I switched to a home water still, and the distilled water it produces is amazing. It tastes so silky, nothing like the gross distilled water from the store (probably because I store it in glass bottles only).

I highly recommend it.

After each batch, all the residue that remains in the boiling chamber is revolting. It smells absolutely vile. I can't believe I used to drink that.

I went with this instead of a filter after finding out most filters use plastic mesh screens, that actually increase the amount of plastic in the output water.
