What water are you guys using for making coffee?
We use under sink installed multi-stage filters,
RO, UV light produced water. We don't drink water out
of tap.


Carbon filtered tap water. Good tasting, now odors. Makes for better
beverages, both hot and alcoholic if you use ice cubes or a splash of
water.


For years I used my wife's Brita filtered water for coffee and just
this week I used tap water just for my own coffee and I couldn't taste
the difference. I used Houston tap water FWIW. I'm not saying
Houston's water is that good but rather I just couldn't taste the
difference. My wife will probably disagree with my taste buds but
that's my take on the filtered and unfiltered water we use.

Hmm,
If you are a smoker, I understand. Typical multi stage filter has
sediment filter-GAC(granularized activated charcoal) filter-
carbon block filter-RO membrane-coconut polishing filter-Deionizer or
UV light. I replace filters every 6 months, RO membrane every 2 years.
