Built for this water
Leucosia
Soft water arrives almost empty and leaves the cup thin, sharp at the edges, short in the middle. Leucosia is roasted longer and blended heavier to put back what the water will not carry: weight, sweetness, a low finish that holds.

German utilities publish °dH, French and Italian ones °f, British and Irish ones ppm CaCO₃. Same water, three conventions — worth knowing if you compare your city with one abroad.
Of the 51 cities we publish, Dubai ranks 43rd by hardness.
