Achieve Optimum Extraction According to the SCA water standard, your water should have around 150 total dissolved solids (TDS). TDS represents the amount of "stuff" in your liquid. This stuff can include organic matter, minerals, and even some chemicals, depending on your water source. If your water has more than 250 TDS, it won't be able to extract enough due to its high mineral content. On the other hand, if it's below 50 TDS, you won't achieve the right balance of sweetness and body in your coffee. Think of it like water carrying ions; the less it's carrying, the more it will stop and pick things up along the way. With the Classic and Espresso Profiles, Third Wave Water have crafted water profiles that falls within this optimal range to bring out the best in your coffee.
