What if we were to tell you that the one thing you needed to adjust to take your coffee to the next level was..... WATER!!

Did you know that you can make your own water (yes you read that correctly) specifically for brewing coffee, different types of coffee and coffee you want to serve in different ways?

If you make coffee at home you should listen to this.

If you work in the coffee industry, you should listen to this.

If you want to take your coffee from good to great, you should listen to this!

Seriously though, make sure you write some of this down because Simon and Jamie kindly share what you need to know about making quality water for your coffee.

This is an at times information loaded topic that we have tried to simplify so that you can make better coffee wherever you are.

Our goal from this podcast is to help you make coffee better wherever you are.

So please, listen to this and share as far as you can with all of your coffee making friends so we can make coffee better everywhere!
