There is a Czech company Filtermac (“Lokni”) that doesn’t even offer tap water, only filtered. Your options are:

Install app, verify phone number, get
- free 0.5 liters (2 glasses) per day at select stations (train stations, plus unis if you are a student)
- access to subscriptions, the “unlimited” (still limited) tier is $8/mo I think
Pay with credit card, about half of what bottled water costs

The startup says it’s very successful. WTF? Tap water is already safe in my country so you can just pay $0.50 to access toilets (or jump the gate), many railway stations also have free taps.

I now realize what you mean, but I just woke up and for a good 3 seconds or so imagined you slurping toilet water.

I expect nothing else from the country with contactless payments for using the bathroom

Yeah look i wouldn’t sign up for this on principle because subscriptions are shit, but I do enjoy poncy overpriced water.

I don’t drink booze, smoke, or do drugs. I have a very restrictive diet and can’t even have a slice of cake once in a while.

You’ll have to pry my lightly sparkling imported Italian mineral water from my cold dead hands.

  StPellegrino is so good, only La Salvetat beats it (and perrier but only in those 33cl glass bottles, I don’t know why).
  
  What’s your favourite?
