    Germany: Takes third option and buys bottled water. Part of the reason is that carbonated water is really popular, and home carbonators are usually kind of difficult/annoying to clean properly. Also, restaurants often won’t serve tap water due to greed.

      I’ll never understand countries where restaurants don’t serve tap water for free… It feels so greedy (as you say) and doesn’t make me want to eat there…

      The biggest brand of home carbonators (Soda Stream) is an Israeli brand. Just something to think about.

      I drink Sprudelwasser with dinner and the rest of the day it’s just tap water. We live in an incredibly hard water area so tap water is basically mineral water.

      It’s a generational thing, too, though. At my parents’ place, they’ll look at me like I lost a limb when I drink tap water. Meanwhile, all the homies and homettes drink nothing but tap water.
