For plain water, and assuming your constant current source goes into full limiting as soon as current is applied, a current of 1mA for 3 minutes in 250ml will liberate 1.609ppm of silver ions. (Calculations provided at the end.) This is an insignificant amount of silver, and most of the ions will probably combine with various contaminants in the water. If you are relying on this to protect you against water-borne disease, I'd recommend boiling, or any of the other proven methods for purifying water. It is not possible to calculate the amount of silver liberated in your distilled water example, since the voltage across the cell is too low. The initial resistance of the dw will allow only a small current to flow. The current will build up slowly, but it is doubtful the current limiter will go into full limiting during the brew cycle. Since we do not know the average current, we cannot calculate the amount of silver liberated.
