Third Wave Water Classic Light Roast For Brewing The Best Coffee, Classic Profile, 12 Single Gallon Sticks, As Seen On Shark Tank

I wasn't sure this was doing anything until I ran out and my espresso tasted flat and boring. My wife even noticed and asked if something was wrong with the coffee (LOL). Now she fully supports my nerdy coffee water. Its so cool being able to chase tasting notes and experience everything that coffee beans have to offer. Try it out for a week, then switch back to your normal coffee water. Sorry.

I'm genuinely surprised at the difference in flavor that this made. I use a moccamaster and good beans freshly ground on a Ode grinder...the coffee was already really good. This brought it up to on par with the best cafe drip coffee I've had. I strongly recommend it.

Super coffee with it

I've used two different profiles and find they definitely improve coffee flavor, as well as feeling of 'smoothness' or 'silkiness' in the mouth. The difference is sufficiently great that, once I started using Third Wave Water, I've never stopped. Now, I must keep an eye on the supply chain of distilled water - which turns out to be a bit erratic. Anyway, I have repeatedly noted that the crystals are very slow to dissolve - even with much agitation. I went so far as to take out a cup of distilled water from the new jug, heated it to near boiling, tried to dissolve the crystals and then re-introduce that hot cup with the crystals back into the entire gallon. No luck! Still nowhere near fully dissolved. With repeated observations, I find I must wait about two days at room temperature with occasional shaking of the jug to have reliable, full dissolution. In practice, this means I plan ahead so as to not let myself run out of usable Third Wave Water. If I'm going to the extra effort and expense, I want to have the full benefit - which is excellent. If I don't plan ahead, and start dissolving early, I wind up having my initial, partly-dissolved water too dilute and subsequent aliquots too concentrated. This is not really irksome. I used to brew using a manual espresso machine; a lot of effort for a cup of coffe. Now I use Nespresso pod-type machine. Much less work and mess. So, a small extra effort to have the best water, doesn't spoil it for me; just an additional step in the τέχνη of really good coffee

I love these as a solution to the problem of coffee water. Rather than worry about the ph and mineral balance of your tap, or mess around with expensive spring water to find what you like best, you can just buy dirt cheap distilled water, add a packet, and rest assured that you have a perfect mineral balance for your coffee. The water I make with these results in delicious light roast filter coffee, and I’m looking forward to trying their other roast profiles. They’re also surprisingly inexpensive; 12 gallons of water should last months, and assuming a 12 oz cup of coffee, these only cost about $0.13 per cup, which is a small price to pay for the increase in quality. I have not tried any competing coffee water solutions, of which I know there are a few, but I’m very happy with these.

It is hard to evaluate this product objectively. I use RO water and add this additive . My TDS on the RO water is 16. Considering the very hard tap water we have - it’s great. The hardness in our RO water is 0. When adding the third wave - hardness goes up, obviously, due to the addition of Mg and Ca. and TDS goes to 130-150. The pH of the new solution is 6.7, not ideal but acceptable. The only issue I have is the alkalinity: we shoot towards 40, but with the sticks I use, I can’t tell if it’s 0,40 or anywhere in between. I also noticed that the pH of the solution tends to rise toward 7+ over time... Taste: I think that there are so many variables in each shot I pull : distribution, tamping, room temperature, humidity etc- very difficult to say what is the relative contribution of this additive to my water. I am hoping that the added Mg is helping with the flavour extraction...., and that this solution is safe for my espresso machine ( LMLM). Summary : overpriced for sure, very convenient though, seems safe ( per la Marzocco people) and sometimes when I do a good job, coffee tastes like heaven!😊

If you're a chemist, there are cheaper ways of accomplishing the same thing. However, if you just want easy and convenient, this is for you. I dump one pouch into a gallon of Crystal Geyser water and the powder is so fine it dissolves immediately. I could taste the difference when using the analogous product for pour over, but with espresso I honestly cannot taste a difference. For me it's all about not creating a ton of scale in an expensive espresso machine. Fingers crossed that it lives up to that promise.

My first time writing a review. But this stuff deserves it. I could never it my coffee to taste good. I've tried all different coffees and a bunch of different machines. Nothing worked. I have hard well water. I got this today and tried it right away. Best home coffee I've had in 13 years. It's as good or better than a coffee shop.

Upped the flavour profile of my espresso on my NEW RANCILIO SILVIA X PRO!! ❤️❤️❤️

I'll be honest, I was honestly a little skeptic about a product like Third Wave Water and if it would really make that big of a difference to the taste and clarity of my coffee. Long story short, I now have a subscription for this product through Amazon. The point of Third Wave Water is it is the perfect mix of minerals to add to distilled water for making coffee. Having done a side-by-side comparison of coffee made with filtered water and a brew made with Third Wave Water, the difference is almost night and day. The filtered water coffee wasn't necessarily bad, but there is a clarity in the flavour profile of the coffee made with Third Wave Water that is truly incredible. If you are like me and enjoy buying and brewing coffee from speciality roasters and really want to get everything you can out of the beans, Third Wave Water will not disappoint you. Truly a game changer.

Highly recommend to use for your light roasts. I end up splitting the pack into 2 4L jugs. Take 100ml for each big jug, pour 1 pack into that 200ml container - give it a good shake up or mix. Add the 100ml back to each jug. 1/2 strength of this stuff if perfect for me. I thought about Lotus drops or Apax but this is just so much easier.

Saw this product on Shark Tank - the sharks said nobody would ever buy jugs of distilled water and put this powder into it just to put into their coffee machine - they were wrong. I have this product on auto order, I buy gallons of distilled water and have been doing it for years. The coffee is less acidic and less bitter, and far more flavourful. Moreover, whenever someone new comes over they always comment about how the coffee is incredible and ask what coffee I'm buying. They leave with 1 jug of distilled water and 1 sachet of the powder and almost every time, they have also become a regular buyer and user. I should really get a commission by now lol My only gripe is the cost - it is pretty expensive given what you get But otherwise it works as advertised, makes the coffee delicious, and even unknowing guests comment about the coffee until I tell them the secret. If you want to try and make your coffee better - this is the thing.
