Water massively impacts your coffee’s flavours. But most of us struggle to fix our water because water science is confusing……until now! In this special collaboration with Lucia Solis (Making Coffee podcast), I guide her through the two most important concepts you need to understand to get great-tasting water for coffee: hardness and alkalinity.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 withThese aren’t one of my usual narrative episodes—they’re a straightforward, practical guide to help you take control of your water.By the end of these episodes, you’ll be able to say: “I know what good water for coffee is and how to get it”.I hope it helps you as much as it helped Lucia.Check my website for all the visuals mentioned in this episode, including: SCA graph for excellent water (the “map”)Map of different water hardness across ParisMy Berlin water reportThe nightmarish table of conversions…Results from my water tests in my Berlin studioBottled water brands rated for their hardness and alkalinityPlease spread the word about The Science of Coffee!
