tank of a coffee or espresso machine. There is no head to fit, no hose and no adapter to buy: drop it in, leave it in the filled tank overnight, and it goes to work on the limescale that hard water leaves behind. An automatic replacement indicator on the filter tells you when it is time for a new one.

Details

A filter that simply drops in

Most water filters want you to fit a head, run a hose or find the cartridge that matches your machine. The AquaGusto does none of that. It is a universal water filter shaped to lie in the tank itself, so it works in any standard reservoir without an adapter and without mounting anything. Fill the tank, drop the filter in and leave it overnight before the first brew; after that you top the tank up as you always did.

What it takes out

Hard water carries dissolved carbonate hardness, and in a coffee machine that ends up as limescale on the heating element and in the water lines. Reducing that build-up is what the AquaGusto is there for. The filter carries an automatic replacement indicator, so you are not left guessing how long it has been in there.

Choosing 100 or 250

The number is the litre rating at 10°dH carbonate hardness: the AquaGusto 100 is rated for 100 litres, the AquaGusto 250 for 250 litres. Whichever you pick, six months in the tank is the other limit — replace at the litre rating or at six months, whichever comes first. Harder water uses a filter up faster, so a machine in a busy office or kitchen is better off on the 250.

FAQ

Customer Questions

Does the BRITA AquaGusto fit in my coffee machine, and do I need an adapter or installation?

The BRITA AquaGusto is designed for all coffee machines with a water reservoir. You do not need to use an adapter or carry out any special installation. Simply place the filter loosely in the water reservoir and it will do its job automatically.

How do I know when the filter needs to be replaced?

The BRITA AquaGusto comes with a convenient replacement indicator. You stick this onto your coffee machine and press the button when installing the new filter. This way, you always have a clear view of when it is time to replace the filter (after 6 months or after the specified capacity, whichever comes first).

What is the effect of the AquaGusto on the taste and water quality of my coffee?

The AquaGusto reduces limescale in the water, thereby improving the taste, aroma, and appearance of your coffee.

What is the difference between the AquaGusto 100 and 250 variants, and which one should I choose?

The difference lies in the capacity: the 100 version filters up to 100 litres of water (800 cups, 6 kg of coffee) and the 250 version up to 250 litres (2,000 cups, 15 kg of coffee). Both last for a maximum of 6 months. If your machine has a smaller water reservoir (such as the Dedica 685), we recommend the 100 version, as the 250 can sometimes partly stick out of the water, which is less hygienic. For larger machines, the 250 version is suitable.

Do I need to prepare the filter or can I place it directly in the water reservoir?

The filter does not require any special preparation. Simply place the BRITA AquaGusto in the water reservoir, preferably in the evening to allow it to start working. It will then automatically do its job while you use your coffee machine.

What are the dimensions of the BRITA AquaGusto 100L?

The BRITA AquaGusto 100 is roughly 85.1 mm wide and 25.8 mm deep. The larger 250 measures about 115.5 x 32.9 mm. Handy to know if your water tank is small: the 100 version fits many compact reservoirs where the 250 will not go. The filter needs no adapter and no mounting. You simply drop it into the bottom of the reservoir and it does the rest by itself. Not sure whether it fits your machine? Measure the narrowest side of your water tank, or send us the brand and model. Our customer service will be happy to check for you.
