Speciality Coffee Shop, Riyadh
Water engineered for espresso: a compact multi-stage system that protects the machines and keeps every cup consistent, at up to 750 litres per hour.
Project overview
This speciality coffee shop in Riyadh is focused on delivering high-quality coffee. Consistent water quality was critical, both to protect the espresso equipment and to hold the flavour standard across every drink on the menu.
Key challenges
- Poor taste and odour in the incoming water affecting coffee flavour
- High hardness and mineral content causing scale build-up
- Frequent equipment maintenance driven by limescale
- A compact footprint suitable for a coffee-focused operation
Solution implemented
- Sediment filtration for particle removal
- Activated carbon for chlorine, taste and odour control
- Water softening to reduce scale-forming minerals
- Reverse osmosis for controlled mineral and TDS reduction
- System capacity of 500 to 750 litres per hour
The outcome
Stable extraction and a consistent flavour profile across the menu, espresso machines protected from scale, and far fewer descaling interventions, exactly what a speciality operation needs from its water.
