Hot take: Most people overlook the biggest factor in their morning cup

I see everyone talking about grinders and fancy beans lately. I really believe the water from your sink changes the taste more than anything. Once I tried using bottled water for my brew, it was like a whole new drink. My friends think I'm nuts for saying this. But after that switch, I can't ignore how much it matters.

Switched to filtered water last year and my cheap coffee immediately tasted cleaner. My old kettle used to leave a chalky film with tap water, and now that's totally gone. It was a night and day difference for basically no extra work.

Totally, seeing that film go away proves it.

Hold up, fresh beans and a decent grinder matter way more than water. My tap water coffee tastes just fine with good beans.
