Third Wave Water Mineral Enhanced Flavor Optimizing Coffee Brewing Water, Espresso Profile, 0.635 oz

I'm genuinely surprised at the difference in flavor that this made. I use a moccamaster and good beans freshly ground on a Ode grinder...the coffee was already really good. This brought it up to on par with the best cafe drip coffee I've had. I strongly recommend it.

Definitely improved my espresso flavor profile. Super easy to add to distilled water jugs

Super coffee with it

For what it's worth, I almost rated this much, much lower. My water at home is egregiously hard and makes even my favorite coffees taste like trash water. Brita water fares only slightly better, and spring water is too varied and unreliable for long-term solutions. Coffee Reddit swears by the remineralization of distilled water, and these packets are touted as the simplest method. My first experience with them was not good. While my coffee didn't taste like garbage, it was very dull tasting—like drinking a coffee while suffering from the common cold. Despite being catered towards lighter roast coffees, this product makes water a bit too hard still to properly extract the fruit-like acidity of many light roast coffees—particularly those from East Africa. It took some experimenting, but ultimately I was able to find a way to make Third Wave Water work for my coffee and my taste buds. For more acidic and "wild flavored" coffees, like those from Ethiopia or Kenya, I use about 60% - 70% Third Wave Water and 30% - 40% straight distilled water to lower the overall hardness and accommodate that fruity acidity. For light-medium or medium roast coffees, particularly those from central or south America with more chocolate/caramel/nutty flavors, you can use it at nearly full strength. Like I said, it takes a little bit of trial and error to fit your personal tastes, but I enjoy how simple this makes the water portion of coffee. $18 makes 12 gallons of water which will last an insane amount of time if you, like me, make smaller cups (8oz.) and dilute to fit your taste. Despite my initial impressions, I am actually impressed and will keep using these moving forward.

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.

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.

It is hard to evaluate this product objectively. I use RO water and add this additive . My TDS on the RO water is 16. Considering the very hard tap water we have - it’s great. The hardness in our RO water is 0. When adding the third wave - hardness goes up, obviously, due to the addition of Mg and Ca. and TDS goes to 130-150. The pH of the new solution is 6.7, not ideal but acceptable. The only issue I have is the alkalinity: we shoot towards 40, but with the sticks I use, I can’t tell if it’s 0,40 or anywhere in between. I also noticed that the pH of the solution tends to rise toward 7+ over time... Taste: I think that there are so many variables in each shot I pull : distribution, tamping, room temperature, humidity etc- very difficult to say what is the relative contribution of this additive to my water. I am hoping that the added Mg is helping with the flavour extraction...., and that this solution is safe for my espresso machine ( LMLM). Summary : overpriced for sure, very convenient though, seems safe ( per la Marzocco people) and sometimes when I do a good job, coffee tastes like heaven!😊

It really does make your coffee taste better, thanks

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.

Yes, it does makes coffee flavor better. Yet, it's too expensive for every day use.

Highly recommend to use for your light roasts. I end up splitting the pack into 2 4L jugs. Take 100ml for each big jug, pour 1 pack into that 200ml container - give it a good shake up or mix. Add the 100ml back to each jug. 1/2 strength of this stuff if perfect for me. I thought about Lotus drops or Apax but this is just so much easier.
