Well come on now, you can't talk about Icelandic hot water like everyone goes around drinking that sulfur-smelling crap all day. I love the Icelandic phrase, "It will come with the cold water," which means (I think) that it will take a while, as long as it takes for the cold water to flush out the hot when you change temps in the taps.
Anyway, the cold water here is fantastic, and I must say I've never tasted anything better from a tap elsewhere in the world. I grew up drinking well water from our property at home, have always drank from the tap through college and grad school, and have never bought bottled water except when I'm traveling in countries where the water might kill me.
I will admit to preferring Brita-filtered water when I'm drinking from city taps in the US, though. But otherwise, Icelandic water can't be beat!
