  Some people don’t have access to decent tasting tap water

  Most people IMHO.

    You should try it in Iceland. Tap water is so clean you practically ruin it by putting it in plastic.

      Never been, but I’m sure their tap water is great for the same reason mine is: Plenty of mountainous lakes, and not that many people around them.

      I generally don’t drink nk bottled water… It tastes… stale.

    My tap water is pretty good, too bad we can’t send taste over the internet

  The water at my office smells like chlorine. It’s dreadful. I wouldn’t even use it to make coffee, I fill up a nalgene at home and bring that in. My home water is well water and tastes a tad high iron, just the way I like it. (HOA regularly tests the water and it’s always within legal limits, yay.)

  If you have the money for it a water bottle with a filter (even just the carbon Brita ones) improve the taste immensely. I use an Epic water filter for everything and it makes nearly all water taste good*.

  • The only exception I had was the Atlanta airport I have no clue what the fuck was going on their but the water was disgusting.

  Also worth noting: don’t use a filtered water bottle for actually filtering water that has contaimints you are actually worried about consuming; none except for grayl actually match their claimed results with third party testing.

    I installed a filter under our kitchen sink, with a separate small tap.

    10/10 recommend this approach.

  I don’t know if offgassing is the reason the water tastes better when cooled overnight. I would do this with an enclosed bottle (no off-gassing possible) and it would taste equally better.

  Definitely cooling it is an improvement, I always thought it tasted different due to how our mouth/taste buds responds to the dropping temperature.

  Yes chlorine is a very volatile chemical and dissipates quickly.
