Filtered water? You fucking poof! At work we serve two types of tea - clean tea and dirty tea. Clean tea is made using water taken from the espresso coffee machine as it's well filtered. Clean tea tastes foul. Dirty tea is made in the workshop with water boiled in an old scaly kettle, it tastes fucking lovely. -- Lozzo Versys 650 Inter-Continental Hyperbolistic Missile , CBR600F-W racebike in the making, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere) BMW E46 318iSE (it's a car, not one of those 2-wheeled pieces of shite they churn out)
Right, so not necessarily high in minerals, certainly not of the type that makes boiled water for tea so muddy. Try the same thing with a high-mineral water such as the French like so much and you'll be looking at a much _more_ dirty end-product than from the tap. Yes, I imagine it is. TBF it's not exactly expensive as a result, and is eminently drinkable, on it's own or for tea or coffee. You're not wrong. Hic! Serpently is. I have a couple of bottles at home still, courtesy of Colin and Pat, IIRC. Or maybe that was part of the stash we brought back from our November drive over to the UK. Only three or four bottles left, two of them Pedigree. Mmmm, Pedigreee blaaaaaaaarg...
A valid point, well made. I retract the stupid question remark. However the "inordinately rude reply" was, in fact, so polite that the vicar would not have even quivered his tea cup in its saucer had it been uttered from the lips of Englands sweetest blue haired old lady .
They've just put up another article now with an interview of the bloke who made it. He goes on about the efficiency savings of bringing all the suspension forces up to the headstock, which has to be strong anyway: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/06/michael-czysz-interview/
