 Freshwater Fluid Flows Freely From Fine Filter! |
| Review Date: March 26, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Mark Eremite, Seoul, South Korea |
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.)

A must for your coffee maker!

| I purchased these filters from Amazon and am very happy with them. I really noticed an improved taste in my coffee. I think this is a great investment to help maintain the taste of the coffee and increase the lifespan of your coffee maker by reducing build-up from water minerals. |

| Purchasing this three-pack gives great value. Purchasing online also eliminates trying to find this product, since it is not routinely stocked where one would normally purchase the coffee maker itself. |
Improves Taste of Coffee and Life of Coffee Maker
|
| Review Date: February 7, 2007 |
| Reviewer: J. Amicucci, USA |
| Does a good job at improving the taste of the coffee, but more importantly to me is it also filters out coffee grinds that may accidently spill into the water chamber... a nice plus! Change the filter regularly and it will also extend the life of the coffee maker. |
Works just as promised!

| Filters just as promised, and even catches loose coffee grounds that I inevitably spill over the edge. |
Does make a difference... and check the prices

| 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! |
Great Bargain

| You probably paid extra for the cuisinart coffee maker because you like good coffee. This little charcoal filter is part of what makes it so good. I found them hard to find locally and saw some online for outrageous prices. You have to have these, so why pay more. |
Does it work?

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

| I've had problems with my coffee machine not brewing coffee for months now. My wife and I had to basically play with the on/off button to get it to work. In any case, once I bought the new filters our machine started working again. Appears it was just a matter of replacing the old filter. |
Water filters *do* make a difference

| Reviewer: Red, Houston, TX |
I left my water filters unchanged for toooooo long (over a year). I can definitely taste the difference and am putting a reminder on my calendar to change the filter regularly.
They're not cheap I guess, but if you use good coffee, why would you want it to taste like something ground you buy in a can? And if you use ground coffee from a can (some of which I like so I'm not slamming it), why wouldn't you want it to taste as good as possible? |
Filtered down water, Great Coffee

| I love my Cusinart Coffee maker. Very Nice Machine. And if you want the best tasting coffee you need these water filters. I was a skeptic, but you really can taste the difference. Water filters? yeah I gotta have em! |

| 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. |
These little wonders work great!

| Now that we can find a good deal through Amazon, I am happy to keep replacing these filters. We can taste a distinct difference when using them. (Although we have not tried a different brand - I do not know if one exists for our Cuisinart) |
Water Filter for Cuisinart Coffeemaker
|
| Review Date: September 26, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Stitch in Time, Fiddletown, CA United States |
This is a great product to ensure optimum tasty coffee from a great coffee maker!
The length of time between inserting new water filters in your machine will depend on the quality of your water. You will know when to change them, because your coffee will start to taste . . .not as good!
This product is easy to use, and the retailer I purchased it from had a good price for it. |
Does what it should!

| There is a noticiable difference in the taste of our coffee when I use this in the coffee maker - a positive difference! |

| What a great idea to put the filter right in the coffee maker. I replace ours about every 4 months and they work great. |

| I thought I would not replace these little filters but found that they do make a difference. When I went to price them however I was glad that I found this seller. Very fast shipping and good pricing. That's a good combination! |
It is what it is!

| It's a two-pack and looks like the one that came with the unit I purchased. It's supposed to filter the water you put in the unit for better-tasting coffee. However, I always use filtered water anyway so don't even know if it is all that necessary. |
This thing takes a filter?

| Reviewer: CJH, Attalla, Alabama USA |
| I was looking for a new funnel thing for my Cuisinart coffee maker and came across this filter. I have been using this maker for 4 years and never knew about this filter. My maker has never had one installed and it has been making great pots of coffee and tea for many years. I am looking forward to stepping up with this filter. By the way; Cuisinart products have been a beacon of quality in a world of junk. I threw away 3 coffee makers before I found this one. When it finally wears out, I will purchase another exactly like it. |
