Renowned barista champion Oskar Garberg, whose credentials include winning the Swedish and Nordic Barista Championships and competing on the world stage, has always been at the forefront of coffee innovation. Now, his company Standout Coffee has teamed up with Bluewater, taking things to the next level with a breakthrough in water control. 
 

“For the first time, baristas have direct control over their water’s mineral content right from their phone,” Garberg explains. “Using the Bluewater Café Station feels experimental, like we’re discovering new water recipes for flavour extraction all the time. This is just the beginning.” 

Garberg highlights the Bluewater Café Station 1™ as a tool that delivers complete precision. By allowing baristas to adjust water mineralisation on the fly, the system enhances specific flavour profiles based on different beans or brewing methods. “With just a touch, you can enhance fruity notes in a light roast or bring out the rich, chocolate undertones in a dark roast,” Garberg shares.

“The pre-set mineral profiles – Light, Original, Medium, and Bold – make it easy to tailor the water for each bean,” he adds. 

More than a flavour-enhancing tool, the Bluewater Café Station 1 also tackles equipment maintenance by preventing scale build-up. Its patented liquid mineral formula doesn’t break down from heat, meaning baristas no longer need to worry about costly repairs or machine breakdowns due to scaling. 

 
For Garberg, the Bluewater Café Station 1 is the perfect tool for every barista. “This system puts complete control in the hands of the barista, helping us to make not just great coffee, but to do so in a completely hassle-free way.”
