Tap v Fridge

On a recent visit I was scolded by coffee drinkers why I would use tap water over filtered water from a refrig water dispenser. Besides the fact I could fill a kettle instantly from the tap instead a glass at a time from the refrig across the room I said at best a charcoal filter might remove some mineral or bacteria. The boiling would take care of the bacteria and any mineral added its own taste which was a positive. I added I was saving on energy by not reheating cooled water. The discussion soon generated into what was the best bottled water for making coffee. Somebody added distilled had to be the best because it was the most pure. Then there was the chlorine argument which I added gets boiled away anyway. I like the chill water versus the tap for a drinking glass. In the summer tap water I find too warm. However from my well it is always cool. I also found out my brother-in-law who visited early had convinced everybody tap water was dangerous too your health. Since we were drinkng from the same kettle I had to obey the house rules.

PS The puer I deposited there several years ago which no one drinks is during quite nicely in the high humidity climate. It compares to HK. I did buy a shu bing supposedly stored in HK from the early eighties. It tasted good at the gongfu session but in the light of the day I paid too much. At least I didnt find it on TaoBao or anywhere else. I have some I bought in tongs in 04 which is also during well as it dries out and cures.
