Large Atherton houses may run two coffee machines, a plumbed built-in in the main kitchen and another in a butler's pantry or guest house, and the one that pours fewer cups is the one whose milk system dries out first. ## What Atherton does to a coffee machine. California Water Service has supplied Atherton, Woodside and Portola Valley through its Bear Gulch District since 1936, and in 2025 it bought its surface water from the SFPUC. Cal Water's 2025 report for the district shows an average hardness of 62 ppm, and the company's own scale calls anything under 75 ppm soft. Census Bureau estimates for 2020–2024 find roughly half of Atherton's homes built before 1960 and nearly all of them standing detached. Around 27 percent of the town's homes went up in 2000 or later, in the same Census estimates.
