Is water important?

It is quite simple: Coffee is at least 98% water. The higher the quality of water, the higher the quality of the resulting cup of coffee. If your tap water tastes good at room temperature tap water is probably fine for making coffee. If your tap water has off flavors then your coffee will have off flavors. Many people use filtered or bottled water for their coffee. There is a difference. Some of the newer more expensive coffee pots come with replaceable charcoal filters built into the machine. If at all possible don't use distilled water. It is missing minerals that makes water pleasing to drink. Please note that your taste buds are more acute when tasting warm liquids so it is important to taste your prospective water at room temperature since you will be drinking your coffee warm.

coffee

we drank coffee 35 days in the coast guard on ocean station made from distilled water no difference here been using it the the last three years on land no difference it/s great

I hope you don't actually

I hope you don't actually drink the distilled water by itself. The lack of minerals causes your body to begin using the calcium stored up in your teeth and bones causing a major decreases in bone density.

re: distilled water and minerals

This is not true. There is nothing magical about lack of trace amounts of minerals that turns harmless tap water into furious mineral scavenging distilled monster-water. If you are eating a balanced diet, you don't NEED to get your trace elements from your water. I guarantee the Coast Guard knows more about this than you do and that their teeth and bones were in no danger.

Coffee & Water

Greetings ^_^

Yes, I strongly agree that Water is very important, because not all water can be using for making a good Coffee
(it depends on the what kind of coffee you want to make). But on top of that whatever you want to make coffee i strongly sugggest using the RO (Reverse Osmosis) water. because this water mixed well with the coffee also the taste is more smooth. You can feel the difference of the coffee (depend on what kind of coffee) because this kind of water have a lowest minerals that could change the taste of coffee.
RO also healthy for our body.......

Another Tips.... (for hot coffee only) before you pour the coffee on your cups or glass, I strongly suggest to pre heat the cups or glass with hot water approx. 10-15sec. because #1. Clean the glass (from dust or residues from washing process), #2 Prolong the temperature of the coffee (room temperature 21-24Deg. Celcius roughly every 10seconds will reduce 1-2Deg.Celcius of the temperature of the coffee).

Oh... almost forgot the most important tips...... ENJOY every cups of the Coffee...
because "THERE ARE LIFE AFTER COFEE ....... ^______^"
