Reviews of Braun Brita Patented KWF2 Water Filter (2-Pack)

1.) Thank You, Amazon!

I used to buy these filters locally for my Braun Flavor Select, but, when I moved, I could not find a source. I am so glad I've found them here because I wouldn't want to do without them.

Although the Flavor Select does come with a dummy cartridge to place where the filter belongs, it is well worth your while to use the water filters. I was going through coffee pots every couple of years because of hard water deposits in the lines - and vinegar cleanings did not help. The filters have kept my Braun brewing coffee without ever having to use vinegar or other methods of interior cleaning. While I can't say that my coffee tastes better, I can attest that these filters have lengthened the life of my brewer.

These filters are great, especially if you have a water source that you have to work against with making the coffee taste strange. I can tell the difference in taste when putting a new filter in. If you love coffee, get the Braun Flavor-select coffeemaker and purchase these filters.

Now...do we really need them, or have we just become over-hyped about the safety and taste of drinking water? Well, as a true lover of a good cup of coffee, and having the Braun KF600 coffee maker (which uses these), I go ahead replace the filter bi-monthly as prescribed. Hey, it certainly doesn't HURT to remove the chlorine and impurities from your java water!

And if you're going to use them, what better way to buy them then Amazon! As an 'Amazon Prime' member, I simply click and have them at my door step in a couple of days with no shipping costs. You know, it's getting harder and harder to persuade myself to head to a store nowadays.

We have hard water and although I flush out our coffee maker frequently, these Braun Brita filters do help in preventing so much calcium deposits from accumulating.

These particular filters are difficult to find in the stores and why I purchase them from [...].

Additional Note: I checked my order from Amazon for these filters and they were under $10.00 each. There has to be a price error on these filters. Stop and think, filters Braun recommends be changed every two to three months cost more than the coffee maker! No...don't pay this ridiculous price! Buy a new coffee maker every few months...just kidding folks! The suggestion is about as silly as the filter price! :)

If you own a Braun coffee maker, you need those filters and they are impossible to find retail. As well as reducing the frequency of descaling, the coffee tastes better - smoother, less bitter but that will depend on your water quality and minerals present. We don't have heavy calcium in our water so don't need to change as often as suggested.

44.) Brita filters for better coffee
Reviewed by: Mark R. Watson Eugene, OR USA
Rating:
I purchased the Braun coffee maker before realizing that the appliance used a Brita filter. Initially skeptical, I've come to see the value in the approach. First, I think the coffee tastes better as the water, drawn through the filter, is purified and any "taste" is eliminated before it is distributed through the grounds. You get the flavor of the coffee, not the flavor of the coffee and the local water. Second, the filter prevents the formulation of build up within the coffee maker. You know the "white stuff" that forms inside the machine after awhile that's hard to remove? You don't get that with the filter. The filters last for a couple of months and they are really easy to replace. I'm sold!

We were a little slow to replace the filter in our coffee maker. It's hard to know if it makes a difference. I took the old filter apart and realized how much it had trapped from our water and I was glad that I was replacing it.
This two pack is the best deal that I found. Buying them separately (and then paying shipping) makes the individual filters pretty expensive for changing every three months.

For right now it is a very nice and convenient option for me.

a really good cup of coffee, then you might buy beans whole and grind your own...use a french press...and STILL taste the chlorine unless you use spring water or a filter system. If you spent the money for a Braun maker that uses this filter (brita), then you should use the filters if you buy gourmet whole beans...a small premium for a good cup of coffee (you already paid for premium beans and took the time to grind your own). You save with no french press to clean! Too much trouble, too expensive, and you don't taste the chlorine or minerals in your tap water? Then use tap water in the inexpensive maker of your choice!

Very nice product, works exactly as advertised. We have bought several other Braun coffee makers. The glass carafe's usually did not last long. My wife prefers the metallic carafe and it has kept the coffee warm for upto 6 hours.
My only complaint is about the inclusion of the water filter. We use RO or bottled water and really don't need a filter. However Braun does not make the same model without a filter. The filter is an added cost for those who don't need it. Also, the filter in our case has lasted between 3-4 months and so we have not replaced it every 2 months as the manufacturer suggested.

85.) Works well for me
Reviewed by: pharmdoc1 San Diego, CA United States

There really isn't much to debate with these. They are built into the machine and SHOULD be replaced occasionally. I happen to notice a better taste to the coffee after switching these every few months, but I wouldn't let that be the only factor in your decision to buy. Leaving the same filter in place for a long period of time w/o changing it will most certainly lead to build up of minerals and potentially cause bacterial/fungal accumulation (the filter, unlike the water, does not get sanitized by boiling water). I don't want to make anyone too paranoid, but there are basic biological consequences to leaving pools of water and minerals sitting around too long.

If you don't filter your water before putting it in the Braun, you'd better filter it before you put it through the ground coffee.

107.) Model numbers that this applies to
Reviewed by: Stephen Holland Naperville, IL
Rating:
As of 27 October 2002, this filter fits Braun Coffee makers models KF580, KF550, KF510, KF190, KF187, KF180, KF157, KF155, KF150, KF145, KF140, KF130.

If you go to the Braun Web site and want to search for your model coffee maker, be aware that Braun thinks these are two word model numbers. Their search engine wants you to enter KF + 157 for the KF157 model.

The filters work. We like them more for the hard water problem than the chlorine issue. The filter does both well. Just pricey.

108.) The Braun/Brita Monopoly Game: Works Well But Costly
Reviewed by: M. Allen Greenbaum California
Rating:
Apparently Braun teamed with the Brita company to offer this replacement water filter that currently costs $9.99 for two. Though their instruction manual practically pounds you over the head with how necessary it is to replace the filter, it doesn't tell you what model to get! (From the instruction manual: The water filter "improves coffee flavor by significantly reducing chlorine and also prevents calcification ... Provided that the cartridge is replaced regularly every two months, it not only brews better tasting coffee but can also extend the life of your coffeemaker by preventing [this gets redundant] calcification buildup. Braun water filer cartridges are available at your local retailer or Braun service centers.")

Important:
If you own a Braun and want the replacement filter, the best thing you can do is read the outstanding KWF2 filter review on Amazon.com (posted October 27, 2002, and located a few pages down) by Stephen Holland of Naperville, Illinois: "Model numbers that this applies to, October 27, 2002." I excerpt from that review here: "As of 27 October 2002, this filter fits Braun Coffee makers models KF580, KF550, KF510, KF190, KF187, KF180, KF157, KF155, KF150, KF145, KF140, KF130." I suggest you give him a "helpful" vote for the research he did. (Stephen, please write me if you prefer that I not use this excerpt.)

I have the KF 590 (also known as the KF590E), and according to this website http://www.theessentials.com/jump.jsp?itemID=994&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C8%2C65%2C336&iProductID=994 , that model also uses the KWF2.

(The following section is taken from my own review for the Krups 590): Braun's manual recommends that you buy a new water filter every two months, but the Braun-linked website above tells you to replace it every 70 brews. Depending on your consumption, that could easily take three or four months, not two. Also, running vinegar through the machine twice should dissolve most or all of the calcification, and one can always just buy bottled water. At one filter every two months (see below), annual replacement (assuming no shipping) will cost you about $60, or about 75% of the current Amazon.com sale price. Braun and Brita executives must be in their cups over this sweet little arrangement they've brewed. It's a great coffee maker, but the convenience of the filters will cost you.

109.) New High Pricing - FYI
Reviewed by: klw Bethesda, MD
Rating:
Just an FYI: I called Braun this morning to find out about the huge increase in prices. I was also suspicious since many on-line dealers were out of stock. It turns out the Braun is ceasing all U.S. business...that means the filters too. The high price is just reflective that the retailers are not getting any more in from the supplier so it will go up in price until they are all gone.

These filters for my Braun coffee maker appear to be brand new. They fit properly and seem to work. Shipping was prompt. The only downside was the shop-worn appearance of the package in which they were sealed. It looked as though it had been used as the ball in a touch football game, crinkled and scuffed to the point at which I would not have bought it off a retail shelf. The packaging was still sealed, though, and the product appears to be OK, but I would have expected a heftier discount considering the condition in which the merchandise was when it was delivered.

When I purchased these water filters for my Braun coffeemaker, I believed I was purchasing the actual filters made by Braun. Instead, I was sent an inferior after-market product that does not function as well as the original. The filter actually floats inside my coffeemaker when I add water and has caused my coffeemaker to not work correctly. It now drips and sputters. Next time, I will purchase the brand product from the manufacturer.

I ordered the cheap replacement Braun coffeemaker water filters and they are not Braun or Brita. They were purchased at Amazon from Goodmans as their part no. BR-FLF, but on Amazon they appear in advertising as a Braun or Brita Product. This filter produced filtered water that is dark colored and with fine particulates on the presoak. Of course, I wouldn't use this water to drink or put into my coffeemaker for fear of health concerns or damage to the coffeemaker. I am not suprised to see the reviews that found no difference using this type of filter on coffee flavor. Since I didn't get around to using these horrible filters till several months after my purchase, I am not expecting a refund. I have used many original Braun coffeemaker filters in past, and none have had this problem. They always produce clear water on the presoak.

The pack came with 2 cartridges, so I threw out the first one the the same thing happened with the second one! I wonder if the original one that came with the coffee maker did that too and I just didn't notice b/c I was running coffee through the machine and therefore couldn't see the black specs. Gross! I would rather just not use a filter!

I purchased six of these as the first replacement I had made to the original filter. After purchasing our Braun coffee maker, we used the filter for two months and could no longer find replacements. We removed the filter and used the stock insert from there on out. We ended up finally deciding to use a faucet mounted Pur filtering system so we could filter water for normal drinking as well. Finally, 1+ year later, we thought about the filters again and were able to find them. I bought six of them and installed the first one yesterday. This morning, I bypassed my Pur 3-stage filter and used normal tap water, relying on the Brita filter. My coffee is terrible. I roast my own coffee so my wife and I always look forward to the best cup in the morning. Coffee yesterday was as wonderful as it has always been. This morning, it's bitter and I'm left with a constant bitter after taste in my mouth. This filters do not do much filtering.

Features of Braun Brita Patented KWF2 Water Filter (2-Pack)

As everyone knows good coffee starts with good beans and good water. If your tap water isn't good enough to drink on its own, it probably isn't ideal for brewing coffee either. These water filters work with the Braun 12 cup coffeemakers that feature the PureAqua filtration system.

Designed to fit all Braun FlavorSelect coffeemakers, the two water filters in this pack improve coffee flavor by filtering out chlorine and other off-tasting elements. They also slow down the calcification process. Each filter lasts for about 70 brewing cycles--or about two months. --Fred Brack

1.) Two-pack of Brita water filters for all Braun FlavorSelect and AromaDeluxe coffeemakers;
2.) Each filter lasts for about 70 brewing cycles;
3.) Also reduces calcification;
4.) Improves coffee flavor by filtering out chlorine;
