my water tank water used to taste bad and I didn't use it for
drinking or coffee.  That was when I filled the tank with the garden
hose.  Then I made a hose out of that hose that is used to connect a
refrigerator.  I think it's 1/4" ID.  cost about $0.07 per
foot.  Fitting to go on the end to connect to a standard hose faucet,
couple more $.  It's small enough to easily take along on trips and
it coils itself back up.  To fill, I clip the hose to the cover of
the water fill inlet.  I know running 5 minutes is about 5 gallons.
