Scientists made espresso with sound instead of heat, and most drinkers couldn't tell the difference

Do you regularly use coffee for nasal rinses? In the context of the post, tap water is safely sterile. No water is ever perfectly sterile, though deionized, triple-distilled water comes close.


Your other points are sound, but this one is rather ridiculous. The air in an average home already contains several kilograms -- not grams, but kilograms -- of water, all of it aerosolized from outside your home, an environment far less sterile than tapwater.

Distilling water removes the minerals, metals, chemicals, while deionizing removes charged ions like sodium, calcium, and iron, neither kills bacteria. Sterilizing requires significantly higher temperatures and pressure for longer durations.
