Coffee machine water filters in Australia: the maker's own filter, matched to your machine

A coffee machine filter has two jobs: slow the scale that hard water leaves inside the machine, and take the chlorine taste out of the water. It’s a maintenance part, not a drinking-water filter. The right one is whichever your machine’s maker lists for it, and for Breville that depends on the model and sometimes the batch.

Which filter fits your machine

Maker’s shop prices checked 18 October 2026. Breville ships free over $49, De’Longhi over $100, and Jura adds shipping. We can’t show Amazon prices; the Amazon buttons on our picks show today’s price.

Breville. The lists above are from Breville Australia’s ClaroSwiss and BWF100 pages. Those pages don’t fully agree: the ClaroSwiss page also links the Barista Pro and Bambino Plus, and the BWF100 page also links the Barista Express Impress (BES876) and Barista Touch. Breville’s own advice is to check your existing filter or your machine’s batch code. If a filter is already in the machine, buy the same one.

De’Longhi. De’Longhi’s own page calls the DLSC002 “ideal for all De’Longhi automatic coffee makers” and names no models. The Amazon Australia listing names the ECAM and ETAM bean-to-cup ranges and the EC680 and EC800 manual machines. De’Longhi’s part number for it is 5513292811.

Jura. Jura’s Claris Smart+ page names versions for some machines, such as the ENA 4 (AUB) and E6 (INTC), so check its full list. Machines with Jura’s Intelligent Water System recognise a fitted filter and switch to filter mode by themselves, Jura says. Jura also sells a Claris Blue+ cartridge; if your machine isn’t on the Smart+ list, check which one your manual names.

Genuine or compatible?

“Genuine” here means sold by the machine’s maker or by Amazon Australia itself. On Amazon, Breville’s ClaroSwiss 2-pack and 4-pack, De’Longhi’s DLSC002 and Jura’s Claris Smart+ are all sold by Amazon Australia.

Amazon also sells a single ClaroSwiss (BES008) from the Sage store. Sage is the name Breville sells under in the UK and Europe (Breville Group). That listing names the Barista Express and Barista Pro, which Breville Australia lists under the BWF100. Go by Breville Australia’s list and your old filter.

Compatibles cost less. The Waterdrop 6-pack claims TÜV SÜD certification for chlorine reduction, and the COFFILTRO 4-pack’s Amazon listing says “NSF”, though we found no NSF listing for it. NSF lists none of the Breville, Jura Claris or COFFILTRO filters, so certification doesn’t separate genuine from compatible here. Fit does, along with the change interval.

Do you need one?

It depends on your water. Hardness is the dissolved minerals that leave scale when water is heated, and it varies a lot between cities (our city guide).

• Soft water: Melbourne (about 31 mg/L), Sydney (about 43), Canberra (about 37), the Gold Coast (about 47) and Newcastle (about 56). Below 60 counts as soft, and Hunter Water calls Newcastle’s water non-scaling. Scale builds slowly here, and the filter mostly helps taste.
• Hard water: Perth (about 100 to over 200 mg/L) and Adelaide (about 130 to 200). Kettles and coffee machines scale fast in Perth (Perth guide). This is where a filter earns its keep, and where it runs out soonest. Jura rates its Claris Smart+ at up to 65 litres in water of 1 to 5 °dH, but 55 litres at 11 to 15 °dH. One °dH is about 18 mg/L, so Perth’s 200 mg/L is about 11 °dH.
• In between: Brisbane, which varies by zone. Brisbane and Adelaide also use chloramine, which standard carbon removes far less well than chlorine (chloramine guide), so expect less taste improvement there.

A filter doesn’t stop you descaling unless the maker says so. De’Longhi says its filter means descaling 20% less often. The Amazon listing for Jura’s Claris Smart+ says no descaling is needed while it’s active. Breville says the ClaroSwiss protects against scaling, but doesn’t say it replaces descaling.

What it costs a year

The picks

Breville owners with an Oracle, Oracle Jet, Dual Boiler or Barista Touch should buy the ClaroSwiss 2-pack from Amazon Australia or Breville. Breville’s 4-pack is cheaper per filter once you’re sure of fit. For the Barista Express and Barista Pro, Breville lists its BWF100 resin filters, sold in its own shop. The Waterdrop 6-pack is the cheaper way to run a ClaroSwiss machine, if you’re happy with a compatible. De’Longhi bean-to-cup owners should buy the genuine DLSC002; at six a year it’s the dearest filter here to run. Jura owners with a machine on Jura’s list should buy the Claris Smart+ 3-pack.

The competition

These are also on sale in Australia. We checked them on 18 October 2026.

• Breville ClaroSwiss 4-pack (BCC010): $79.95 at Breville, and also on Amazon Australia. The same filter as our pick: a year’s worth, and cheaper per filter.
• Breville ClaroSwiss single (BES008): $26.95 at Breville, and also on Amazon from the Sage store. The Amazon listing shows only a CE mark and names machines Breville Australia doesn’t (see above).
• COFFILTRO ClaroSwiss-compatible 4-pack on Amazon. Three months each, its maker says. The listing says “NSF”; we found no NSF listing.
• De’Longhi DLSC002 4-pack on Amazon, sold by Amazon Germany and imported. It’s De’Longhi-branded, but the single from Amazon Australia or De’Longhi is the simpler buy.
• Jura Claris Smart+ single: AUD 27.90 at Jura, and also on Amazon Australia (two left when we checked).
• Jura Claris Blue+, AUD 79.90 for three at Jura. Jura’s other current cartridge; your manual says which one your machine takes.
