Brita reviews and discussion

Brita water filters are a staple for me. I find they are an affordable and environmentally friendly way to improve the taste and quality of tap water. I have had the pitchers in the past but now have a couple of the filtered water bottles. These colorful bottles make it easy to have filtered water on the go, and the filters last a long time, making it worth the cost.

My husband and I switched to Brita around a year ago and it's so much better than the other water filter we were using. The filter lasts much longer and the water tastes great! If you take good care of it, it'll last ages!

I've used a Brita filter for over 2 1/2 years now. I do much prefer it because I can drink the tap water safely and inexpensively. The filters last a really long time at least for me. I like that the brand partners with a recycling system to help recycle old filters.

Brita is the OG water filter for a reason. They make it easy to drink tap water and feel ok about it. The replacements aren’t absurdly priced. 5/5. I appreciate Brita’s range in price points, sizes, colors, and functions of pitchers and coolers. When I was growing up in DC in the 00s, the city’s tap water was so bad that government sent households brita filters and every month they FedExed (not USPS) replacement filters. I think it really said something about the water quality and the power of Brita that they ran that program. It also probably says about how poorly the DC city gov’t was run that they didn’t use the federal mail system but a private, more expensive shipping partner for monthly replacements. But I digress… Brita saved our drinking water! And now 20 years later, in a new city I’m still buying Brita.

Over the years I have used & loved products from BRITA. I have lived in many places where the tap water tastes gross. It's too expensive & time consuming & wasteful to buy bottled water all the time for drinking. A small pitcher with the refills works amazing. The refills are pricy, but over time you save money from not buying bottles or cans of water.

BRITA Marella water filtration jug is an environmentally friendly choice. Unlike plastic bottles that are not at all environmentally friendly, the BRITA mug can be used long-term, only needing to replace the filter cartridges. Each cartridge can filter about 150 l of tap water, reducing impurities, and the indicator on the cup will show when you need to change the cartridge.

I really like Brita and have used their products for years. The tap water where I live doesn't taste that great so I usually get gallons of water delivered and Brita has saved me in many a snowstorm when I couldn't get bottled water. I also like the idea of keeping a small Brita at work to filter the office tap water so I'm not constantly buying drinks from the vending machine if I run out of what I've brought with me. I saw that Brita has a filtered water bottle that I am planning to purchase to bring with me when traveling.

Have I owned a Brita? Of course. Have I ever really enjoyed using a Brita? No. Though to be fair, this probably comes more from the POV of it Brita possession always seeming to be when I have several roommates and someone always seems to not fill the pitcher back up or it then hogging precious fridge space forever.

I use Brita filters to make coffee as we have horribly hard water in Copenhagen. The jugs okay looking, but they certainly don't improve the look of my kitchen. The filters are expensive, and actually hard to find in Copenhagen. I really don't have strong feelings about this one. Overall this is a product that I need, but don't want.

I have used this at a friends house. It looks kind of hard to maintain and clean. It seems like too much work for what it is

I don't use a lot of filtered water products, so please keep that in mind with this review. I like the concept of a water filter, but our Brita just seems to go through water filters very frequently. The pitcher itself works great, but I don't like how much waste this product creates.

More like a 3.5 review. Overall Brita products are good and it's nice that you can buy the filters at most major retailers. The biggest thing is that constantly using a plastic container for your water starts to wear over time. It helps against LA hard water, but not my favorite solution. Would love to see Brita make a product like: Aarke Purifier Glass Purifying Water Pitcher with Stainless Steel Filter

I never was a fan of brita even before the recent news about it, I just feel like it never tastes clean, I don't know, I just really do not like it. it would be great, and very sustainable if it was better but I always feel like i'm sick after I drink from brita.

Brita filters are essential for drinking NYC tap. The water is clean, but the pipes are very gross and dirty, and you want to make sure you're not ingesting all that.

Gets the job done! My only complaint is that they can get a little murky if left out on the counter.

There are much better filter out there. These are poor quality. And why would I want to put my filtered water into a plastic container after?

Used to be a fan until I got a Larq pitcher. With Brita, I was always concerned about mold building up in the base, which happens easily if you dont wash it regularly. A Larq is a significant upgrade

Great products, but I did have one get moldy so definitely keep a lookout for that.

I use this , but the filters always run out really fast.

I have gotten Britta products over the last ten years - it seems like a reliable filter brand but honestly not really excited about the brand, just seems easy to get replacements at most retailers and not much competition (that I am aware of). Will continue to use, but not a brand loyalist.
