Coffee, tea, and tap water. Three things we consume every day, yet few people realize how closely connected they are. The quality of your water has a major impact on the flavour of every drink you make.
That’s why it makes sense to think not only about the coffee beans or tea leaves you choose, but also about the water you pour into your kettle.
Water as the Main Ingredient
- Most people focus on the quality of their coffee or tea, but did you know that water makes up to 98% of a cup of coffee and more than 99% of tea?
- If the water contains chlorine, heavy metals, or excess minerals, you’ll taste it immediately.
- Hard water enhances bitterness, while chlorine mutes aroma and adds an unpleasant aftertaste.
- In contrast, softer, cleaner water from a filter jug allows the full fragrance and delicate notes of your drink to shine through.
Filtration as the Key to Perfect Flavour
A water filter jug, such as the Lauben Glass Water Filter Jug 32GW, uses a combination of activated carbon and ion exchange.
Thanks to this system, it:
- removes chlorine and unwanted odours,
- reduces limescale,
- softens water and stabilizes its pH.
The result?
Coffee tastes cleaner and more balanced, tea has a richer colour and aroma – and your favourite drinks gain an entirely new depth of flavour.
What Baristas and Tea Masters Say
- Professionals know that water is just as important as the ingredient itself.
- Cafés commonly use filtration systems to maintain consistent water quality for espresso and tea preparation.
- At home, a simple water filter jug can achieve a similar effect — with no installation, no maintenance, and instant results.
Tip: Try brewing the same coffee twice. Once with tap water and once with filtered water. You’ll taste the difference after the very first sip.
Filtered Water for Cooking Too
- Water quality affects more than just drinks – it also impacts the flavour of your food.
- When cooking pasta, soups, or vegetables, filtered water helps preserve the natural taste of ingredients and reduces scale buildup in your pots and kettles.
- It’s a small detail that makes everyday cooking and drinking just a little better.
