I have one of those pitchers that I mainly use to get rid of the chlorine taste in the tap water, but are the actual health claims about drinking filtered water actually true? There are claims that these dinky little passive filters can get rid of things like lead and PFAS which I honestly don’t believe. Especially if you’re using it with tap water which I’d assume would always have some kind of active filtration before it gets to your home, so the idea that whatever got past the industrial grade filter at the water treatment plant can be caught by a little plastic one sounds more than a little fishy to me. Anyone have knowledge about this.
You’re correct, unsure why this got a downvote. Think of how distilled water feels weirdly slick in the mouth, almost a bit like glycerin. Soluble minerals are chemically grippy on the grounds and between the tastebuds. Their absence leads to underextracted coffee.
