Using the right water for coffee was one of the best tips I learned from multiple sources in order to improve coffee at home. I live in a place in Italy with extremely hard water, so I have a cleaning filter installed that still leaves a series of minerals. Water is good to drink but not to brew coffee.
The solution I’m using now is bottled water, which works really well except for the fact that buying and wasting plastic isn’t ideal at all
Is there any way to obtain good quality water without having a ton of plastic in my bin? I mean I could buy mineral pills or something but still I’d need first to get demineralised water somehow, most likely bottled. So I don’t know really
My tap smells like pool water without the ultra but is otherwise not hard.
I’m in the same boat. Well, not pool water, but it does have chlorine i want to remove, so i use a brita, too. I just know too many people with hard water who try to use a filter to remove it, even though that’s not really the way that filters work.
