Distilled water is the introvert of the water world. It’s created by boiling regular water into steam, then cooling that steam back into liquid. This process leaves everything else behind—minerals, bacteria, salt, and even that weird taste from old pipes.
So, what you get is pure H₂O. Nothing else. Not a single stray calcium ion. It’s too pure for its own good, honestly. It’s the water equivalent of a blank white room—perfectly clean, but kind of boring.
And here’s the kicker: because it’s so pure, distilled water is actually thirsty. It will try to absorb minerals from whatever it touches, including your mug or your coffee grounds. That’s why Lisa’s coffee tasted flat—the water literally stole flavor compounds and left nothing behind.
