That bolsters the argument for under-sink filter systems (upthread). I use a reverse osmosis filter that I think cost me $15 last time (no, it's not a reverse osmosis system, but the filters are comparable and filter much smaller particles) and it's good for about 12,000 gallons (this is with tap water, not well water, which in FL is incredibly disgusting and sulfur-y and would probably halve the life of a filter). Seems kind of pointless to only filter coffee, but not everything else that goes into your family (pets included). Filtered water also makes appliances last longer.

BTW, when you're making a sourdough, well water is actually preferable. I've got an amazing whole wheat sourdough that actually will not work at all with filtered or tap water.
