Third Wave Water Classic Light Roast For Brewing The Best Coffee Classic Profile 12 Single Gallon Sticks As

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. Read more

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. Read more

Wanting to take my homebrewing to the next level, I started using third wave packets on the suggestion of a local roaster. I was skeptical, and tested it against several other waters. All in all I compared: Third Wave classic profile Purified drinking bottled water Fiji natural spring bottled water Brita filtered water tap water I used a light roasted natural processed Columbian bean with roaster's notes of "raspberry, lime, cherry cordial", or in other words, fruity and acidic. I used the same manual pourover recipe with Kalita Wave for each water type. Overall the Third Wave packet mixed into a gallon of distilled water produced the best results and it really wasn't close. The cup had great vibrancy, acidity, fruitiness, and clarity of flavor. The Brita filtered tap water was the 2nd best, the cup had fair amounts of vibrancy and acidity, but really lacked any clear and distinguished fruity characteristics; it just tasted like a good acidic cup of coffee. In summary, third wave packets have basically ruined all other water for my coffee brewing at home. It's not the most affordable option (about $2.30 per gallon of water) but I mean we're also buying $20-30 twelve ounce bags of beans. Did we really get into specialty coffee to pinch pennies? If you want to take your coffee at home to the next level, and you enjoy dynamic light or medium roasted single origin beans, I'd recommend giving this a try. Read more

I’ve been using Third Wave Water for my pour overs and moka pot for the last couple years. It’s an easy way to improve your coffee. Just add to a gallon of distilled water and shake and you’re done! With 12 sticks of minerals, that’s 12 gallons worth of espresso! I only drink espresso a couple of times during the week, so this will last me quite some time. If you’re into a traditional style espresso using medium dark to dark beans, this water mineral packet will help greatly. I highly recommend it Read more

We love our coffee and ever since we tried Wave Water, we haven’t looked back! What a difference it makes to your cup of joe! It definitely brings out the flavor! Worth every penny and will continue to use Wave Water for our coffee. Read more

Bought this seeking to enhance the flavor profile of our espressos. Went through three 1 gallon batches of this product (mixed in distilled water) and it has yielded zero discernible difference in flavor from our usual plain filtered-water morning Lavazza espressos. Money spent for no value added in our case. Will not buy (or use) again. The alleged scale buildup improvement claims have been countered in other reviews by some espresso machine owners. Read more
