When I had my kitchen remodeled and bought a new refrigerator I got one that had filtered water and ice in the door. Since that time coffee and everything else tastes better. Also, some coffee makers come with a built in filter too. Those filters remove chlorine taste completely. Joan In a message dated 1/18/2009 2:05:00 P.M.

Sometimes the faucet does too if not been used in a bit (mainly first thing in morning). When I moved here I had terrible heartburn until I figured out it was the water causing it. Quit drinking the water, the heartburn went away. -tracy
