  Filters January 20, 2008
Very inexpensive and makes all the difference in the world. We have well water and while most well water is better than most city water, sometimes you still get chlorine and metal tastes. So for me this filter does a good job at helping to keep this stuff out.

It sure does! I'm in need of filters right now and I'm tasting the difference. Works like a charm...

Filters just as promised, and even catches loose coffee grounds that I inevitably spill over the edge.

Have the grind and brew coffee maker, and it "will" work without them, and we already have filtered water available. But I added the filter in - and low and behold, the coffee is even smoother! I did check the prices locally, since shipping bascially doubles the cost if you are only buying two (I didn't need anything else to combine from the vendor). I found them for the basic price at our local BB&B... But I'll come back here to order the set of 12 now that I know I "love" them!

I live in Seoul, South Korea, where it is inadvisable to drink water directly from the tap. Unless, that is, your idea of a good time is to let a little amoebic dysentery cozy up and get friendly with your colon.
Okay, so, the water isn't ALWAYS that scary to drink. Just, uh, just most of the time.
Even when the water doesn't make you sick, it usually tastes like it's been funneled through an old radiator. Coffeemakers, generally speaking, don't include water filters because the brewing process ostensibly kills all of the harmful bacteria. But you can still taste the heavy-metal-goodness in every last drop of leaden java. Lip smacking!
Anyhoo, I purchased a Cuisinart Coffeemaker recently (oh, how I love that machine), and it came with a package of these little filter fellows, and let me tell you, they do the trick. Gone are the filamental-flavors, the taste of scalded electrical wire! All that's left is pure watery goodness, the clean, crisp clarity of two spic-n-span H's and one well-scrubbed O. Now, if this little wunder-filter can do THAT for the brackish dreck that passes for water in Seoul, imagine how much more effective it would be on YOUR water!
Uh. Assuming you also do not live in Seoul. Or, er, Mexico. And parts of Bangladesh. And most of Haiti. And also, maybe, Djibouti. (Although I think Djibouti's been getting its act together with the public water works system these days, thanks to macro-economic reform programs. See the comments section below.)
