I test both Third Wave Water's Espresso Profile and Coffee Water's mineral packs, along with tap water, filtered water, distilled water, and Evian spring water. I go into the Specialty Coffee Association recommendations, and see which waters meet the SCA standards.

Recipes from Taylor of Third Wave Water (as of 2017): home-barista.com/water/third-wave-water-t44736.html
TWW basic: 1.1g magnesium sulfate, 0.3g calcium citrate, 0.1g sodium chloride
TWW espresso: 1.05g magnesium sulfate, 0.3g calcium citrate, 0.15g potassium bicarbonate.
Test kit is a Taylor K-1005. pH meter is an Apera PH20. TDS meter is from Third Wave Water. The test strips were terrible, don't bother.
