The quality of your water is one of the most underappreciated aspects of brewing coffee. There are lots of kinds of water that can be easily found and used to brew your favorite drink to start your day. But what is really the best water to use to brew your coffee?

Coffee is made up of 98 percent water, it's ideal to use non-distilled water with some added minerals. Minerals in water increase the flavor of coffee in the same way that salt and sugar enhances the flavor of food. A precise roasting, grinding, and brewing process, will result in consistently great coffee. A perfect combination to have the perfect cup.

Personally, I like my water to be distilled with some added minerals, and yes, it is not cheap to buy branded minerals to mix with water nowadays. Luckily, we have some passionate people in our city who study these kinds of professions. Using their knowledge and skills, they came up with their own brand that consists of magnesium and calcium. You will just add this to 4–6 liters of distilled water and it will have a specific mineral content of parts per million (ppm) after completely dissolving. They are also selling it to us home brewers at a friendly price. It is only available in sachets and can be purchased individually or in packs.

Wooow! I actually did not know that the quality of water affects the overall blend of coffee. This is good to know 🤗

Hey I hadn't thought about this until I read your post.

I use the water that comes from the local water supply, but this water is highly chlorinated, and when it boils you can see the residues, but I always try to strain it well so that I don't pass these residues to my coffee.
