Or filters plumbed into your drinking water mains supply?

Despite where we live, the drinking water quality had deteriorated awfully, so much that a light scum appears on top of the tea in our glass teapot. And this scum doesn't help but mar the otherwise lighter brown-colour of our favoured Assam, Darjeeling or Chinese Yunnan. And then I bought a well known water filter jug that takes plug-in filter modules.

The difference is not only clear, but the taste of the tea is exactly as it should be. Don't ever even think of drinking French tap water. It's gross. That is why most drink bottled mineral water such as Evian. The same applies to Greece though it was a long time ago we went to Kos on vacation. And the trip we took to Italy yielded nothing but awful tap water. A journey to a supermarket with a borrowed sack trolley got me several heavy packs of mineral water, only for it to fur up the kettle with its chalk. Next time if we ever venture out to Genoa, we'll take a filter jug.

A water filter vastly improves the taste of tea and coffee. Do you use a water filter?
