Filtered water is for living. Distilled water is for your espresso machine and your grandma’s steam iron. Don’t overthink it. If you’re standing in the aisle, sweating because you can’t decide, just grab the filtered one. Your taste buds will high-five you, and your humidifier will survive another day.
And if you really want to save money? Get a faucet filter. It’s like a Brita pitcher but with commitment issues—it stays put, and you never have to wonder if it’s still attached. Plus, you avoid that moment of panic when you realize the pitcher is empty and you’re dying of thirst at 2 AM.
So next time someone asks, “Filtered or distilled?” just smile and say, “Depends if I’m drinking or cleaning my flat iron.” They’ll think you’re a water genius. You’re welcome.
