The Durban roasters had and found it really interesting. We used a brix, TDS, refractometer and some standard other tests.
| Water | Guatemala Washed | Ethiopia Natural | TDS | ALK PPM | PH |
| RO Water | High Acidity, Unbalanced, Strange flavour | High Acidity, Unbalanced, Strange flavour | 0.02 | 40 | 6.2 |
| Boiler Water | Unanimous vote as best flavour | Unanimous vote as best flavour | 145 | 40 | 8.4 |
| Durban Water | Surprisingly not bad, very close to Boiler | Surprisingly not bad, very close to Boiler | 109 | 80 | 8.4 |
General notes: Darker roasts (Natural) more forgiving. RO (Reverse Osmosis) produces completely unbalanced coffee, terrible in the cup.
