doesn't kill you eh? Have you checked the Hexavalent Chromium levels in your water supply lately? Look it up.

Chromium 6 is currently under UCMR 3. An unregulated contaminant according to the EPA. That means that the EPA has not concluded how much chromium 6 will cause what kind of issues. Any current study that claims they know the health effects of Chromium 6 is blowing smoke. And you are ignorant to think that Chromium 6 has not been in drinking water for 100 years.
Bottled water likely contains more bacteria than tap water. Companies bring their bottled water to us for their required monthly samples. I've never seen a bottled water sample with a heterotrophic plate count of less than one. The local municipalities typically bring in samples that are almost always less than one. I can't speak for the BPA.
As for the coffee filtration, chlorine residual that is required by departments of health make coffee taste funny. The coffee shops, if they really want good coffee, will use a carbon cartridge filter as their water supply comes into the building. No Cl2 residual = better coffee.
Bad W. and John C. have nailed it in this thread. The rest of you can keeping sucking on your testicle-shrinking bottled water. As for the original question, instead of patronizing Starbucks, support your locally-owned espresso bar but insist they use tap water.

Do you shower or cook your food in Perrier?
Uhhhh, YES. Don't you?
But seriously: you realize that most these minerals come to us through our food and "only" drinking bottled water will NOT kill anyone. No one drinks all their H2O they consume on a daily basis from bottled sources.
