Third Wave Water Espresso Machine Profile 2 L

Espresso is unforgiving—both in flavor and in equipment demands. Tap water often contains high levels of chlorides and scale-forming minerals that corrode boilers, clog internal components, and distort taste. The result is uneven extraction, bitter shots, and costly repairs. The Espresso Machine Profile solves these problems at their source by giving your machine the water it was designed to work with.

This profile blends magnesium, calcium, and potassium in a controlled ratio that enhances extraction while eliminating the corrosive elements that damage espresso boilers. When added to purified water such as ZeroWater, distilled, or RO, it creates a stable mineral environment that protects equipment and improves flavor. Expect richer crema, smoother acidity, and a more balanced sweetness in every shot.

The formulation aligns with Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) water standards and is used by professionals who rely on consistent water chemistry for both cupping and machine longevity. Each batch is measured and tested for accuracy, ensuring predictable performance no matter where you brew.

Using the profile is simple: add one stick to the correct water volume—1 gallon, 5 gallons, or 2 liters—shake thoroughly, and brew as normal. There are no complicated tools or measurements required. Just clean, calibrated water that protects your espresso machine and elevates flavor.

For home users, it means fewer repairs and better-tasting coffee. For cafés, it supports consistent quality and longer equipment life. For anyone passionate about espresso, it delivers a more reliable, enjoyable brewing experience.
