Our tap water isn't great. Also want a completely zero-plastic solution. What do you do for your water?

Where I live I've got perfectly good tap water, but in general you want a charcoal filter.

I know some people who have well water and they use something like that.

Unfortunately I don't know that you're going to get effective filters that have no plastic due to it being too cost effective for a disposable component.
You can't use paper or cardboard because it's water permeable, and metal would drive up the price of the filter drastically.
