There are water filters for this. I don’t know what your situation is, but a BWT water filter in a carafe is perfectly capable of removing most adjuncts and making water taste like water again. I use these filters to brew coffee, and when I have a fresh filter in place, I cannot tell the difference between that water and Volvic. And my resulting brew will give any respectable cafe a run for their money. From this taste test, I can infer that my filtered water is at least as blank a palate as the Volvic. If I brewed with regular tap, I would not get clear flavors from the coffee’s oils because the tap water has plenty of solids already dissolved and can’t hold the preferred coffee. I know of at least one high end coffee shop that uses BWT’s industrial filters - basically a canister the size of a 1L soda bottle. In reality, it would take an afternoon, some plumbing knowledge, and tools to install this at a home or office. I think there’s a huge niche market here to better equip homes for clean water with the added benefit that they aren’t using tons of plastic (the main downside from the small carafe filters). Of course there’s a lot more you can do to adapt your filtration of local water source. That’s because your tap water is treated and tastes funny because there are some dissolved chemicals or compounds. You can neutralize those with some basic ingredients. https://www.baristahustle.com/blog/barista-hustle-water-recipe/ https://www.baristahustle.com/blog/barista-hustle-water-reci...
