Philips / Saeco Brita Intenza+ Waterfilter CA6702/10

Original Brita quality - made in Germany for over 25 years:

• reduces limescale, chlorine, PFAS, microplastics and heavy metals 
• protects your coffee machine and keeps it energy efficient
• improves the taste of your coffee 
• can be used immediately without soaking the filter

Knock-off compatible filters sold online often boast TUV certification but never share the reports about how well their filters actualy work. The certificate just indicates they do remove limescale. So will you risk that or choose orignal Brita quality?

The Intenza water filter should be replaced after 50 liters or after two months of use. 

The activated carbon reduces substances that alter the taste and smell of the water (organic compounds, chlorine, etc.), while a special macroporous filter included in the cartridge ensures optimal filtration by retaining micro-particles in the water.

The different settings of the filter:

• Soft: water level A - 50 liter (300 cups)
• Medium: water level B - 40 liter (250 cups)
• Hard: water level C - 30 liter (200 cups)

Instructions

1. ​Remove the water reservoir, dispose of the existing water, and check if the reservoir is clean.

2. ​Set the 'Aroma System' to 'A', 'B', or 'C' to adjust the proper filtration of the water.

3. ​Hold the filter under water in a container for a few seconds. This ensures that the filter fills with water and the air bubbles disappear.

4. ​Place the filter in the reservoir. Press it down to the bottom while making a slight twisting motion.

5. ​Fill the water reservoir with fresh drinking water and place it back in the machine.

6. ​Let a few cups of water run through the steam nozzle before using the machine again.

If your water hardness is higher than ± 7 °dH, a water filter is highly recommended. Using a water filter reduces the risk of limescale damaging your machine and also improves the taste of your coffee.

Are you used to buy dark roast beans for your machine?

Try the WB.coffee CN - Chocolatey & Nutty blend. You will taste strong flavours but without the bitterness. The CN blend is sweet by itself, so no need to add sugar. CN blend also tastes great with (plant) milk.

Water filters just filter the water. To keep your machine in good condition and free from bacteria you should:

1. ​Descale the machine regularly. You can use descaling powder or liquid descaler. (at least twice per year)

2. ​Remove coffee oils from your machine with cleaning tablets. (at least every month)

3. ​Clean the grinding chamber and burrs with special grinder cleaning tablets. (at least every month)

4. ​Clean the milk system. This is the most important as milk bacteria are the most dangerous. (at least every week - daily flushing with hot water). 

For milk cleaning you need a special cleaner that works with the proteins. Regular cleaners, such as dishwasher liquid remove oils and dirt but don't work with proteins that have been heated by your frother. 

Coffee oils dry out and become rancid, yes that does make your coffee taste gross. Dried coffee oils put a strain on the motor of the grinder and pump. An overheated motor is less energy efficient and will eventually break down. 

To clean the rancid dried oils from the grinder burrs and grinding chamber use grinder cleaning tablets. 

To clean the rancid dried oils from the brewing chamber use coffee oil cleaner.

Recommended cleaning based on daily usage. For prolonged non-usage keep your machine dry. empty out all the water and coffee. For heavy use and when using oily dark roast beans (not recommended) more fequent cleaning is recommended. 

Always check the user manual of your machine for further instructions.

Tip: empty out the coffee grounds and drip tray every day as heat and moisture are a breading ground for moulds. Potentially dangerous, but also awfull for the taste of your coffee. 

PS. coffee machines in offices are often full automatic machines. If they give you acid cramps in the stomach or even toilet runs that's not just the low grade dark roast beans, but probably also rancid oils, moulds and maybe even milk pathogens.

more tips from the CoffeeNose👃

Avoid dark roast coffee for your taste buds and health.

This is not just a matter of taste. Do you enjoy that black, burnt charcoaled onion, french frie or patato chips? No? So why would you buy coffee that is burnt? All the flavor is gone. You just extract a dark, dark, smoky, bitter beverage. 

Not just a matter of taste. Dark roast beans will make your grinder and coffee machine very dirty and oily. This will put strain on the motor and will cause damage and failure if not cleaned regularly. 

Dark roast coffee is unhealthy. The Acrylamide levels of dark roast coffee are way higher than necessary. Most people also add milk and sugar to their dark roast coffee to make the bitter flavor somewhat palatable. Milk and sugar makes your coffee very caloric and a beverage that develops diabetis

Coffee in itself is a healhty beverage so making it unhealhty is a shame. Read more from the CoffeeNose👃about acrylamide, coffee and health here. 

Then why is dark roast so popular? Dark roast coffee extracts more easily. That means that for 1 coffee you need less beans. That means lower cost and higher profits. Also Charbucks has pioneered the sales of milky and sugary beverages. You need a realy strong flavor to still taste it if you add loads of milk. Dark, smokey, bitter flavor is doing a good job in that perspective. The bitterness allows for more sugar to be added to balance the flavor. 

On the roasting side dark roasts will cover off flavors from unripe (sour) coffee beans and coffee beans that are mouldy.

Myth: dark roast is not stronger nor does it have more caffeine. The stenght of a coffee is just like alcohol % a the % of a beverage that is extracted coffee (the rest is water). 

The stronger coffee is the thick and creamy espresso and the strongest is the ristretto (the first 2/3 of the espresso shot). It depends on how many beans and much water you use. If you pour that strong espresso over water you get an americano. The americano is a less strong beverage, but the caffeine is the same. 

Caffeine is a little double, because often dark roast blends contain a % of robusta beans besides the arabica beans. Robusta beans have more caffeine that arabica, hence the higher caffeine content. The higher caffeine doesn't come from the dark roast itself, but from the beans used to roast. 

Try the WB.coffee CN - Chocolatey & Nutty blend. You will taste strong flavours but without the bitterness. The CN blend is sweet by itself, so no need to add sugar. CN blend also tastes great with (plant) milk.

Clean equipment isn’t just about aesthetics or catering to coffee purists. It has far-reaching implications for health, taste, and business operations.

Studies have shown that neglected coffee equipment can harbour harmful bacteria and moulds, especially in components exposed to milk or moisture. 

Milk frothers, for instance, can become breeding grounds for pathogens if not properly cleaned. Coffee shops that overlook cleaning risk failing health inspections or, worse, endangering customer health. Use a professional milk cleaner such as Cafetto MFC Organic Milk cleaning powder.
