Water Quality Handbook 2018 - SCA
The SCA Water Quality Handbook has been revised to provide a comprehensive framework for measuring, aiming, and treating water for coffee. The handbook focuses on two core parameters - alkalinity and total hardness - and explores the suitability of various water treatments. A crucial element of this discussion is the importance of total hardness in the proper extraction of coffee. The handbook draws on recent research and experiments conducted by the Coffee Excellence Center at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) to promote a lively exchange of ideas within the specialty coffee community. The updated practical guide and Glossary of terms provide a toolbox of concepts and methods to help improve coffee in both domestic and commercial environments.
