I'm an European, and that tinge of superiority is quite grating.

- Xylakant 5y agoI think “disgusting” is probably too hard of a word for it, but you can taste substantial differences in tap water in Germany and whenever I move it takes a bit of time until I get used to the local flavor. Berlin is different from Munich. Volvic tastes like Volvic tastes like Volvic and I can’t quite get used to the taste of Evian.
- MikeDelta 5y agoYou don't need a filter in Europe to make the water safer to drink because the tap water quality is tightly regulated and controlled, and tap-water is considered safe to drink. I can't speak about countries outside of Europe because I don't know their regulations. That's why I said Europe. Edit: After a bit more research I see that Western European tap water is mostly safe. Flavour is something else of course. If a filter helps than that is great. Healthier than mixing it with lemonade or coffee.
