A free webinar on water quality, coffee science, and what's actually in your cup
Water makes up 98% of every cup of coffee. Its mineral content, pH, and filtration all shape what ends up in the cup. Most coffee professionals have never looked closely at why.
On July 1, IWCA Germany and BWT water+more are hosting a free live webinar for the global coffee community. Dr. Frank Neuhausen, General Manager of BWT water+more Deutschland GmbH, presents the science behind water quality in coffee: how it affects extraction and flavor, what it does to your equipment over time, and how to think about water as a serious variable in coffee quality.
Open to producers, roasters, retailers, café owners, and anyone who wants to understand their cup more deeply.
Date: Tuesday, July 1, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM CET
Cost: Free
Hosted by: IWCA Germany and BWT water+more
