The Importance of Magnesium in Water for Coffee

When it comes to brewing the perfect cup of coffee, the quality of water used is often overlooked. However, water is a crucial component, making up about 98% of your coffee. One of the key elements that can significantly enhance both the taste and health benefits of your coffee is magnesium. Here’s why magnesium-enriched water is essential for coffee enthusiasts.

Magnesium plays a pivotal role in improving the flavour profile of coffee. It acts as a natural flavour enhancer, bringing out the subtle notes and complexities of the coffee beans. Unlike calcium, which can sometimes dull the flavours, magnesium helps to highlight the bright, acidic, and fruity notes, providing a more balanced and enjoyable cup of coffee.

The presence of magnesium in water can improve the extraction process during brewing. Magnesium ions interact with the coffee grounds, aiding in the extraction of desirable compounds such as oils and acids. This results in a richer, fuller-bodied coffee with enhanced aroma and flavour. Proper extraction is crucial for achieving the perfect balance of bitterness, sweetness, and acidity in your coffee.

Our Experience

We used this jug for a while to determine its effects. Firstly it works best on standard tap water (we tested it on Cape Town water), in fact, we found using it with filtered water created coffee that was too sweet.

• For coffees that have fruity and floral tasting notes, we found the fruit and the floral notes were more highlighted.
• While coffees that are cocoa and nutty had more umami with the magnesium jug.
