Braun FlavorSelect Patented Water Filter

Not a direct Braun product. The originals are not available for years. Experience with this replacement is scored.

Our Braun drip coffee maker is designed to work with this filter. The filter seems to do a good job of filtering out impurities, which can gum up the internal components of a coffee maker, shortening it's life. We've used the filters for as long as we've had the coffee maker and it still works well after 10 years. Of course the filters also help to enhance the flavor of the coffee, which is very important to us.

I was glad to get the package delivered in less time then expected however, I was surprised to only get one filter. I assumed it would be a box of two filters as always purchased previously so the price per each is higher this time around. My fault, I should have paid attention. The next time I will buy the box of two from Amazon.

I was happy to see that these filters are once again available. They are really nice for my Braun coffee maker because the water where I live is so hard. I bought this one and it came today. I thought it was the 2-pack, which is what I've always seen, but this price is for ONE filter. If you want the 2 pack, then go here: http://www.amazon.com/Braun-Brita-Patented-Filter-2-Pack/dp/B000062UH2/ref=pd_bxgy_k_text_b

When I opened the package, there was mold on the filter.I tried to wash it off because a change was long overdue. I hope I am not harming myself by using it.

I have no idea whether or not this gizmo cleans the water for our coffee, but I buy it anyway. It is a little expensive if you change the filter often, but I don't.

I use well water, so I can't tell any difference with the filter or without. Maybe if I were using city water, it would make a difference.

the filters are way too expensive but do work fairly well. I would not spend that much money for replacements again. not worth it
