Built for this water

Ligeia

Mineral-rich water brings weight but mutes the top of the cup — and where alkalinity is high as well, it buffers the acidity and the cup arrives flat. Ligeia answers with higher-grown arabica and a shorter roast — more aroma, more lift, enough brightness to still read through the mineral.

Against the SCA target zone

At its softest, Capri sits 4× above the top of the zone the SCA Water Chart marks as its target (2.8–6.2 °dH). Read that as a distance, not a verdict: the chart maps taste outcomes, it does not grade cities.

German utilities publish °dH, French and Italian ones °f, British and Irish ones ppm CaCO₃. Same water, three conventions — worth knowing if you compare your city with one abroad.

Of the 49 cities we publish, Capri ranks 2nd by hardness.

Where this number comes from

Published by GORI. We do not estimate: a city without a figure we could read on the utility's own publication is not on this site at all.
