Me too when I have it. Makes the best coffee. Otherwise I use the water from my Brita.

Tap water, since we live right next to Lake Erie and the tap water can't be beat, but it does cause calcium problems for our Bunn. Oh well, so it only lasts 15 years instead of 20... <shrug>

Little kids pee in Lake Erie. Adults pee in Lake Erie. Runoff from a huge watershed ends up in Lake Erie.

I'd like to buy a filter that can remove minerals!

Tap water works for me (the tap water here tastes fine), but I always fresh grind the beans.

Then buy one made for automotive use. The household ones don't remove minerals (because they're beneficial). The automotive ones do, because they cause water spots.

You can just run vinegar through it every so often to get it back up to the 20 years 😛

I have never once ever thought of using filtered water... interesting.

I use tap water, and I use pre-ground tim hortons blend coffee... tastes pretty good to me...

Tap. My coffee maker has a water filter in it.

I use water from the local nuclear power plant.

Tap, but I grind my beans (Starbucks beans from Kirkland bought at Costco....good stuff).
