Are you American? Who needs filters for tap water?

When I lived in Warsaw tap water tasted like public swimming pool water after boiling old shoe for an hour.

Can confirm, left out some prepositions, must be Slavic

Guilty as charged.

No need to resolve to anti-americanism, water is fine where I live, it just tastes better with a filter

Filters can get rid of unwanted minerals and some machines like espresso machines require cleanest water. I have some of the best tasting drinking water in the world, almost iceland level but it has high limestone content and I need to filter it twice for my espresso machine.

Some European tap water is disgusting, I'm sorry to inform you
