Does distilled water make decent tasting coffee and tea?

Question

And drinking it plain, is there any difference in taste to undistilled water?

Answer 1

Distilled water is NOT meant for drinking. You shouldn't use that to make coffee or tea. You should however use, spring water or tap water that's filtered. Drinking distilled water alone would taste awful. A lot of people use distilled water to clean their body piercings (like I do) or for cleaning the inside of appliances.

Answer 2

Less of a chance in deposits forming in your coffeemaker. I use filtered water myself. Great with my home-roasted beans.

Answer 3

To all people against distilled water.

Rain water is distilled water right?

Isn't rain water safe to drink if there's no pollution in the air?

Answer 4

It should taste better but thats also a personal preference. It will defiantly be cleaner. It will also not have anything in it to change the real taste of the coffee.

Answer 5

It is not good to drink distilled water.  It messes with your cell structure.. Like salt water to fresh-water fish

Answer 6

i like distilled..i taste the difference compared to tap water
