NEW York City opens its first water-only café, selling only tap water for a large price, $US1 for a cup.
The café’s co-owner Adam Ruhf told Reuters that their water is cleaner and healthier than regular tap water, with no trace of any chemical or mineral compounds.
“The human body is composed of 60 to 70 per cent water. It’s extremely important for people to drink water every day and we feel that drinking the most pure water gives you the greatest benefits to your health,” he told Reuters Television.
This is shown by a very complicated purifying system situated behind the bar. The purifying system strips the cities tap water down to its molecular level – hence the Cafe’s name Molecule, Sky News reports.
“It’s a seven stage filtration process going through KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion), magnetic and catalytic, active-carbon-five-micron reverse osmosis, UV and ozone treatments,” Ruhf explained.
And for the extra healthy customers, the café offers a wide range of supplements that customers can add to their drinks for a dollar each.
