It’s a basic concept of Lemmy & PieFed, so I imagine lots of people care.

I’ve played around with water twice, most recently within the past couple of weeks.

My house has well water which is very clear and refreshing, but relatively hard. We have a water softener, so what comes out of the tap has 0 hardness.

That doesn’t mean there’s nothing in it, just no calcium (or magnesium, I think).

My water is also pretty basic (high pH).

Soft, basic water can lead to boring coffee from what I’ve read.

Most recently I followed the instructions at Barista Hustle to make my own water using distilled water, baking soda, and epsom salt.

I’m loving the espressos I’m getting, so the next thing for me to do is switch back to my well water and see if gets noticeably worse.

To answer your question, though – it depends on your water.

Look for a water report from your municipality. If things are pretty reasonable, a filter may not change your coffee game.

I’ve heard that RO filters are the best type, but you may end up removing too much good stuff. In that case you can re-add your own minerals to taste.

Interesting.

It makes sense to crowd source this type of thing, but I wonder if BW will do the right thing and share the database?

They asked the deceased, too.

Good point, I see that in the definition of access=private.

In Google street view there is a sign which to me appears to support access=private. Maybe you can visit in person to confirm. https://maps.app.goo.gl/cPwdin7944UKLykx7

Edit: On the other side of campus, those signs only prohibit cars and motorized vehicles, so maybe there’s no restriction on pedestrians.

I would consider adding the tag access=private (more detail here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access). If you want to dig deeper and set hours for when it might be acceptable to walk through there, you could probably accomplish that with a conditional restriction https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conditional_restrictions but then the problem is “does CoMaps respect conditional tags”. I don’t know the exact answer to that, but my AI slop answer is that it should respect access=private, but if you make it conditional (add times, etc.) CoMaps won’t respect those limits.

If I’m looking at the place you’re thinking of, the route that goes through the school yard is of the type “driveway”. Since you’re familiar with that area, you could keep it as a driveway or change it to something more accurate.

Keep in mind once you update OSM, CoMaps will only include it during their next cycle which I think corresponds to app updates.
