Distilled water equals tasteless coffee and tea.


I have never found that to be true. Does one want their coffee or tea
to
taste of their water?

It's the loss of additional oxygen content suspended in the water that
makes the coffee taste flat. This is true of distilled water as well
as water that has been allowed to sit exposed to air overnight,
whether in a carafe or in a Bunn coffee maker (heat accelerates this
process).

.... fill a container about half full of water, put on a tight lid, and
shake the container. This will properly saturate the water with oxygen to
the right concentration.

We tried putting the water in a Vita-Mix this morning, oxygenating it, but
we could taste no difference. (We keep our beans cool, fresh and grind them
ourselves.)
