i find when i have flat water after my espresso it soothes my palate a little more so than sparkling water does....

Sparkling before to cleanse the palate, flat after.

Im not a fan of sparkling water, so flat water all the way.

yeah i definitely prefer flat water. sparkling water to me has its own taste that can be a little too intense after espresso. but thats based on opinion and not actual skill lol

In my experience, still water enhances the aftertaste of the espresso, whereas sparkling water all but kills it.  I prefer to enhance the experience of the coffee.  

 

While I agree with sparkling to cleanse the palate, the question was "which one".. not to mention, if the coffee is a bit on the too-fresh side, sparkling water as an "apertif" to the espresso might negatively effect the taste experience.  Just my opinion, of course.
