    Does it taste any different? I have a big britta jug but I'm intrigued by the triple filtered starbucks water lmao

    Have you considered getting a water filter? I bought a bottle that I pour tap water into and it filters the water for me. Only downside is having to constantly refill the filter bottle

    While I usually just drink filtered tap water, I’d have to say I prefer it bottled. I really cannot stand tap water, at least where I live. I also prefer my water cold so I’ll usually chill a few bottles at a time. We recycle in our house so I don’t feel as bad about using the plastic bottles.

    Honestly yes I think so! It’s hard to kinda describe the taste; just fresh and cold! I do have a Britta but work at Starbucks so I find myself just constantly going in to fill up my bottle. I love having a Britta filter at home though ifs very convenient but buying the filter can be a pain! ;__;

    I've had tap water in NYC and it tastes horrible (still drink it tho lol) while some bottled water also taste terrible depending in how
    they've been stored. Lets say those plastic bottles have been under the sun for a long time and then you put them in the fridge or just
    drink it room temperature, it'll taste really bad!

    Honestly, for where I live, I prefer bottled water. Here we use 5 Gallon Water bottles and refill our fridge water with that and change it weekly.
    I have 2 in my apartment and the taste (which is nothing basically lol) is good

    But I believe tap water is good when they keep the maintenance

    Where I'm from, the tap water is perfectly fine. So I always fill my bottle with tap water - no need to buy bottled water here. However, in other parts of the world, bottled water is recommended. So for me, I guess it depends on where I am in the world. If I know that tap water is safe to drink, I'll always choose tap water.

    Lol I get this comment semi often but really, I have never really had Dasani where I tasted it and thought it tasted 'off' or 'dirty' like some people say it tastes... but I definitely do not prefer it to the other brands listed. We had Dasani in the break room at work and I was totally fine with it I do prefer refilling something for the fridge though, not bottled water, if that is any consolation... LOL

    Tap water is alright where I'm from state-wise depending on the area but I prefer to drink it filtered from the fridge or from a Brita filter.

    I like bottled water too but not if it's been sitting out for too long (especially in the heat, yikes) and only if it has a cooler temperature. I'm not super super picky about brands but there have been a few times where I've had cheap slightly off-tasting water in college. It was advertised as spring water, but I can't recall the brand name.

    Speaking of college. The tap water there was horrifying and I absolutely refused to drink it due to not only the funky flavor, but the one time I added some to my Keurig and found a giant bacterial colony floating in it after I had gotten really sick from making a drink. Thank god I don't live there anymore.

    Tap as long as it's filtered. I am not a fan of bottled water, they all taste strange to me, but if there is no other option I'll drink it.

    Where I live, the tap water tastes great. I prefer to keep a jug of it cooled in the fridge then drink it from there.
    When I am overseas/travelling I always drink bottled water if regular is anyway sketching. I hate gastro. LOL
