#75: Getting Great Water for Coffee

August 14, 2025 · 1 h 14 min

Show notes

Water massively impacts your coffee's flavours. But most of us struggle to fix our water because water science is confusing...

Join me and James as we go step-by-step through:

  • Why these concepts matter for coffee flavour and equipment
  • How to test your water at home
  • How to fix it, depending on what you're working with

Check James' website for all of the visuals mentioned in the episode.
