Evidence Quote

I just can't recommend this to you I can't in all good conscience in good faith recommend something that is ultimately wasteful and environmentally unsound it's definitely a solution and if you are occasionally in need of some special water or some better brewing water yes mineral water is an option I just feel like it's a very stupid solution to a problem
