Also is London and Bristol water considered 'hard'? I'm in Norfolk and our water is very hard (so I use bottled water) so interested to see if it would make difference here.
London depends where you are. SE London where I grew up it’s reasonably hard but quite drinkable out the tap and makes a nice cup of tea. Western outskirts near Staines/Egham it’s disgusting tasting. Really chlorinated and every fitting round the house is constantly covered in limescale. Tea tastes horrible and brews with a thick scum. Coffee is lousy at best and it’s just a waste of good coffee here unless the water is heavily filtered.
That said, Illy coffee seems to respond very well to my shitty-tasting local water so I can actually make reasonably good espresso with a supermarket coffee. In Beckenham it tasted horrible though!

Interest to know what you all think of the Peak for filter coffee after a week or so of use.
