Tap, Filtered, or Bottled?

Does well water taste better than tap? Is it sweeter?

It depends on the well (seriously). I don't know about "sweeter", in our case (northern NJ well, away from any pollution, agri runoff etc.) it was a deep well and it just tasted "clean", not sweet, not chlorine-ish, etc.

YMMV, different wells will be different, I'd suggest anyone with a well have it tested from time to time. The Aquasana filter does a great job of getting any trace of chlorine/chloramine-like taste out (along w/ the other things it filters per the tests on web site etc.).

we use the fridge filter but I drink from the tap upstairs. I fill water bottles when I'm out and about.

Pur pitcher. I avoid bottled water because of the extra trash it creates.

Drinking tap right now though because I was too lazy to go to the kitchen.

Brita pitcher at home; bottled water when I'm out sometimes, but if drinking water at a restaurant with a meal I usually get tap water. I hate paying for water, actually.

Fridge filter at home, water club at work, bottled while out and tap at restaurants (except when pregnant as I live in DC).
