re: Let's talk coffee - what's the best way to brew it?

Water is definitely key. In Colorado, I don't give a damn, and use water from my sink. But in Louisiana, I double filtered it before brewing. I couldn't finish a cup when my roommate brewed it from sink water.


It's the same reason I think Abita sucks, poor water quality.

I'm not surprised you have a special water filter for coffee. The only person ice known who has roasted their own beans, is a Brazilian in law, raised on a coffee farm.
