Perfect for brewing light to medium roast coffees using most brew methods

My first time writing a review. But this stuff deserves it. I could never it my coffee to taste good. I've tried all different coffees and a bunch of different machines. Nothing worked. I have hard well water. I got this today and tried it right away. Best home coffee I've had in 13 years. It's as good or better than a coffee shop.

Great stuff!!!

I love these as a solution to the problem of coffee water. Rather than worry about the ph and mineral balance of your tap, or mess around with expensive spring water to find what you like best, you can just buy dirt cheap distilled water, add a packet, and rest assured that you have a perfect mineral balance for your coffee. The water I make with these results in delicious light roast filter coffee, and I’m looking forward to trying their other roast profiles. They’re also surprisingly inexpensive; 12 gallons of water should last months, and assuming a 12 oz cup of coffee, these only cost about $0.13 per cup, which is a small price to pay for the increase in quality. I have not tried any competing coffee water solutions, of which I know there are a few, but I’m very happy with these.

Easy to use and keeps machine clean. Espresso taste great compared to my purified water. Seems good for the money.

Excellent product. My coffee has never tasted better!

Wanting to take my homebrewing to the next level, I started using third wave packets on the suggestion of a local roaster. I was skeptical, and tested it against several other waters. All in all I compared: Third Wave classic profile Purified drinking bottled water Fiji natural spring bottled water Brita filtered water tap water I used a light roasted natural processed Columbian bean with roaster's notes of "raspberry, lime, cherry cordial", or in other words, fruity and acidic. I used the same manual pourover recipe with Kalita Wave for each water type. Overall the Third Wave packet mixed into a gallon of distilled water produced the best results and it really wasn't close. The cup had great vibrancy, acidity, fruitiness, and clarity of flavor. The Brita filtered tap water was the 2nd best, the cup had fair amounts of vibrancy and acidity, but really lacked any clear and distinguished fruity characteristics; it just tasted like a good acidic cup of coffee. In summary, third wave packets have basically ruined all other water for my coffee brewing at home. It's not the most affordable option (about $2.30 per gallon of water) but I mean we're also buying $20-30 twelve ounce bags of beans. Did we really get into specialty coffee to pinch pennies? If you want to take your coffee at home to the next level, and you enjoy dynamic light or medium roasted single origin beans, I'd recommend giving this a try.

Makes better water for better coffee

Bought this seeking to enhance the flavor profile of our espressos. Went through three 1 gallon batches of this product (mixed in distilled water) and it has yielded zero discernible difference in flavor from our usual plain filtered-water morning Lavazza espressos. Money spent for no value added in our case. Will not buy (or use) again. The alleged scale buildup improvement claims have been countered in other reviews by some espresso machine owners.

Saw this product on Shark Tank - the sharks said nobody would ever buy jugs of distilled water and put this powder into it just to put into their coffee machine - they were wrong. I have this product on auto order, I buy gallons of distilled water and have been doing it for years. The coffee is less acidic and less bitter, and far more flavourful. Moreover, whenever someone new comes over they always comment about how the coffee is incredible and ask what coffee I'm buying. They leave with 1 jug of distilled water and 1 sachet of the powder and almost every time, they have also become a regular buyer and user. I should really get a commission by now lol My only gripe is the cost - it is pretty expensive given what you get But otherwise it works as advertised, makes the coffee delicious, and even unknowing guests comment about the coffee until I tell them the secret. If you want to try and make your coffee better - this is the thing.

I'll be honest, I was honestly a little skeptic about a product like Third Wave Water and if it would really make that big of a difference to the taste and clarity of my coffee. Long story short, I now have a subscription for this product through Amazon. The point of Third Wave Water is it is the perfect mix of minerals to add to distilled water for making coffee. Having done a side-by-side comparison of coffee made with filtered water and a brew made with Third Wave Water, the difference is almost night and day. The filtered water coffee wasn't necessarily bad, but there is a clarity in the flavour profile of the coffee made with Third Wave Water that is truly incredible. If you are like me and enjoy buying and brewing coffee from speciality roasters and really want to get everything you can out of the beans, Third Wave Water will not disappoint you. Truly a game changer.

I purchased distilled water at Walmart for $1.17 a gallon then I added the third wave water and make my coffee. Much cleaner taste, the coffee tasted better u don't think I'll ever go back

Great coffee taste

Yesterday I mixed my first batch of Third Wave Water. This morning I pulled my first shot using it as my brew water. I get it. Right now I'm brewing Friedhats' Ethiopian. The tasting notes for the beans are Strawberries, Raspberries, and Lychee. It's hard to quantify a sensation. But I'll do my best. Before switching to customized brew water the taste were hints of the above, a tart almost sweet taste that was somewhat fruity. With the Third Wave Water there is far more clarity. It's more still tart, but now it feels ever so slightly more sweet than tart. The description of strawberries and raspberries feel much more honest, it reminds me of both. Kind of like picking and eating wild raspberries the ones that are almost ripe.
