The quality of water used is important. It needs some trace minerals in order to bind with the soluble solids. Distilled water, is actually quite corrosive, but also will not get the best coffee brew because it has no trace minerals. Best brew temp is between 195f and 205f.
One aspect of a brewed cup of coffee is the Total Disolved Solids or TDS. On average, the target number is about 150 ppm. This is what a most find is the best balance of flavors. -
@Espressolane - what brand water do you recommend?

Am I the only one that doesn’t like keurigs?
They seem simple but then you get one and they get all gross and it’s just more to clean.
I got a French press and a bodum water boiler. Just throw the French press in the dishwasher whenever I run it and it’s clean. I also have a cheap bialletti espresso maker for when I want some race gas lol.Oldironfan and John A. Thank this. -
Do you have a water conditioner (softener) on the main house. Makes a difference in filtration. With a conditioner, a single or 2 stage system should be all you need.
If nothing is on the household system, a good quality 2 or 3 stage system will work quite well. Can be plumbed for a single spigot at your kitchen sink, and for the ice maker in the refrigerator
An under counter/sink system will be fine. Places like Lowes / Home Depot sell systems that work well.
The decent systems will run about $200 for the kit. Filters should be about $45 to $65. Most filters should last 6 to 9 months, around 600 gallons.77fib77 Thanks this. -
Main thing is to AVOID tap water from many municipal water sources that have color and foul odor and taste to it, which is very common today. -
I'm distilled water every day. No matter what I make. Or drink plain distilled water.
Chinatown Thanks this.
