Bottled Water for Espresso?

[Tampest]

Hi all, I'm trying to decide what brand of water to use, for hooking up to an espresso machine through a flowjet. Any recommendations? I heard that Crystal Geysers are great, but they're hard to come by in Canada.

Heard Evian from the Alps is great; To me, water is water... can't really taste the difference.

Speaking of water, you should try this BLK water thing. It's literally "black", and it is supposed to have alot of nutrients...

I buy drinking water in the gallon jug and it seems to taste fine. I'll try the Crystal Geyser when I'm at the store next time.

Watch out of to hard water, it will destroy in long term your machine, or makes you service it more often

Thanks guys. I heard that some water is superior than others when it comes to pulling espresso or just brewing drip coffee. I guess the only way to find out is to actually try it.
