Working with you we’ll customize a water ingredient that will help you make your product the best it can be.

Coffee - Water is the crucial second ingredient of brewed coffee and espresso. High mineral content in the form of TDS, (Total Dissolved Solids) and Calcium, (Hardness) affects the final flavor of even the best coffee program, resulting in less than ideal extraction of coffee flavor. Cirqua® Customized Water™ is the world’s leading quality provider of water filtration for the coffee industry. Our recognized knowledge of water and coffee can help you make the most of what goes into your cup and that of your customers.

Soda & Fountain – Taste is always important and fountain beverages using syrup require the proper proportion of water and syrup to achieve a quality product. The best water for your soda and fountain beverages is often determined by the volume of syrup required to make the beverage taste right. High hardness and TDS, (Total Dissolved Solids) affects the ability of soda syrup to properly dissolve, requiring increased use of syrup to achieve acceptable taste and brix levels. The result is higher syrup costs. The right water from Cirqua allows for the optimal mixture of brix in your fountain beverages and a reduction in syrup use and cost.

Blended and Ice Drinks –The cool and the crunch of great blended beverages is made with the primary ingredient of ice. The best-blended drinks are made with high quality ice. Cirqua can help you create ice that freezes clear and solid; ice that, once blended, maintains its shape and structure longer than ice made with regular filtered water. Your blended drinks will last longer, taste better…and your customers will love you for it.

Ice – The simple product of ice is often compromised by the water ingredient and its long-term effects on your ice machine. Ice made from water high in TDS and hardness produces cloudy and softer ice and melts faster than normal. Cirqua can help you create ice that is crystal-clear, lasts longer and tastes better.

Baked Goods – From mix to proof to finish, the right water ingredient unequivocally adds to the quality of your bakery products. For dough mixing the right water aids in proper dispersion of the ingredients, initializing hydration. As the dough develops, catalysts react and the expansion of the matrix takes place. Once the goods have baked and are near completion steam injection forms the gloss and crust of the surface.

Controlling the water specifications is an important part of the baked goods process. Your product will be directly affected by your water. Cirqua® Customized Water™ provides the water that helps make your baking right.

Produce - The quality of produce for display and sale is of major concern to grocers and supermarket merchandisers. Hydration of fruits and vegetables is a necessary function in order to maximize shelf stability and profit retention. Water is the essential ingredient in the humidification and misting of various types of fruits and vegetables in order to maintain a fresh appearance as well as retain proper weight of produce. Cirqua knows the value of the right water for your produce aisle – water that keeps your produce fresh and clean and the display environment free of the effects of hardness and scale.
