Can you taste differences in various kinds of water? - Lemmy.world

Are you a water connoisseur? I prefer my water from this one source - a tap in my grandma house. Frankly my house tap water is just 6/10. But her water is almost sweet it is very tasty. Is there a terminology to describe the taste of water?

Yes. The content of various common minerals can vary by orders of magnitude across different sources. Though I pay attention to this less on its own and more in the context of brewing tea, since the water you use affects the outcome quite a lot.

is there a measure (and solution) for this?

test kit, mass spec, centralized testing?

my cold brew tastes faintly like tap water and it bothers me

edit: I already use a brita, my water doesnt taste like tap water, but my cold brew does, weird.

I’m sure there is, though I’ve never looked into it. If it’s tap water, the approximate range for some of the minerals is usually on your local water quality report.
