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
Automatic Distiller
I consider it to be as important a home appliance as a fridge now
There’re countertop models as well (much more affordable) but the automatic ones with a pump which you can set up to dispense at your choice of locations are unbeatable in terms of convenience
We used bottled for a while (~10 months) before getting a distiller because I couldnt be assed reinstall my ro system at our new apartment. Be as concerned about the microplastics you’re drinking if you’re doing that aa much as the waste that goes in the bin
