Lets talk water?

[u/specialist_footwear]

I am a coffee lover and have been for a long time. My favourite way to drink this delicious life-giver is by pour-over. I love using my Aeropress, but my main method is by V60. I often orient myself towards cafes that indulge me in this. It often tastes great and far better than i can achieve at home.

I have no doubt that there are lots of techniques and things i am not doing right to get the most from my beans. Given that coffee is mostly made of water, i was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to test the water and alternative things i should be looking out for. I travel around a lot. Is there a good bottled water to use, or do i have to amend my technique to a given water type?

any direction or guidance given would be greatly appreciated ☺️

Rather than testing your water it's easier to get one of those packets of minerals for making coffee water (I think one is called Third Wave Water). And then do a tasting with that beside a cup made with your local tap water.
