Filtered Water for Better Coffee, Tea and Cooking

You can buy the best coffee beans in Northern California, but if you brew them with water that tastes like chlorine or is full of minerals, the cup will never taste quite right. Coffee and tea are mostly water, so your water is the biggest ingredient in every cup.

How water changes the taste

Chlorine and chloramine leave a flat, chemical taste that clashes with coffee and tea. Very hard water can make coffee taste chalky and dull, and it leaves a film on tea. Filtered water lets the real flavor come through, in your coffee and tea and in soups and pasta too.

What scale does to your appliances

Ever seen white crust inside your kettle? That's scale from hard water, and the same thing happens inside coffee makers, espresso machines, ice makers and dishwashers. Over time it slows down heating and brewing, clogs small parts and water lines, and means more descaling, repairs and replacements.

In the rest of the kitchen

Filtered water also helps with clear ice cubes, rice, pasta, soups, broths and baby food, and with washing fruits and vegetables.

The easy fix

A reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink gives you good water for drinking and cooking, and a whole-home or salt-free system protects your appliances from scale. Book a free water test and we'll show you what's in your water and which option makes the most sense for your kitchen.
