“The specialty coffee industry has become incredibly precise about beans, roasting and brewing. Water should be treated with the same level of attention,” said Niklas Ivarsson, president of Bluewater Inc. “Water is one of the largest ingredients in every cup, yet it has traditionally been one of the least controlled. We want to change that.”

If we act now, we can avoid discovering the true health costs of plastic years from now, when the damage has already been done.
