Third Wave Water: Interview with Co-Founders Charles Nick and Taylor Minor (RR29)

Roast and Reason: A Coffee Podcast

Water makes up 98% of your coffee. But most of us hardly ever talk about it. Instead we focus on the coffee bean, how it is grown, roasted, and brewed. But water can make a huge difference.

Have you ever had this experience…you taste an amazing coffee in a coffee shop, buy the coffee to make at home and when you do it just doesn’t taste the same? Or maybe you can’t taste any of the floral or fruity flavors listed on the bag? Well, it could be the water!

Third Wave Water has a solution. They have developed a package of minerals that you can add to distilled water to create the optimal water for brewing coffee. I was a skeptic at first but their product really does make coffee taste better. The difference in flavor was noticeable right away.

In this conversation with co-founders Charles Nick and Taylor Minor we will discuss the importance of water for coffee brewing, the idea behind Third Wave Water, their business success including a successful Kickstarter campaign and appearance on Shark Tank, and most importantly how Third Wave Water can help you drink better tasting coffee.
