Brita Acclario Reviews

I'm writing this for two reaons. Firstly is for you, the dooyoo community, who deserves to hear the voice of experience on kettles. Secondly, is to annoy my tea-loving mother. Because she covets this kettle. I'll give you a quick description so this is all in context for you: The kettle is a fairly large unit, with a corded ...  Read the complete review

I bought this kettle because I'm a bit of a tea nut (sad, I know!). My friend told me it would make a huge difference to the taste of tea, and convinced me to buy one. The kettle is quite bulky and not especially pretty to look at. You pour water from the tap into a small reservoir at the top, and gravity causes it to fall through the ...  Read the complete review

Living in Shropshire, we suffer dreadfully from hard water. I was finding I need to descale my old kettle on a weekly basis, otherwise I would get strange bits floating in my tea - urgggh!!! Thereford when the Brita Acclario first hit the market - I immediately went out to buy one. It did everything it said it would ...  Read the complete review

Where we live the waters not bad and we don't really need to filter it but my Father in Laws water is so bad that some days it is undrinkable. Because of this he filters all his water and if he dosen't he has to descale his kettle about once a month. He has up until just recently has a separate filter jug and kettle but they took up so much space ...  Read the complete review

OOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!! my mum exclaimed when she saw our kettle,( which we bought approx.4 months ago) New house , new kettle When we moved in i made a cup of tea and was shocked at the amount of debris floating on top of my tea. I'd tried a water filter before but thought this time I would try something a bit ...  Read the complete review

I must say, having got this kettle bought for me whiel at University in Birmingham, I have noticed the fairly significant difference in the water quality of my tea, and also the lack of limescale in my kettle! The kettle (mine came in black) is a cordless removable kettle whose heating element takes up the entire base of the kettle. This ...  Read the complete review

The BRITA kettle is the worst kettle I have ever been stupid enough to buy! Beyond the novel idea of combining the water filter and its modern look, it is a catalogue of awful design gaffs. How it got to production I will never know. The bad points, where do I start? The spout has an "ingenius" flap that diverts the water everywhere ...  Read the complete review

Several years ago I used to use a Brita jug and was always very pleased with the huge improvement in clarity of my tea. However I gave up for three reasons. Firstly the jug went nasty looking with calcium streaks on the outside that couldn’t be cleaned, secondly the cost of the cartridges and thirdly the thought of the water sitting around ...  Read the complete review

I'm not sure why but over that last couple of years we seem to have gotten through more than our fair share of kettles. Whilst you might think that they are simple devices that should last for ages and generally not be too difficult to get wrong (from a design point of view) you'd be wrong. Whilst I won’t bore you with the details ...  Read the complete review

whilst i agree that combining a filter and kettle is a good idea ( hell , that's why I bought one ) Brita have let themselves down on the spout design. After months of water dripping down the spout onto my kitchen surface I am getting a bit fed up! Don't know if the more expensive version is better and it's not just the way I use it ( ...  Read the complete review

I'VE UPDATED THIS TO REFLECT THE FIRST 3 MONTH'S USE. AND NOW BACK TO THE PLOT.... The Brita Acclario? OK, I know it sounds more like a kit-built British sports cars, but it's actually the latest offering from Brita, makers of portable water filtration "solutions" (God, I hate that word!). ...  Read the complete review
