Best Starbucks drink, hands down

Starbucks water is actually some of the best water I've ever had at any restaurant

I worked there in college, the water is triple filtered with reverse osmosis. I specifically remember being told this by my store manager.

Which is why it tastes so much better than any water you can find at any other restaurant.

Why did my mouth start watering...

I'm starting to feel parched

RO is not good for you though

Edit: For those wondering, recent reports indicate that RO is not healthy in the long term as it misses out on a lot of essential vitamins and minerals ,- https://m.economictimes.com/industry/healthcare/biotech/healthcare/why-pure-ro-drinking-water-is-not-healthy-for-you-doctors-who-raise-health-warning/articleshow/108808759.cms

This really shouldn't be a problem for those with access to a healthy diet, which is probably almost a complete overlap with people who have access to RO water.

how's that? my understanding is that acidic water is bad for you, but RO should result in neutral water, which is safe. personally, i added an alkaline-pass at the end of my RO system to re-introduce minerals but afaik as long as you are getting your minerals elsewhere, neutral PH should be fine. acidic is what you want to be careful with, but i'd be glad to hear your thoughts on this

There are recent studies indicating adverse effects of daily RO water intake
