In case you weren't aware, your brewed coffee is 98% water. So it's hardly a stretch to say that what's in your water might matter where good flavor is concerned. But without a Ph.D in chemistry, some of the guides and recipes for brewing water can be downright difficult to absorb. That's where folks like Third Wave Water come in.

It's simple, really: Third Wave Water presents a solution (pun intended!) to brewing better at home, in case your water quality is iffy, variable, or just not up to snuff and ruining your coffee. Plus, if you want your coffee to taste the same when traveling, you can just bring a capsule or two along with you to use the same exact water you'd have back at home. Third Wave Water's mineral packets will each treat one gallon of distilled or reverse osmosis water, creating water that's balanced to a standard spec and designed to make your favorite coffees shine. We've become fast fans of their formula, but you don't have to take our word for it - top Brewers Cups competitors from across the US have used Third Wave Water for their brews!

Each packet contains a patent-pending blend of magnesium sulfate, calcium citrate, and sodium chloride. Simply add the contents of a capsule to a gallon of distilled or reverse osmosis water, shake to dissolve, and you're ready to brew! Please note that Third Wave Water is incapable of causing any amount of scale build up and is perfectly safe to use with your equipment.
