On July 1, BWT water+more and IWCA Germany hosted a webinar that brought together coffee professionals from across multiple continents — producers, baristas, roasters, and retailers — for a guided chemistry session designed not to overwhelm, but to equip.

Dr. Frank Neuhausen (Managing Director, BWT water+more) and Ben Helt (Technical Training Director) walked through what's actually in your water, how it affects flavor and extraction, and how to start having smarter conversations with your suppliers and equipment providers. The session covered total hardness, carbonate hardness, and alkalinity using a hands-on handout designed as a study guide for future learning.

This was the first webinar organized by IWCA Germany, hosted in partnership with BWT water+more, a valued member of the chapter.
