Review on Braun Brita KWF2 Water Filter Twin Pack with Patented Technology by Curtis Thilges

First we update the list of models that these filters fit, these are the Braun KF185 and KF187 models. Decision, considering the cost plus shipping. It costs about $14-15 for a couple of them, and according to the coffee maker's manual, you should replace them every 70 brews or two months. Now, if you are looking for a less expensive alternative to a water filter, consider using an external water filtration system under the sink or at the faucet. One of the best I've found is the GE Smartwater two-stage undercounter filtration system. Either model (GE Model #GXSV65R or GXSL55R) will provide over 6 months of filtered water before the filters need to be replaced, and the replacement filters are very easy to change as they only require a quarter turn to remove or install. Replacement filters, sold in pairs, are around $25-$30 here at Revain. And if those under-sink systems aren't on the budget, you can always opt for faucet-mounted filters from PUR or other brands that also remove chemicals like chlorine, as well as other impurities and contaminants in the water. In addition, the filters for Model #GXSV65R also remove VOCs along with all the usual other chemicals and cysts. Using one of these external filtration systems completely eliminates those internal filters, giving you and your family the added benefit of filtered water for drinking, cooking, etc. more conveniently and cheaply than buying bottled water. As a side note, when it comes to cleaning the coffee maker from limescale etc. you can try Brew Rite Cleaner powder which seems to clean the coffee maker and kettle much better than vinegar.
