We are sure you've heard it many times before— your coffee is only as good as your water. As we believe your coffee depends on water quality, and your equipment's longevity rests in its hands, we wanted to make you an expert in all things water. So, we've partnered up with the co-founder of Third Wave Water, Charles Nick, to teach you how to test and treat your water so you can have better coffee and happy equipment in under thirty minutes!
