Brita Marella Water Filter

So after becoming a regular coffee drinker and began searching for ways to improve the taste of my home made coffee, I acknowledged the fact that coffee is ~80% water and that by improving the water I used the coffee would improve too. I bought one of these at a Makro store some time ago, with some additional replacement filters. Of course, the first thing I did was fill a glass full of tap water, and fill a glass with the water I had filtered. I first tasted the ordinary tap water, and could taste distinct traces of chlorine and other chemicals, much to my dislike. Then, I took a sip of the water I had filtered. I was actually amazed, the water ...  Read the complete review

I'm a fan of water. Granted, that's a pretty controversial statement, but I'm standing by it. I drink it somewhat obsessively owing to a deeply entrenched fear of headaches - which, as fears go, seems a pretty reasonable phobia when you've got people suffering from Arachibutyrophobia; the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth, or the entirely understandable terror caused by chins that is Geniophobia ... In any case, as much as I love the aquatic stuff, I don't appreciate it tasting like a swimming pool or looking like it's been scooped from a stagnant puddle. Such are the joys of foreign plumbing (and Southern Water, to be fair), ...  Read the complete review

When my son was about 10 months old I decided to buy a water filter jug as I was fed up of boiling tap water for him to drink but just felt he was too precious to drink it straight from the tap. I had a look around and was slightly overwhelmed by the choice so decided to get this one from Argos as they had a special offer on and the jug and 6 refill cartridges were both half price, making it about £20 for the lot. The jug is elegant and contemporary and fits easily in the fridge door to keep the water cool leaving space for a 2pint and a 1pint bottle of milk. The jug holds 1.4 litres of filtered water, or if you remove the filtration system it will ...  Read the complete review

OK, it's time to face facts - I'm addicted to Dooyou. I'm sat here looking quizzically at a Brita Marella Water Filter, how sad is that? I go through phases and at the moment I'm fed up with tea and coffee, carbonated drinks leave me bloated, and we all know the side effects of drinking too much fruit juice, so that leaves water. Where I live, our tap water is not the greatest. It has a distinct chlorinated smell that makes me retch and every now and again, even with tea and coffee it leaves a tang which results in it being poured straight down the sink. Bottled water on the whole is either expensive, or even if you buy the value ranges, ...  Read the complete review

I bought the Brita Marella Water Filter on an impulse, even though my original Brita Water Filter was still in good working order. I wanted the upgrade to the maxtra filter from the Classic Filter, and the Marella fulfilled this requirement with added benefits. The Filter Jug ----------------- The Marella jug is slimline, so if you want to you can fit it inside your fridge door. It holds a total of 2.4 litres of water: 1.4 litres of filtered water and another 1 litre in the pre-filter inner jug. It's very convenient to use, since the lid makes a tight seal around the inner jug, so there is no danger of unfiltered water spilling into the ...  Read the complete review
