Why do you have to use 'fresh water' when you heat water for coffee?
Is it alright to heat up the water that is already in the kettle from that morning or the night before? I always throw it out, but that seems so wasteful. Whats the deal?

Is a "Barrista" someone who works in a coffee bar in Italy?
As a barrista we're taught that there are four key components to coffee: freshness, grind, proportion, and water. If any one of these is off, you may find yourself wondering why your coffee doesn't taste as good as when you fork out 2 dollars for a cup down the street. Our water is tripple filtered, which can go a long way towards giving your coffee the right taste.

I am 52 and am still alive after restarting water that is old...actually they call it distilled....lol...very healthy

fresh water will give you that crisp taste sensation, changing the water keeps that happening! Plus, it is a health issue. Contaminations can occur overnight so, changing the water will keep you from getting sick! If you feel bad about throwing it down the drain, put it to good use with watering plants that you have or even the lawn outside!
Barista was an Italian term that has taken on an American coffee house concept. It's part of our lexicon now to mean "person who makes coffee beverages!"
Coffee is 98% water, so having fresh pure water is important in the overall output of delicious flavor.
Hope that helps!
