Product description

Bilt Oscar Water Softener

Good water is half the battle. The Bilt Oscar water softener keeps your espresso machine safe from limescale, which is good for both your coffee and your machine. This softener is suitable for espresso machines with or without a hose in the water tank, such as ECM, Profitec, Gaggia, and others.

Using it is simple: remove the sachet from its packaging, rinse it briefly under the tap, and place it in your machine's water tank. The water softener works passively, treating the water while it sits in the tank.

The lifespan of the water softener depends on the composition of your tap water. On average, the Oscar 90 treats about 150 liters of water, while the Oscar 150 can soften about 250 liters. The Oscar softens your water and reaches the ideal hardness for espresso (3–4 dH). Note: the harder the water, the longer it takes to reach the desired hardness.

The water softener is made in Italy, is bacteriostatic thanks to the silver in the resin, and has a neutral pH. Replace the softener approximately every three months to ensure that excessive (harmful) limescale never builds up in your espresso machine.

Why tools?

To make truly good espresso or filter coffee, you need more than just a machine. The right tools make all the difference. A coffee grinder delivers freshly ground coffee, precisely ground to the right fineness. For espresso, a tamper evenly compresses the grind, while a scale helps you weigh and time each shot. A knockbox keeps your workspace clean, and a milk jug gives you control over frothing for cappuccino or latte art. And for filter coffee, you have plenty of choices in brewing methods and filters. Everything affects the final coffee.

frekko micro roastery

At FREKKO, we believe life is too short to drink the same coffee all the time. That's why we started roasting our own coffees in 2022. No mass production, but carefully selected beans with their own unique character.

We partner with organizations that stand for fair prices, few middlemen, and good quality. This way, we know exactly where our coffee comes from and who contributed to its production.

For us, coffee is never boring: there's always something new to discover, new flavors, new styles. And that's precisely what makes it so enjoyable. At FREKKO, it's all about coffee that suits you, just a little bit different, just a little bit better.
