Well, I just tried it. It’s disgusting. I don't usually drink this stuff, but I suspect the filter on the intake valve failed, so it isn't being purified anymore. Under the light, you can see all these tiny particles floating in it, and the taste is revolting.

I drink more Jane than I do this water. It is truly 🙂

What about you all? Let me know what city you are in.

Good day to you all.
I’m checking in from Miami.
I’ve been drinking nothing but tap water lately.
Honestly, I find the tap water quite pleasant—much more agreeable than any bottled stuff...

Hello, everyone.
Writing this from Boise,
sipping on some tap water
from the sink.
Thanks, 👋

The damn thing finally launched.

Since I wasn't quite sure if the "here and there" option in the poll was asking about where the tap is located or just how often I'm drinking from it, I ended up clicking "I don't know"

Anyway, I'm based out of Chicago, and I usually just grab water from a bottle that stays in my fridge, which I fill up myself using the kitchen tap

So, I'm living here in Chicago and I just drink straight from the bottle sitting on my desk, which is actually just filled with tap water.

I'm buying Jane. I drink a whole bottle a day (1.5L)

And you just toss the water out...😁

I have one of those American-style refrigerators at home—you know the type, where the freezer is on the right and the freezer compartment on the left has issues with ice spilling out and water pooling. It’s equipped with about five different filters, and you can actually taste the difference when you drink from it versus just using the kitchen tap... though if you don't use the filters, the fridge basically does all the heavy lifting for purification itself.

California - Rolling Stone and some cheap booze - almost never from a bottle, I'm just too lazy!

I’m hanging out just outside of Washington, D.C. right now, sipping on some tap water—though honestly, my own supply comes straight from a private well back home. There's just something about that crisp, unfiltered taste, you know? Nothing beats it. 😛 )

Oh, absolutely. Always. Seattle has always had such incredible water quality—fingers crossed it hasn't changed 🙂. Whenever I travel elsewhere (say, visiting my grandmother out in the Midwest), the tap water there just tastes so bland and uninspired... I usually find myself reaching for a soda instead. But Seattle water? It totally rules!

I’ve had it both in Washington, D.C. and out in California... how much of a difference is there between water from the Colorado River versus the Mississippi?😲

Yeah, all the time!
I even gave that swamp water stuff a shot once, but man, it just wasn't for me. It’s one of those things—it's really just about getting used to it...

When I'm back home in the Midwest, I drink from the tap because it's actually decent. But once I head down to California, I always buy bottled... 🙂 the tap water there tastes absolutely revolting, almost like someone melted some cheap scrap metal into it.
(We've been buying our water there for years now.)

Location: Washington, D.C.
Method: Using a Brita filter
Why it beats tap water: Because tap water tastes pretty bland, whereas the Brita actually delivers the quality you expect.
