Overheard a barista say 'coffee is 90% water quality' and it hit me hard
I was waiting for my order at a shop in Austin last week and heard this barista tell a customer that plain tap water can mess up even the best beans. I've been blaming my brewing technique for that flat taste for months. Tried filtered water at home the next day and my morning cup actually had flavor. Has anyone else noticed a big difference just from switching water?

@hunt.rowan yeah it really does man. I switched to a basic brita filter after hearing the same thing and my morning coffee went from bitter and flat to actually having some sweetness. Your mileage may vary depending on your tap water but it's a cheap thing to try before upgrading anything else.
