Distilled Water vs Treated Water Coffee - Can You Tell A Difference?

- Water minerals, like the ones from Third Wave Coffee, make the claim that better water leads to better coffee. To find if that’s true out we’re conducting a series of tasting tests, comparing pour over coffee made with distilled water versus water treated with Third Wave Water. Two tasters, two sets of coffee beans - can we reliably detect a difference? Let’s find out.
My coffee gear:
Gooseneck kettle: amzn.to/2WGDbso
Burr grinder: amzn.to/3Dt84RQ
Air-tight canister: amzn.to/2V1gBdt
Aeropress: amzn.to/38pXNHJ
Pour-over dripper: amzn.to/3sXD1sB

Great video.
I really dont understand why people say distilled water will damage the coffe machine. Why do we have to put distilled water in clothes irons to prevent scaling than? It's the same thing. Distilled prevents scaling.
Distilled water does not contain ions and is an excellent solvent. As such, it will take on ions from its surroundings. In a coffee machine, it will slowly leach minerals out of the metal components, resulting in expedited damage from corrosion. It can also screw up some of your machines' internal sensors that require enough mineral content in the water to conduct a charge.
Please do one on filtered pure water vs tap water. I read that tap water could make coffee worse and I always use tap because of the convenience. I read that water from the fridge or bottle is better so I'm curious what you guys think.
I literally just started using Third wave water because its suggested that the Profitec Pro 800 needs water between 75 - 150 PPM. I start by using distilled water and then use a packet intended for 1 gallon. It brings the water to around 145-150 PPM. In a blind water and pour over test I got both right but when it came to espresso I was completely lost in an A/B test. At this point I'm just using it because people say that distilled water can hurt a machine.
Have to say I'm not a fan of Third Wave Water. But Lotus Drops ... that's another story altogether.
How in the hail are you going to do a taste test, in paper cups? My god, man.
It is t a big deal. Paper can be perfectly neutral
Yes you most definitely can.
Water composition is the biggest impact on flavor. It’s beyond brew method or grinder being used. The water and what’s in it is the most important factor in brewing quality coffee.
