Profine Perfetto – Limescale protection for coffee machines with water tanks
Profine Perfetto is a water treatment system for coffee machines with a tank. The filter pad uses ion-exchange resin to reduce water hardness minerals that can cause limescale deposits when heated.
It is very easy to use: simply place the pad directly into the water tank; no electricity or additional connections are required. Profine Perfetto is suitable for, among others, portafilter, E.S.E. pod, capsule, and filter coffee machines with a tank.
For larger water tanks over approximately 3 liters or applications with a higher tank volume.
How does Profine Perfetto work?
Perfetto contains ion-exchange resin. This reduces water hardness by exchanging the ions in the water responsible for limescale formation. Think:Water explicitly describes Perfetto as a limescale protection solution for coffee machines and as a system designed to improve water quality for coffee.
Which coffee machines is it for?
Profine Perfetto is intended for machines with a water tank. This includes many portafilters, E.S.E. pod machines, capsule machines, and filter coffee machines.
Use in the water tank
Wet the filter pad completely, place it flat in the clean tank, and fill the tank with fresh water. During use, Perfetto should remain fully submerged if possible.
Service life & water hardness
The actual service life depends on the water hardness and water consumption. The harder the water, the faster the available ion-exchange capacity will be depleted. Therefore, local water hardness should be taken into account when determining the replacement interval.
Profine / Think:Water from Veneto
Profine is part of the water filter range from Think:Water, based in Cittadella in the province of Padua, Veneto, Italy. Perfetto is specifically designed for use with coffee and coffee machines.
What is the difference between Small, Medium, and Large?
The variants differ primarily in their intended use according to tank size: Small for smaller tanks up to about 2 l, Medium up to about 3 l, and Large for larger water tanks.
Does Profine Perfetto remove existing limescale?
No. Perfetto is used for limescale prevention. Existing deposits must be removed separately according to the machine manufacturer's instructions.
Does Profine Perfetto require a connection?
No. The filter pad is placed directly into the water tank.
Can Perfetto affect the taste of the coffee?
The manufacturer explicitly positions Perfetto as water treatment for coffee and cites the improvement of coffee taste as a product benefit.
