Cup North 2015: "Water For Coffee?" | Chloe Callow

There’s no denying that water is a hot topic in the coffee industry right now, thanks to the work of Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood and Christopher Hendon on “Water for Coffee”, but is it necessary—or even desirable—to put systems in place to concoct the “perfect” water in every shop?

Chloe Callow (Bespoke Water, Pendred & Co) took the stage at Cup North 2015 to talk about basic water science, the different approaches to filtration she comes across regularly, and why you shouldn’t blindly implement everything you read.
