What is Mitte Home?
Mitte Home is a smart water filtration and carbonation system designed and manufactured in Germany that transforms ordinary tap water into healthy, mineral-enhanced water at the touch of a button. It filters, mineralises, and carbonates water, offering a sustainable alternative to bottled water. The system includes a rental device, cartridges, CO₂ cylinders, and reusable bottles, all integrated into a subscription model that delivers consumables right to your door. It’s a fresh take on hydration, unshackling consumers from plastic bottles and the environmentally damaging supply chains that come with them.
Main Benefits of Mitte Home
Here’s why Mitte Home stands out:
- Starter kit includes a refurbished, sanitised rental device, a Mitte Balance cartridge (lasting up to 250 litres), CO₂ cylinder, and glass and/or PET bottles.
- Subscription plans offer flexible cartridge delivery intervals: every 1, 2, 3, or 6 months depending on the chosen model.
- Water costs as low as €0.39 per litre for still water, €0.54 for light carbonation, and €0.69 for high carbonation in the Business subscription.
- Automatic renewal with easy cancellation within 30 days or free withdrawal within 14 days.
- Device return is free of charge upon subscription termination.
- Filters remove contaminants like chlorine, VOCs, microplastics, bacteria, and lead using active carbon and hollow fibre technology.
- Mineral enhancement adds healthy minerals to the water, mimicking premium mineral water quality.
- Smart Replenishment system automates reordering of cartridges and CO₂ cylinders based on actual usage.
Subscription Models Tailored to Your Needs
Mitte Home offers several subscription options to fit different lifestyles and consumption levels. The S-subscription model requires a 12-month minimum term and delivers a new cartridge every 6 months, including 1 PET bottle. The M-subscription model, with a 9-month minimum, sends a cartridge every 3 months and includes a glass bottle. The L-subscription model offers a 6-month minimum term with cartridge delivery every 2 months, including both glass and PET bottles. For workplaces, the Business subscription provides 250 litres of filtered water monthly with cartridge delivery every month, including multiple bottles for shared use. Each plan renews automatically but allows easy cancellation or downgrading after the initial term.
How Mitte Home Compares to Other Water Options
When stacked against bottled water brands and other filtration methods, Mitte Home shines in several areas. It reduces bacteria, heavy metals, chlorine, and microplastics—something many bottled waters and filters don’t fully address. Plus, it adds minerals for taste and health benefits, unlike many alternatives. The system offers still and sparkling water options, with carbonation levels adjustable to personal preference. Sustainability-wise, Mitte Home generates less waste compared to bottled water, which often involves single-use plastic. The smart app and Smart Refills service add convenience, making it a modern, eco-friendly choice for hydration.
The Technology Behind Mitte Home
The filtration technology combines active carbon and hollow fibre membranes to effectively remove contaminants such as chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), microplastics, bacteria, and lead. While the system is known to reduce pesticides and pharmaceutical residues if present in tap water, this effect is still under validation. The mineralisation process enhances water by adding essential minerals, creating a taste profile comparable to premium mineral water. Carbonation is achieved through CO₂ cylinders, allowing users to customize their water from still to lightly or highly carbonated. This smart hardware is paired with a digital ecosystem that manages consumable replenishment based on real-time usage, ensuring a seamless experience.
