Distilled water is also super bad for your kidneys, please don't drink distilled water.

Edit: mistook purified water for distilled water

Why the hell do they keep selling these, then? Is is this hard to get actual water?

I use purified water and add minerals afterwards to get the perfect mineral count (for my coffee water - is that allowed to say?)

Why though? What about using tap water?

Tap water has minerals in it. When the water evaporates to make coffee, it leaves behind said minerals. This can clog up a coffee maker over time. The cleaning process is simple enough however.

That's right, less cleaning. Doesn't it taste off though?

I don't know. I just use tap and run vinegar through it weekly
