Did you read about how I make my own mineral water at home in Wired's November issue? Then you might be interested in Mineral waters à la carte (where you find the latest version of the mineral water calculator) as well as my original post on DIY mineral water.

And bagged tea, too
Btw, what’s the efficiency of this method of heating water?

Ok, just so i’ve got this straight, they were heating up cold coffee and a mug of water using a lazer, right? That’s amazing. I wonder if that method is going to be shrunk down for commercial use.

This reminds me of “The Laser Cheese Raclette”, Annals of Improbable Research, 1, 3, 12-15 (1995). The authors used a CO2 laser to make a type of cheese fondue, including blown powder deposition of pepper. Perhaps you could interview them for a post? The CV of the lead author is online, but it seems to be an old version:
