VIOLO water filter for KRUPS coffee machines

Introduction to the VIOLO water filter

A good cup of fresh coffee starts with one simple ingredient: clean water. The VIOLO water filter for KRUPS coffee machines ensures that the water flowing through your machine is fresh, soft and free of unwanted substances. The result? Better coffee, a cleaner machine and a longer life of your appliance.

This article dives deep into the benefits, features and compatibility of the VIOLO filter and helps you understand exactly why this filter is a smart choice for your KRUPS coffee machine.

Why a water filter is indispensable for your KRUPS coffee machine

Protection against limescale

Lime scale is the biggest enemy of any coffee machine. It clogs pipes, affects taste and shortens the life of the machine. The VIOLO filter prevents limescale by reducing hardness-causing minerals.

Enhanced coffee taste and aroma

Unfiltered water can contain flavours that completely ruin your delicious coffee. Think chlorine, metals or other contaminants. With a VIOLO filter, you will enjoy a richer aroma, stable crema and a fuller taste.

Efficient functioning of your coffee machine

A machine operating with clean water runs more smoothly. Fewer blockages, less wear and tear, fewer breakdowns - in other words, lower maintenance costs in the long run.

What does the VIOLO water filter for Krups remove from water?

The filter is designed to remove various harmful and taste-destroying substances:

Chlorine

It removes the sharp taste and smell of chlorine, instantly making your coffee softer and more enjoyable.

Heavy metals

Think lead or copper - substances you definitely don't want in your coffee. The filter effectively stops these.

Pesticides

Perfect for areas with higher levels of agricultural residues in drinking water.

Lime scale

By removing magnesium and calcium ions, the filter prevents limescale build-up in the machine.

Filter composition of the VIOLO filter for Krups

Activated carbon

This element absorbs pesticides, herbicides, chlorine and even detergent residues. The result is purified water that tastes much better.

Ion exchange resin

This resin reduces water hardness by removing excess minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Less hard water = less limescale.

Advantages of using a VIOLO water filter

Better coffee taste

The combination of activated carbon and resin creates wonderfully soft water that brings out the full flavour of your coffee.

Longer life of your KRUPS machine

As less limescale forms, your machine will last significantly longer and you are less likely to experience breakdowns.

Softer and fresher water

Filtered water not only tastes better, it is also better for your health and for your machine.

Less maintenance

Less limescale means you need to descale your coffee machine less often - a big advantage for those looking for convenience.

Shelf life and replacement interval

How often should you change the filter?

A VIOLO water filter lasts on average approximately 2 months along. Of course, this depends on your coffee consumption.

How does your coffee consumption affect longevity?

The more often you brew coffee, the faster the filter reaches its capacity. Do you drink several cups daily? Then a monthly replacement is sometimes wiser.

Installation instructions of the VIOLO water filter
