on an everyday basis. But it does boil water fine – it’s not like trying make decent tea with microwaved water. I’m sure the more expensive models are heavier and nicer.

a funny taste. My solution is to use tap water, but filter it, which helps clean it even more. I believe the Pur filters even do filter out cryptosporidium. And for Jim who’s concerned about the filters, if you use your...

Ya know, I’d LOVE to see it become a trend. $2.50 for unlimited filtered water is not bad at all. I certainly prefer it to having to choose between dreck from the tap and a $7 bottle of Panna. Given that a high quality,...

If your grocery has a Goya/Latin food aisle, or there is a market nearby with one, Goya, Grace, and other Caribbean/Latin brands sell canned coconut water. alternatively, if there are coconuts in the produce section, you can 'tap...

on EPA’s standards for tap water. They are both safe. Agree with DNA – a water filter should address any taste concerns.

so there’s no need for a water filter. Next time we’re in Texas, drink the tap water, then tell me how bad our SF water is. Plus, water filters attached to faucets are ugly and annoying and under-the-sink filters are...

I have not used filtered water for my stovetop Moka espresso maker. And, after reading a lot of background info, I usually just rinse it out and wash with soap every once in awhile. The water reservoir at the bottom is now sort...

I agree, filtered tap water is just fine to excellent in many places, especially in SF. We have an undercounter filter from Sears installed in the cold water line that runs to one of those little gooseneck faucets next to our...

I hate water. I drink the occasional filtered tap water, but filtered, bottled, special spring water, whatever, they all taste funny to me. I drink my water mostly flavored to hide the non-water taste, mostly with emergen-C or...

of bottled water—and 90% of the plastic ends up in landfills. While I need to check the numbers out, it’s just ironic to hear them both today. Filtering is a good option for those with concerns about tap—myself...

You are so correct. But I suggested a reverse osmosis system because it comes the closest to "bottled water taste." For myself, I installed a Sears under-the-sink water filter — no resevoir tank, just water straight through...

'd describe the water as drinkable, but not really very good. I will drink it away from home (bottled water tastes like plastic to me, and some of the bottled water is just tap water from the area that’s been filtered and...

there? BTW, I know that a lot of bottled waters (Dasani, Aquafina) are just filtered tap water, but this is labelled spring water. I feel like I’ve been drinking poison! The weird thing is that it’s merely coincidence...

While in China I had the same problem with taste less water for tea. http://www.pocketmail.com/journal/?cat=844&paged=2 I can’t say that for distilled water this would help much, but for already filtered (via my trusted Multi...

Another Evian loather, here. Brita-filtered NYC tap water tastes just fine compared to Evian. One question. Why do relatively few restaurants serve Evian?
