Microfilter, the award winning South Korean water filter manufacturer and global supplier to industrial giants that include Samsung, Bosch, Hisense, LG, Panasonic, Daewoo and Hyundai, has awarded exclusive distribution of its products in South Africa to Famous Brands Coffee Company.

Microfilter was launched in 1996 and with 114 patents and 57 registered designs, has attained performance and quality certifications from bodies such as NSF in the USA, WRAS and UKAS in the UK, WaterMark in Australia and CE across Europe. Microfilter exports its range to more than 40 countries across the globe.

Its most recent achievement was to have its Fluux range NSF/ANSI 401 certified under the American National Standards Institute, for the removal of microplastics as small as 0.1 microns from water supplies. Microplastics are minute particles of plastic that are found nearly everywhere but as they are increasingly being viewed as harmful to health, filtration systems that can remove them, offer significant benefits to water drinkers.

“The fact that Microfilter are one of the first manufacturers to be awarded the NSF/ANSI 401 certification is testimony to a company that is a leader in its field, and it is why we are delighted to have developed this relationship with Microfilter” says Brian Best, Managing Director of Famous Brands Coffee Company. “We manufacture and distribute coffee, hot chocolate and smoothie powders and all of them are made with water, so safe, good quality water is essential for enjoying our products” he adds.

The Microfilter range of water filters extends from filters capable of removing particles, chlorine taste and odour, bacteria, and cysts to those that prevent calcium scale build up in hot water systems and even support ice crystal formation in ice machines. “Microfilter’s products cover a diverse range of applications and none more so important to ourselves as a coffee manufacturer, than improving coffee taste, protecting consumers from ingesting microplastics, bacteria and cysts and reducing scale build up in coffee making equipment” says Best. He notes that “there is a filter for every application, be it an office coffee machine or water cooler through to traditional espresso machines and ice machines in cafes, restaurants and hotels”.

A team of dedicated service technicians who understand both water chemistry and water filtration installation, will support customers with free water quality testing and then the selection and installation of the right filter for the situation.

Famous Brands Coffee Company will be offering the Microfilter range to operators and distributors of water dispensers, ice machines and coffee machines in offices and catering establishments across South Africa. The water filter range can be found at beanonline.co.za
