#BE WTR News & Press Releases

BE WTR, a pioneer in providing water solutions for haute cuisine, is revolutionizing the water market by establishing itself as a key player at SIRHA Lyon 2025. As the official partner of the event and prestigious competitions such as the Bocuse d’Or and the World Pastry Cup, BE WTR is repositioning water as a central element in fine dining with the international launch of its latest innovation, the AQTiV+ carafe.

BE WTR: Elevating Water for Culinary Excellence

The Swiss start-up is redefining the role of water in gastronomy by offering a sensory experience that enhances both flavors and fine dining. Using its patented Swiss AQTiV™ technology, BE WTR transforms local water by oxygenating and enhancing its purity. The filtered water is then elevated using the AQTiV+ carafe, a flagship solution that aids chefs and their guests in exploring culinary flavors and enriching the dining experience. After two years of research and development, BE WTR is proud to unveil the AQTiV+ carafe on the international stage during SIRHA 2025.

AQTiV+: A Revolution in Fine Dining

The AQTiV+ carafe redefines the boundaries of culinary moments with its unique combination of a French-crafted crystal bottle, patented Swiss resonator technology, and advanced filtration for local water. This enhanced water elevates flavors, complementing every ingredient it interacts with. Each AQTiV+ carafe is a meticulously handcrafted design piece, created by La Rochère, Europe’s oldest glassworks.

Renowned chefs and culinary experts praise its impact:

Baptiste Gillet-Delrieu, Head Sommelier at Le Bristol: “Water influences the palate and shapes our taste perception. BE WTR’s activated water offers an optimal experience, preserving minerals in suspension and enhancing the texture and taste, not just of the water itself but also of wines and dishes.

Pierre Reboul, Château de la Pioline*: “What we discovered with BE WTR is its unique ability to deliver an exceptional flavor profile, making it incredibly enjoyable.”

Emmanuel Renault, Flocon de Sel***: “The neutrality and purity of BE WTR ensure that it doesn’t interfere with the flavors we want to highlight.”

Introducing AQTiV Duo: Innovation for Still and Sparkling Water

The newly launched AQTiV Duo expands BE WTR’s offerings for fine dining establishments. Designed specifically for professionals, this system preserves the minerals in local water while enhancing its unique flavor profile. Featuring a dual automatic tap for faster filling and the option of still or sparkling water on demand, the AQTiV Duo combines Swiss design and technology. Its vortex mechanism with 18 microjets aerates and oxygenates the water, delivering a fresh, smooth, and perfectly filtered experience with every sip.
