FAQ
How do I use empirical water?
Just pour it into your kettle or coffee machine, and brew up an unusually delicious cup.
Can I drink empirical water?
You may drink the brew water, and most people say it tastes slightly better than normal drinking water. That said, the water truly shines when used to brew coffee.
What's in the water?
empirical water consists of purified water and food-grade minerals which occur naturally in glacial and spring mineral waters, in comparable amounts.
Ingredients: Deionized water, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium sulfate, calcium carbonate, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium bicarbonate.
Will I need to descale?
This water does not build up enough scale to require descaling with normal use.
Can I put it in my coffee maker?
Yes, this water is purpose-built for coffee makers and other filter coffee brewing methods.
When does the water expire?
We tunnel pasteurize our aluminum bottles of water. As a result, the water will not expire, ever. That means you can stock up at the best price and drink amazing coffee for a long time.
What makes this different from other water?
It's all in the mineral composition. Each mineral ion plays a different role, as described higher up on this page. By using just the right amount of each ion, we are able to finetune the performance of the water. Furthermore, we dissolve limestone in our water using a special process also described higher up on this page. This allows us to produce silky smooth water that brings out all the sweetness, clarity and aromatics from coffee, with none of the harshness.
What does coffee brewed with this water taste like?
It tastes unusually delicious. Moderately better in every respect. More flavor, cleaner taste, more sweetness, higher clarity, more aromatics, less bitterness, less harshness, and a smooth, mouth-coating mouthfeel that brings an extended aftertaste with it.
It sounds too good to be true, but it really does improve every single characteristic of coffee, even the appearance.

It all started with specialty coffee, but it has become so much more.
I design mineral profiles for culinary applications. It's an uncommon profession, but to me it's perfectly natural.
I drink, cook with, and brew with fine mineral water, because it is key to great culinary experiences like coffee.
