today we're gonna talk about the best jug, the best water filtration jug.

When it comes to coffee, there's a few contenders here Now.

Adverbs of manner

This is kind of a part, too, from the part one being the review of the Peak Water Jug, where it seemed only sensible to compare its performance against other leading water filtration drugs in the market.

We've got the industry leader, I guess probably.

It came with three filters, so you are very much good to go, so you know good value.

We've cut one of these open in the past, and if you didn't see that, I'll stick in a link in the description down below so he can see what's inside a brutal water filter filter.

This is their magnesium water filter, which is interesting because it's adding magnesium as well as reducing hardness.

Second of a two for one really pretty cheap.

So overall, yep, pretty cheap to get going on the end.

Here we have an interesting little product.

It's called the Zero Water Jug, and it does what it says on the tin it takes your waters TDs total dissolved solids down to zero.

Emphatic comes with the TDs meeting, which is kind of interesting, which will be using later on.

So it may not be ideal for coffee because you do want some minerals, but it it seemed worth comparing in a way we started here at the peak.

They are starting to fulfill those Kickstarter orders first.

So if you're ordering this right now, on the day that this video is published, it's gonna be a little while before you get one.

But it is substantially more expensive, but it's also remain much, much, much smaller company.

Peak water is, in essence, kind of a startup compared to much, much, much bigger companies here, so unsurprising that a small run thing from a small company costs a lot more.

First, we're gonna do some objective testing we're going to see what these filters do to the water.

That the total amount of stuff dissolved in there?

And then what does it do to the general hardness and the cabinet hotness?

Those two things measure the kind of calcium levels in the water which impacts how water extracts on, then impacts the also the alkalinity, which kind of impacts the experience of the coffee, the acidity of the coffee, the flavor.

There's a caveat here, which is we're gonna be working with London water, which is high in both calcium on DDE, in alkalinity.

It's very good at extracting coffee and then making it just taste of brown nothingness because it has pretty high alkalinity, too.

So if you live in a soft water area, these kind of drugs may not be necessary.

Maybe this one here that's trying to something a little bit more complex might suit you, But for many people, soft water, you're kind of fine.

This is really I suppose, Taylor that people who live in heart of water areas who want to make great tasting coffee at home once we've assessed the impact of those things.

Onda kind of the quality and build of each of these jugs.

We'll do some head to heads that I'll explain when we get to that portion of the video.

And at the end, we should have a recommendation of which of these jugs makes the best tasting coffee.

I'm not going to show you me testing every single one of these because that would be a spectacularly boring video so we can cut us a nice little B roll and I'll be right back with the results.

I'll share a quick table of everything now and then I'll talk you through it.

In many ways, it reduced the hardness a good amount, but still left him there on reduced the our community in a way that should be fairly balanced between the two.

The Britta was a little bit of a surprise.

Now I should say that these have been primed and prepped, but this is the first time really, that they're filtering water.

This was surprisingly effective at reducing, but the calcium on the air community.

So the hardness and the ocular anti both of them came down.

Those are really pretty low now, and that's kind of a not a concern, But But the thing to note, a loss, I say that from experience.

How this is performing now is not how it performs in a month from now.

Of all of the filters here, I just don't know.

So this is interesting to me that there was not a substantial reduction in general hardness.

There is gonna be some magnesium added, which is interesting, So it'll be even more capable of extraction in an interesting way.

But the alkalinity that came way, way down, so so that for me is definitely one where I'm curious how that's gonna taste in coffee.

I just don't know on with this I do think maybe it's more suited to softer water areas where you're trying to add a little bit of something interesting through magnesium, but but in hard water.

The zero water did exactly what we expected it to.

The TDs dropped to zero, and therefore the hardness and everything else dropped to zero.

I generally wouldn't recommend brewing in any way with zero TDs water.

It will slowly dissolve things like the inside of a coffee machine, for example, whether you need to potentially blend in some filtered, clean tasting but hard water into this to get a good result.

That's that's may be a way around this, but that's frustrating, annoying and not really what you want to do.

But it seems important to include this in the test, just to see how it tastes as much as anything else.

So the original water was very slightly alkaline on for these two filters.

It stayed pretty much the same pH with these two filters, it came pretty much just a bang on seven.

So not a huge shift in Ph with any of these, which is, I suppose, a good thing overall again.

Whether water is acidic or alkali or neutral will impact how potentially corrosive it is or how likely to scale it is as well.

So now on to the taste test and here's the way it's gonna work.

We're gonna go head to head because I've only got two kettles.

What will do to try and make this a bit more interesting is do three a B tests.

So three different coffees, each brewed with two different waters on I will pick a favorite blind from each of those three.

And one of these jugs will win out each time to try and make it a bit more diverse.

I had a little root around the studio to see what coffees we have lying around washed 100 coffee from foolin in Tokyo that was sent to me.

So will brew that is one of the coffee's.

We've got a natural Gesher from Ethiopia from slurp coffee that was sent to me.

So that'll be the kind of fruity, very naturally type thing I suspect.

I wanted something a bit more developed as a roast, so this is actually an espresso roast.

It's darker than I would want to drink his filter, but it seemed sensible.

Toe have a more developed roast on here to see if if one jug skewed betterthan more developed roasts than another thes the three coffees were gonna brew.

It's gonna take three rounds so we'll do this one versus this one, and then we'll do this one versus this one and then a final of whichever one makes it through.

Those two going to be using Michael's help here to make sure that I'm doing these blind.
