Or is it straight tap water?
Or is it straight tap water?
triple purified using reverse osmosis
It gets boiled, so why do you care? Tap water's not going to kill you.
It goes through the coffe filter, right?
I was just curious as a new shop in town touts their expensive filtration system.
They also run a microbrewery that touts its filtered water.
As a known fact (except for you), tap water has bacteria and mineral despoits as well as after taste. As for one of starbuck's Americanos, they top off the expresso part of the drink with unfiltered tap water.
I only drink tap water. Why? More bacteria, mineral deposits, and after taste. And that's a known fact.
actually tap water has stricter standards than bottled water, and american tap water is very safe.
taste may vary depending on the mineral content or the methods used to clean the water but its all relatively free of bacteria (at least enough so that it won't cause sickness).
due to the differences in taste I would be very surprised if starbucks did not filter the water they use to make coffee. as a chain one of their goals is consistency, so i can't imagine that they wouldn't filter or do something to ensure consistent taste. in my experience they do a good job ensuring that all of their coffee tastes like the same burnt garbage at every location.
doesn't kill you eh? Have you checked the Hexavalent Chromium levels in your water supply lately? Look it up.

People seem to respond well to marketing filtered water.
On even a small industrial scale like a micro brewery, If you want to make something consistently, filtration is required.
.
Also know some of the fancier systems add minerals to develop a consistent, unique flavor.
If you can create a popular formula, there is some money to be made.
If you're concerned about drinking pure enough water, I assume you're from somewhere crappy like Ohio and that you should move to Oregon to taste some real water, not that acid rain stuff you people drink over there.

Enjoy the lead filled tainted Oregon water sucka.
http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2016/09/lead_found_in_drinking_water_a.htmlBottle water will kill you. Dietary guidelines for mineral consumption were made for an era when people drank and bathed in well or tap water mostly, and got their minerals that way.
In particular, you are not going to get enough magnesium from food. Ignore what it says on the label, the only common foods high in magnesium are also high in either fiber or calcium which inhibits Mg absorption. Water contains elemental magnesium which is absorbed easily.
If you don't get enough magnesium, you will likely die of cardiovascular disease due to calcium precipitation from the blood. You could also die of the reduced mobility caused by osteoporosis.
And finally, of course, your "pure" bottled water is probably contained in Bisphenol-A-leaching plastic.
As for lead, the majority of US household plumbing contains lead, but it's dangerous only if the water sits still long enough for the lead to leach in, or in hot water. Only drink cold tap water, and leave it running for a while first.
^ some of the funniest bullshit I've read all year.

Common bottled waters have a ton of magnesium. Perrier has 170mg per liter. San Pellegrino has 200mg/liter.
^^^ Not what most people mean by "bottled water," first of all, besides which, no they don't. Perrier is essentially magnesium-free and S. Pellegrino has only 53.
The only magnesium-rich mineral water with significant distribution in the US is Gerolsteiner.

You realize that 53mg/liter is way higher than the magnesium content of tap water, right? Like 5+ times higher than the tap water in most cities.
And unfortunately, at least where I live, any natural spring within a couple hours is contaminated ten times over. I'm going to haul in some rocks from the state park and hang it above my rain collection system. Frack on!

Do you shower or cook your food in Perrier?
