Regular water is for living. Drink it, cook with it, swim in it. It’s been with us forever and does the job. Distilled water is for niche situations where purity matters more than taste or minerals.
So next time your friend flexes their distilled water, you can nod knowingly. It’s not better or worse—it’s just water that went on a spa retreat and came back boring. Just remember: one is for your body, the other is for your espresso machine. Don’t mix them up unless you enjoy flat coffee and confused bones.
Now go drink some tap water. You’ll be fine. I promise.
