Product Description

As everyone knows good coffee starts with good beans and good water. If your tap water isn't good enough to drink on its own, it probably isn't ideal for brewing coffee either. These water filters work with the Braun 12 cup coffeemakers that feature the PureAqua filtration system. ... Read more

KF550 filter?
Is this the filter for the braun KF550? Who knows? Amazon sure doesn't seem to. The virtually worthless Braun product manual doesn't say either. Why is it that Amazon concerns itself with recommending to me music based on what I bought in March 1999, but can't be bothered to recommend to me an expendable filter for the coffee pot I bought in February 2005?

This should be a required item for Braun Coffee Makers
This item definately makes the coffee taste better. The filters are difficult to find, but I am glad that Amazon has them. I replace the filters every 3 months like clockwork now that I found a reliable place to get them. Before, the coffee did not taste great, however the filters help tremendoulsy with the flavor due to the water quality at our home.

Essential
This filter is essential if you use tap water at home.It dramatically increases the quality of your coffee.

AWESOME
I live in a remote area and the water at times seemed to taste a bit weird. I purchased this unit and I have been in extremly pleased with the quality of this product as my water taste has been consistent since I began usung this product.

Works well for me
There really isn't much to debate with these. They are built into the machine and SHOULD be replaced occasionally. I happen to notice a better taste to the coffee after switching these every few months, but I wouldn't let that be the only factor in your decision to buy. Leaving the same filter in place for a long period of time w/o changing it will most certainly lead to build up of minerals and potentially cause bacterial/fungal accumulation (the filter, unlike the water, does not get sanitized by boiling water). I don't want to make anyone too paranoid, but there are basic biological consequences to leaving pools of water and minerals sitting around too long. ... Read more

Arrived in an open box
When I received this item, it arrived in an already opened package. I expect more from Amazon.

Great filter
What can you really say about a filter?It filters the water great and the water tastes clean.The only thing that freaks me out a little is the little black specks (charcoal I think) that floats around (in the top portion of the pitcher, not the water you pour out after it has been filtered).

A one-horse race
I was hoping that Amazon.com would also offer the Pur water filters for pitchers, as well as other Pur products, in addition to Brita. Most stores carry both products, thereby offering a choice, and while I have nothing against Brita, I do prefer Pur.Having only one brand to chose from is tantamount to having a one-horse race!

Cartriige Indicator Problem
Bitta, We have been using the Bitta Picher filter for several years but we notice that he white indicator on the cartrige does not move. We use the short handle picher.

Do you have any suggestions?

Well designed filter is a snap to drop in your pitcher
The Brita makes good water. I've tried a number of filters from whole house to faucet--singly and in combination. If your experience is like mine, convenience is a major limiting factor and here's how convenient these replacements are:

1. Rip, cut or tear open the plastic envelope.
2. Drop the filter in a dish or glass of cold water and let soak for fifteen minutes.
3. Remove filter from the soak and rinse it off under cold water.
4. Drop the filter into the hole in the top part of your pitcher (it's notched on one side so it fits only one way).

Are you going to enjoy filtered water?? You bet! Tastes good?? Yep! Can ANYONE do this?? Definitely! Does it add any sodium to your diet?? Nope! Low-carb diet friendly, too.

Buy these in multi-packs; they're most economical that way.

One caveat...there are always little carbon particles floating in the top part of the pitcher where you do the fillin'. There they are inconsequential because they can't get down to the bottom. I have seen a small amount of these down in the bottom of the filtered water; the only solution I've found is to not empty the pitcher totally and dump 'em out when I see 'em. ... Read more

Very good filter, produces nice, clean drinking water
Bought this filter at my local BJs warehouse store three weeks ago and installed it that same day. My wife and I have been big consumers of Poland Spring bottled water and decided to try this product to cut down on costs and to cut down on usage of plastic, throw-away bottles.

I wasn't too sure I would like the water produced by this filter, but after three weeks of repeated use, I can vouch for the taste and the smell: both good. There is no characteristic "tap water" smell and you can't tell the difference from Poland Spring. Plus, it's very easy to install (comes with a variety of washers in case it does not fit straight off on your faucet).

It comes with two filters (good for about four or five months of use by an average family). You can get replacement filters easily at different stores (like BJs, Walmart, etc.).

Even if you currently drink water straight from the faucet, this product would be worthwhile for you to buy, for who wants to drink the lead and the chlorine that are present in most drinking water that is piped into homes in America? And if, like us, you are or were bottled water consumers, you will see no difference in taste AND see the savings mount up!

Great product,BUT no filters avalable
Ok the faucet mout filter is great i loveit i had the old on tap and did not like it cause it stuck out this one hide underneath and behind which is great until you havereplace the filter and the only place i have found that has them is amazon and you have to pay shipping which really sucks

Really Nice Water Filter
We have had ours for awhile now and it seems to work pretty good.The biggest selling points were the size of it (it is out of the way when installed) and the design.The lever is strong and smooth and is easy to operate.

The Pur water filters seems to have a hard knob to turn and have a bad design which is in the way and tends to loosen.Also, the indicators on them never seem to 'line up' all be the same.They start off black then go to white then go to red as the filter is used and approaches its 100 gallon limit lifespan.I have tried several Pur water filters and I don't think any of the red indicators were ever in the same place.

This Brita is still on nice and tight.No leaks.No complaints.The stream and spray settings are nice to have in addition to the filtered drinking water.The filter itself is quite a bit easier to change than the Pur. ... Read more

DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!!
I received the Brita water cooler as gift about a month ago & I absolutely love it!! Previously I was getting home delivery of Poland Spring and this is way better.It's far less expensive, the bottle is much easier to handle than the 5 gallon, and the quality & taste is just as good. I would recommend this product to anyone!!

GreatAlternative Solution from a Trusted Brand
Seems like I have always had a Brita Pitcher.
Though I live in an area with pretty good tap water I prefer the "taste" or "lack of" taste of filtered water
This blends the best of all worlds by NOT having to buy into a expensive water delivery service lug and stored heavy bottles and still get great filtered water.
The unit is very streamlined stands about 4' tall and takes up very little space in my apartment sized kitchen.
It holds a 3 gallon easy to use bottle with a splash guard unit that makes it easy to handle/refill in a normal sized sink and not splash all over the place as you set it back on the unit.
This new unit uses 2 of the pitcher style filters which makes it quite economical if you buy one of the 4 packs when they are on sale...
I gotmy last 4 pack for $17.00 on sale.... depending on your overall all use the quote is about 80+ refills of the 3 gallon bottle between filter replacements.
The hot and cold sides are completely adjustable to quite cold on one side to hot enough to make tea etc on the other.
Either of the spigots can be adjust up or down to "room temperature if desired and the "hot" has a "safety" button that needs to be depressed to make them more child friendly.
It also has an "on/off" night-light that illuminates below the spouts making it easy for those late night trips for a glass of water.
I'm very impressed and think I've also discovered a neat useful gift item that is likely to make an impressive new choice on those wedding registries. ... Read more

Good enough for young, broke apartment dwellers
This Brita is ideal for my personal situation: 3 other (just as broke) roommates, highly suspect NYC tap water, and old water pipes. We needed something to purify the water, make it taste better, and not cost an arm or a leg.

We bought the container for about $30 back in November 2004, and we bought a pack of 4 or 6 replacement filters for about $20 extra. We've gone through 2 filters so far (one that came with the Brita, and one new filter) although I suspect we should replace the filters more often (as we are big guzzlers here). Split amongst 4 people, that's only about $13 each for probably about 8 months of good quality water - each month, that comes out to less than $1.50.

Granted, there are better quality water filters out there that remove more impurities than a Brita filter. But, usually those require hooking up the water pipes to a central filter, and shelling out close to $200...too much effort and $$ for an apartment.

And why not those Pur water filters you hook onto the faucet itself? A lot of my friends have complained about those faucet mounts never fitting well enough around the faucet, causing leaks and sprays. Brita may be more low-tech, but it's just alot easier.

We do refill the pitcher constantly, but it takes less than 3 minutes for all the water to filter. And, because my roomates and I don't like ice-cold water, we like to keep the pitcher outside...plus, we can transport from room to room.

So, if you live in your own home and are serious about water filtartion, buy a high end water filter you hook up to the entire water system. Otherwise, Brita is a good alternative.

Worth your money
I am not a water tasting pro, but the difference btwn Brita filtered water and tap water is highly noticeable.Brita filtred water taste great for me and my 3 rooommates.

It fits well in the fridge, it's easy to refill under the sink, it's durable, easy to maintain, easy to start using...

The only consideration with this particular filter is that it's inexpensive so it's not designed for heavy usage.Four people use my Brita filter and a full filter could only fill about three large glasses.Thus, if four people are going to use this filter, they will have to refill many times to keep its water supply adequate for everyone else.

Surprisingly disappointing design
After 8 years with my Brita Classic pitcher, I decided to get a newer, larger model with the built-in "smart timer" feature.After using it for about 3 weeks now, I am very disappointed in the overall design, especially considering how perfect the original Brita was.The smart timer feature is handy -- it's a small digital indicator on the top of the cap that tells you when it's time for a refill; this should work better (& cleaner) than the previous "analog" mechanism used with some Brita filters.But, that's about it as far as the good goes.

If you fill up the basin nearly all the way, water sometimes leaks out the back of the unit from the top of the handle (and gets onto your refrigerator shelf).Much more annoying, though, is the little flap that rests over the spout.Presumably, this is there to keep refrigerator odors from entering the unit and affecting the taste of the water.However, most of the time when you pour, the flap doesn't properly open up (it sort of sticks shut); this causes the water to pour sloppily or even to suddenly gush out if the flap happens to come un-stuck in mid-pour (more spills).Finally, if you tilt the unit enough to pour out the last drop of water, occasionally the Brita filter itself dislodges from its slot and thumps into the cover of the unit so that you need to re-seat it.

Given the great success I had with the previous unit, I was very disappointed with the overall design of this more recent version.

Great Product
There is no doubt that Brita makes an excellent product.Water filtration system itself is excellent.However, the pitcher is cumbersome and does not pour without dripping. All in all the quality of Brita filtration outweighs the messy pours.

Brita Water does a body good
There's no doubt about it -- you need water because the human body is up to 70% water by weight. Most people love water, and perhaps coffee might be a strong second. Even if you don't like water or coffee, and you are still looking here, you need good tasting water.

I bought a Brita pitcher originally because I was seeking the best cup of coffee. If you want GREAT coffee, water that's clean, cold and fresh is just plain essential. I found the Brita filter pitcher to deliver--clean and cold (when refrigerated), although I can't really confirm the manufacturer's claimed characteristics of "soft".

This model is my second Brita and the things I like about it most are the space saving flat sides which take up less space in the fridge than the original rounded model, the capacity of three quarts which is enough for a couple of glasses of water besides a full twelve cup coffee maker, and the convenience of the flip top lid where you fill the pitcher.

This pitcher gets a little heavy on the arm and wrist, but no more so than a gallon milk jug. The water weighs about six pounds and the pitcher about two pounds for a total of about eight pounds. The rubberized handle on the pitcher helps assure a good grip, and if you are in the habit of storing your pitcher in the fridge, it works best if you adjust the shelf on which you set the pitcher a little above waist high.

Emptying the pitcher before refilling is no big deal as the filter will not dry out just because you pour out all the water. Just don't let the pitcher sit with a water level below the bottom of the filter as it is installed in the pitcher.

One final thing is there always seems to be little carbon particles in the bottom of the pitcher. They come out of the filter with use. Personally, I don't like that feature, but I've never been fearful of those little things because the human body is also about 23% carbon. I don't think I would see them so much if the water wasn't so clear, though. Best of life to you! ... Read more

Does a great job. Filters are VERY easy to change.
We all know that the Brita On Tap is a nice water filter that gets the job done well. But it's easy to ignore changing the filter. When the time came to do so, I was impressed with (1) how easy it is to change the filter and (2) how much better the water flow was with a fresh filter. This purchase is a no-brainer.

Nice Deal!
I always get these filters from amazon.com, they are cheaper, and they ship it for free (when i buy 2 of them)...

what is there to say?
they work, they're afforable, and they make the L.A. tap water actually taste good. the only problem is that I go through them so fast because of how awful the tap water is out here... but who cares, it's worth it. much cheaper than buying bottled water.

Availability is the best
The product is good.It is the best filter system I have used.But the weak point for Brita is availability, since I hardly find them at the Supermarket so I buy it from Amazon.So availability at Amazon is the best.

A water filter that is doing its job!

Works fine - but flow of water is _very_ slow after a while
We got this system about 10 months ago, and are on our 3rd filter now. It works great - our water tastes much better when it's been through the filter, and I assume it's also devoid of most of the nasty stuff in it. The one downside is that the flow of water through the filter is pretty slow, and it gets slower as your filter ages. One has to have patience to fill up a quart of water - takes 30 seconds easily when your filter is not brand new.

great for college students
Let me first answer a question many people might have about this product... Does it make tap water taste better? YES !!! I am a college student, and I do not drink tap water because I was raised on bottled water delivered to our home. I don't care how clean tap water is, I won't drink it because I do not like the taste. I thought buying jugs of water would be the answer to good water. You can do that, but using this PUR filter saves money in the long run. The water filters from the top into the bottom faster than you might think. It is very easy to clean, and it is very easy to change the filter. Since I am the only one using the this thing, the filter cartridge lasts me at least 2 or 3 months before needing replacement, and I only have to refill it once every other day since it has a larger capacity than a pitcher filter. I also like the spigot at the bottom, it is well built, and has NEVER leaked and I have owned it for almost a year now. It is a very simple, convenient way to have cold, great tasting water without taking up a lot of precious time.

Well worth the investment!
At first, I was a little surprised at the amount of cash I was going to have to pay for this filter. But my husband and I were moving to a part of the former Soviet Union, and we had no idea what could be lurking in the water there. After 2 weeks of being here, and using this filter, I truly say I love it! We have had no problems with leaking, black specks in the water or anything. The size is wonderful. I use it to make tea and coffee with, and basically on any food that will not be boiled. My husband was brave enough to try the water from the tap (the stuff the nationals don't even drink!) and then tried the purified version. What a difference!

I did do a bit of research before buying. I was going to buy a Brita, but after many reviews from people who weren't very happy with it, I went with Pur. I'm very glad I did. I have NO complaints at all.

Thank you Pur for making a wonderful product!

MMMMM 8 glasses a day... EASY NOW!
Yes I'll admit it, everytime we went grocery shopping we lugged home a few big bottles of "spring water" (what the heck does that mean anyways and why do we think it's better then our tap water, I mean what is really in those plastic jugs?). Given this sudden realization recently I went on a quest to pick a water filter for our tap water, and decided upon this dispenser and I'm so glad I did! It's super easy to fill up, fits nicely into the fridge (plus it's my favorite shade of blue, that's a plus right?) and OMG this is what water is supposed to taste like, nothing... pure & clean & crisp (are you sure this is from my tap?) It's wonderful! I find myself happily filling up a glass with water to drink now instead of juice or tea etc. ... Read more

Great product for a great price!
Been using this for about a year now with no problems at all.Much cheaper than buying bottled water, that's for sure.

Best Filter I have found
I had the bigger Pur Dispenser when I lived in Las Vegas and loved it to death.Being in the military I recently moved to South Korea, where the water is a nice dark brown coming from the tap.Yum Yum.I picked up the Pur Pitcher and the water from it is absolutly purfect.By far better than the bottled water I was drinking before I got this, not to mention the money I save with this filter.The only gripe I have is that its not the Dispenser wich holds much more water, but the compact pitcher works brilliantly.I couldn't be happier...it will filter mud into pure crystal clear water.Good stuff, highly recomend this filter

Made me a water drinker
I was steered to this Pur water pitcher by my health-conscious sister.I went from drinking 5-10 big glasses of soda a day to strictly drinking water that is really delicious when filtered through this pitcher.I haven't tried the Brita water filter pitcher so I couldn't say which is better, but I do know that this one is very satisfactory to me!

Much better than faucet-mount...
My wife and I have immensely enjoyed the wonderful water we get from our Pur filtration pitcher.

It's very convenient -- just pour water into the top, and it will, albeit slowly, drip through the filter. Over time, as the filter clogs, it will get slower, so the key is to add more water every time you pour more out -- that way, it's filtering while you are drinking and you aren't waiting.

It's actually much more convenient than the faucet-mount filters, which inevitably leak and get painfully slow and force you to wait...

Pur is better than Brita, by the way, if you get the Ultimate filters, which filter out cryptosporidium and giardia in addition to chemicals and gunk. Brita doesn't do that; it's an important feature if you have iffy water systems (Mexico, Russia) or a weak immune system... ... Read more

Litterally the best filtration system out there
PUR is the best water filtration company i've stumbled upon. Their PUR Ultimate filters litterally make water better, healthier and great tasting. Just go to the store and see all the contaminants, chemicals and pesticides these filters remove. I guarantee you Brita filters don't remove farmland pesticides or certain bacteria.

Don't forget the Ice Cubes
I miss my whole house water filter now that I'm renting.But the PUR works very well.It was a little bit of a challenge getting the filter onto the faucet -- especially if you have big fingers.Careful not to strip the threads or you'll be buying a new faucet.Tighten as much as you can with your fingers and use plyers for the rest.The water tastes great, and now that I have to make ice with trays again, even the ice pops out easier than using regular water.My imagination?I still would like to send the water out someday to get it tested to see if this thing works like the water tastes -- says the "prove it to me" side.

Important Information
I had a Pur Plus water filtration system, but it developed a leak.The Pur company, with absolutely no hassles, sent me a new Ultimate faucet mount water filtration system.I found out that the Plus filter and the Ultimate filter are exactly the same shape and size.So if you are looking for a replacement filter for your Pur Plus you can use an Ultimate filter!

PUR FAUCET MOUNT FILTER
I HAVE USED THE PUR FAUCET FILTER FOR A FEW YEARS, AND FIND
IT WONDERFUL. IT REMOVES ALL THE BAD TASTE,AND MAKES THE WATER
TASTE AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN BOTTLED WATER.

Works great, much faster than reverse osmosis system
I've been using the Brita faucet mount for 2 years now. Our water is VERY hard, with sulfur smells and rust, and the Brita works as well as our reverse osmosis unit, which has three in-line filters. Plus, it doesn't slow down like the reverse osmosis unit does when using lots of water (family gatherings, etc). It is NOT as fast as normal tap water, so don't go thinking you'll get tap-water speed out of such an intense filter. I have to replace the filter approximately every 2-3 months, depending on usage. Very handy when the r/o unit starts running out of water. I tend to use both the r/o and the Brita when filling a pot for boiling, etc just to make it go faster. I've used both the PUR and Brita, Brita works better on our water, although, for best taste, I also run it through a pitcher filter (as I said, our water is BAD). Tastes better than spring water! ...

major design flaws
Sharp design, only problem is they put form over function when designing it.First problem, if the water hasn't drained completely from the upper (non filtered) basin, and you try and pour the pitcher, the unfiltered water pours out with the filtered water.Second problem, when you fill it up, if you let the water overflow the basin, the first thing it does is drain into the filtered basin.In the older round designs, the upper basin was water tight with the lid on, so you could pour out filtered water before the upper basin was empty.If you overflowed the upper basin the water would got over the side and not into the filtered basin.This allowed the user to set it under the sink and not have to stand there for 30 second to shut off the water.They took a definite step backwards with this design.It's really amazing that in the year 2005, such bad product design is still making to the store shelves. ...

Amazon.com Review

Brita changed the way we think about water pitchers, and now the company is aiming to do the same with water faucets. The Brita faucet filter system attaches easily to your faucet without tools, and features an electronic LED filter replacement indicator that flashes red when the filter should be replaced. Merely turn on the tap and enjoy fully filtered, fresh-tasting water. Each Brita filter reduces such impurities as cryptosporidium, giardia, lead, asbestos, and benzene, while also eliminating bad tastes and foul odors. In fact, the Brita faucet filter is the most effective Brita filter, more efficient than the company's popular pitcher filter. Users should replace Brita faucet filters every 100 gallons or four months, whichever comes first. --Rivers Janssen ... Read more

Great taste but do not last...
This product seems to only design to last max 1 year as it will start to leak like crazy.Luckily in Australia they offer 2 year warranty so I got it replaced. But I will not go back to this system, turn to the jug one instead.

Death Trap!
I am a doctor in a large metro area. I bought Brita filters some months ago, thinking that the tap water needed to be filtered. This filter started growing mold and God-knows what else inside the housing. I had been having diarrhea and upset stomach for the last few weeks before I took this thing off the tap. I had no idea what was going on, until I took it apart. There was red mold and black mold all over the water flow area, inside and outside the housing. I couldn't believe it!! This filter is made for the third world where there are larvae and eggs in the water. There is chemical and bacterial contamination in the US. This thing does nothing for that. It is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I wrote to Brita, and have heard little else but party-line. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, OR ANYTHING LIKE IT. Drink distilled water like I do now. Or just drink tap water.

"Red Stuff"WARNING!
Believe it or not there was red stuff inside!!!!!

I started getting stomach problems two months ago then sinus problems, low grade fevers and finally throat problems. Now I am a 26 year old who am in so much pain some days that I can't fall asleep at night. Nothing helps, or just helps a little.
Today I unscrew my "Brita Ultra Faucet Filter System", because since desperate for the source of my "illness" I decided that it must be the Dc water system. Well, I was shocked to discover thatinside the faucet mount and on both water mouths there was red stuff growing.

I called Brita and was told that it is not the product, SINCE IT IS NOT EVEN DESIGNED TO FILTER OUT BACTERIA, it must be the water. Long story short: I feel sick every day and Brita still pushes it product on people who doesn't know better.

This product is poorly designed and drains bad, therefore bacteria or other nasty things could multiply in it. Since it doesnt filter out bacteria the scenario is not a pleasant one.

IF you buy this system it means that you dont know a lot about water filters and what you want to filter out. Neither did I, you have to be a chemist to understand the lingo.
Stay away since this product may be harmfull to your health by its poor quality.

Like watching paint dry ....
Drip, drip, drip. One drip at a time. It takes 20 minutes to fill a pasta pot. We've had it 3 years (it never worked any faster than this) and sometimes I'm just tempted to just use the tap water and not worry about lead poisoning from the pipes.

Great Gadget
I've had this filter for about 2 years and has used the heck out of it. I have never had a single problem with it (no leaks, easy to install, indicator light works fine). More importantly - the water tastes great and it's convenient! Highly recommend. ... Read more

excellent filtration system
Easy to use, excellent filtration system. I had some trouble originally installing it because I didn't know that plumbing threads are the reverse of screws. Once I got it on correctly, it has worked fine for over one year. The filters pop on and off easily, last a long time, and a red light tells you when it's time to change. Sometimes, the water pressure gets too low and I change to a new filter even though it is still showing a green light. The replacement filters are a little difficult to find.

only lasted three weeks.
i was very disappointed with this item,was great for the three weeks that it lasted.after that it shot off the faucet and can not be put back on.it was installed correctly but now it can not be reinstalled on the faucet.everytime we try to reattach it, it shoot off at us. ... Read more
