Water Service in New York City
When preparing a coffee beverage, water is just as important as the coffee in New York City. Since water represents more than 98% of the beverage, it is important to use a filtration system for your New York City municipal water source.
Water in New York City is rarely pure. It contains chemical compounds in an infinite variety of combinations and concentrations that can cause unusual tastes, odors or colors. Water can also contain living organisms, such as bacteria or molds, which the municipalities treat chemically with chlorine.
Water, Chlorine and Your Coffee in New York City
Chlorine by itself has a low threshold concentration for both water (5 ppm) and for coffee (100 ppm). The problem is that chlorine from the water often combines with the phenols from the coffee to produce a chlorophenol, which has an objectionable medicinal taste that can be detected at an extremely low level of concentration (0.001 ppm). While chlorophenol is not harmful to humans, we believe chlorine should be removed by some type of activated carbon filter prior to coffee brewing.
