Blak Koffee

Louisville Water’s Made With Pure Tap debut spotlighted Blak Koffee, located at 1219 W. Jefferson Street. Owner Ronyale Smith opened Blak Koffee in April 2023 to provide a space in West Louisville where people can meet with colleagues, use complimentary wi-fi, work remotely, and feel a sense of community and culture. Blak Koffee serves specialty coffees and beverages, pastries, sandwiches, soups, and salads.

“A great cup of coffee starts with great tasting water and I know that Louisville Pure Tap makes a difference in the quality of our coffees and espressos.”

Rivergreen Cocktails

Danielle Mann saw an opportunity in the growing spirit-based ready-to-drink market, given the lack of “a proper cocktail” in the gin space, and that’s how Rivergreen Cocktails was born. The canned cocktail company right here in Louisville, Kentucky uses premium gin, real fruit juice, natural flavors and Louisville Pure Tap in each of their delicious and award-winning recipes.

“A good water source is really important
for our canned cocktails. Louisville Pure
Tap is the best water in the country.”

Elixir Kombucha

In 2015, two Louisville-based healthcare professionals with a passion for gut health were given an opportunity to turn their countertop kombucha project into a business. Now, their award-winning Elixir Kombucha is the top selling locally-based kombucha in all of Whole Foods’ Midwest region.

“Making great kombucha starts with
having a great source of water, so we
are lucky to be in the city with the
nation’s best water, Louisville Pure Tap.”

Above the Dirt

Above the Dirt, owned by Paula Henson, is a welcoming haven for plant enthusiasts and novices alike. Paula has long dreamed of sharing her passion for plants with the local community. She is passionate about inviting people into a shop that fosters a safe, inclusive environment where everyone can learn and grow together, and nurture a shared love for plants.

“We use Louisville Pure Tap literally all day every day. We’re buddies with other plant stores around the country and not everybody is able to simply use their tap water. The quality of water that we have here in Louisville is actually a rather big deal!”

Rabbit Hole Distillery

As we like to say, it takes great water to make great bourbon. Rabbit Hole Distillery owner Kaveh Zamanian moved to Kentucky after he met his wife, a Louisville native. Surrounded by bourbon country, Zamanian’s passion for bourbon grew and he was inspired to create his own spirits company.

“In addition to the grains, Louisville Pure Tap® is a critical part of what goes into our products. One of the most important things when it comes to water is to make sure that you don’t have iron and sulfur, essentially ingredients that are not good for bourbon production. One of the most important things about Louisville Water and Louisville tap (water) is that it’s essentially good water, perfect for distilling.”

MozzaPi Artisan Pizza

MozzaPi prides itself on using the highest quality ingredients to craft its signature wood-fired pizzas, focaccia bread, cookies, and pastries. Their mission is to bake with simplicity but also provide savory flavors that leave their guests coming back for more. Head baker Robyn McLaurin says Louisville Pure Tap is key to the recipe.

“Our pizza dough, we only use three ingredients- flour, salt, and water. So, the quality of water is very, very important to what we do here at MozzaPi. Having clean, pure water here in Louisville is absolutely amazing! You don’t get that everywhere in the country. We are so thankful that we don’t have to bring in water or use any type of bottled water for that process.”
