The beauty of the Peak Water Pitcher Starter Pack is that it takes the water from your faucet and optimizes for ideal brew water! The process is very similar to drinking-water filtration pitchers. The Peak however, has a unique two-chamber design that consists of a dual-ion resin that has the capacity to remove all minerals from your water. The second chamber is made of carbon and combats unwanted organic compounds, only allowing the desired minerals through to the liner of the pitcher. The Peak is a great choice for those who want to work with the water they have at home without the hassle of ensuring there's distilled or RO water on hand at all times.

The stepless dial can be adjusted to meet the exact filtration for your unique water based on the results of your water test strip that comes complimentary with your starter pack.

Third Wave Water makes the process of getting water that lives up to SCAA water standards at home, a breeze. It can turn any distilled or reverse osmosis water into the ideal water for coffee! A single packet is filled with the perfect combination of minerals (sodium chloride, calcium citrate, and magnesium sulfate) to optimize one gallon of water. The only work you have to do is add Third Wave Water, shake, and you're ready to brew. TWW is also available in an espresso formula and 5 Gallon Sticks allowing you to optimize more water at once. TWW is a great option for those who want water that is up to SCAA standards and beautifully compliments "third wave" style beans.

Global Customized Water Perfect Cup Formula offers their AB formula to allow you optimize distilled or RO water to bring out the best flavors of your coffee. GCW comes with two dropper bottles — A and B, each with their own volumetric droppers. All that's needed is 1 ml, or full dropper, from each bottle to be added to your gallon to leave it perfectly balanced with sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and calcium chloride. This is a great option for those who don't mind keeping gallons of distilled water on hand and want to stretch their money, as each kit contains enough to treat nearly 30 gallons of water.

TDS or Total Dissolved Solids are one of those fun factors of your water that play a big role in the outcome of your coffee. The Third Wave Water TDS meter can quickly and accurately — within 2 % — determine the amount of minerals in your water. This knowledge can be useful in verifying the purity of your water before adding a supplement like the TWW water pack or dialing in your water the with Peak Water Pitcher. And if you're a coffee nerd like us, it's just fun knowledge to have. So, if you're the type of person who wants to geek out and measure the and determine how many inorganic and organic substances reside in your water, your friend's water, and maybe your parent's water too, this meter is probably a great option for you.

Peak Water Hardness Test Strips, unlike the TDS meter, test the carbonate hardness or total alkalinity of your water. This hardness level can have a huge impact on the flavor of your coffee. Water hardness varies across the globe, sometimes on the extreme ends of the spectrum, so this knowledge can not only help when brewing coffee, but also in your consumption, beer brewing, and baking needs too. These test strips come standard with Peak Water Pitcher Starter Kit and align with the dial, but are also free with any purchase when added to your cart. This testing strip is great for those who are looking for a one-time test to determine the hardness of the water in your town or city and help you make an educated choice on what water options are best for you.
