#Good Package (2009-07-01) The Maxtra 4 Pack of filters is a great way to stock up and ensure you never run out of filter capacity. They were well packed and our water tastes better than ever!

#Effective and unexpectedly economical (2009-06-28) I use mine in a hybrid jug-kettle, so they are catering for all my water-needs. I have been using them for two or three years and am past the honeymoon phase. They work. Tea is cleaner looking and tasting. My Espresso machine has cut its descaling needs, and the insides of my jug-kettle are nearly as new. After experimenting with differences between advertised and actual effective lifespan of cartridges, I conclude I can use them for twice as long before they show first signs of lessened effectiveness. The environment of use is rel...

#love brita (2009-06-10) i think these are great cartridges and that the brita filters really make a difference, i wish the prices were better on here more often so that kept my score down.

#Does the job (2009-04-01) Clean water, and the filters are much less fiddly than ones I ve used in the past. Just a shame it takes so long to filter the water through.

#Tefal Quick Cup Filters (2009-07-02) wot can I say it s a filter, it filters the water, The kids say the water (drunk cold) taste like bottle water, as for me well the quick cup make a nice cup of tea with the filter in. . . . . there you go one tefal quick cup filter review.

#No rate for this item, (2009-06-30) I did not like this filter. The taste of the water was changed. The color of the water was grey after filtering through this.

#The Tefal Cup Claris Filter Cartridge (2009-06-11) Anyone with the Tefal Quick kettle, have no qualms in buying this brand of filter. Easy to fit and money saving - cheaper than prices offered by Sainsbury s and Tesco s. In fact I m jusy about to get myself a nice cup of coffee. Tefal Quick Cup Claris Filter Cartridge

#Claris versus Brita filter (2009-06-09) Why bother with a Claris filter cartridge? They are expensive, hard to fit and the fitting lugs can break off easily. I use a Brita water filter jug for all my drinking water including cold drinks and kettle for pots of tea as I have very hard water. I just pour filtered water into the Quick Cup. This also saves having a second jug around to carry water from the tap to the Quick Cup. Another bonus is that the water container of the Quick Cup does not get limescale marks inside. Brita cartridges are cheaper (c. £3) and available at every super...

#Tefal Quick Cup Cartridge, one of the only places to purchase it! (2009-06-07) Thanks!This was the cheapest place to buy the cartridges. The only other place was out of stock and twice the price! These things are like goldust!

#Cleaner Water (2009-06-22) Having used the older style water filter in the past I ve found my new Briter water filter much better. The water has a much fresher taste. The one down thing is the filters are a lot more money than the old and even more exspensive on Amazon!!

#Looking Good (2009-06-21) Been fed up with hard water for so long,decided to take the plunge & buy new kettle & Brita filter. What a difference,no more scum on top of my tea or left in the cup!Looks really smart too which is an added bonus,what a bargain.

#Great water filter! (2009-06-05) Excellent water filter! Takes about 10 minutes to set up, you have to clean the unit, submerge the filter, and then run water through twice. But the preperation is worth it! Water tastes much nicer, especially compared with London tap water! Fits very well in the fridge door. Product comes with one filter - so you have to buy more MAXTRA Filters for the future. Filters reasonably quickly, in a few minutes. This model is quite cheap, but it does the job. Everything feels pretty solid and sturdy, so why pay more for the more expensive models?! A* - e...

#no more scummy cups of tea (2009-04-20) Living in a hard water area we were used to lots of scum on our tea and horribly dirty cups. Now we use filtered water, the cups are clean and the tea is free from frothy dirty scum. Highly recommended product.

#Best purchase ever (2009-07-01) We are really plaesed with our purchase, it is definatly worth every penny. Much more convientent than a jug in the fridge. Stylish and robust.

#Aqua fountain - wonderful to look at, no staying power! (2009-06-26) The Brita water fountain is a very stylish bit of equipment. I purchased it just over 3 years ago (end May 2006). It was used by me and my family as an alternative to bottled water. On the plus side, the water tasted ok and was cold. Against this the fountain was noisy and the flow was slow. I purchased my stainless steel fountain from Argos and bought an extended guarantee which unfortunately has just expired as the fountain stopped working! It started producing warm water, and became even noisier. I...

#Endless Cool Water (2009-06-23) Have had the chiller now for about a year - had it replaced by the makers as it became very noisey - no problem - even sent the replacement via courier & collected the duff one. We tend to drink more water since we have had the chiller which I m informed is good for you. I would recommend that everyone have a water chiller in their kitchen - we even drink cool water with our meals now instead of wine on most normal occasions - special meals still get the wine treatment though. An excellent bit of equipment - I ve noticed a few supermarkets now sell t...

#Water Chiller (2009-06-15) Bit temperamental at first- very important to get all the air out of the filter and unit otherwise it just wont work properly. Now I know what to do its fine, no problems at all

#rubbish (2009-06-07) Have returned it back to you. It was very noisy and water didnt chill enough.

#personal opinion (2009-07-04) find this quick and convenient for coffee and hot chocolate and reasonable for cuppa soup but not hot enough for good tea.

#Not reliable. Not recommended. (2009-07-01) I bought one of these late last year. I actually quite liked it. I drink mainly coffee and black tea - and the temperature of the water wasn t a problem for me. However after about five months the unit stopped working. Amazon were great and sent me a replacement. But the replacement stopped working within two weeks! So I got another one from amazon - and that stopped working within one week!From reading the reviews on here, it looks like I m not alone. How can a reputable company like Tefal produce a product that develops so...

#Quick cup - Luke warm and Cold in 3 Seconds (2009-07-01) When i 1st bought this product we was really happy. A few days later we noticed that the hot water was becoming just warm. I have now noticed that there is whiteness floating ontop of my drink (which you can get when microwaving tea or if the kettle has not boiled). The product is really noisy too.

#Love it! (2009-06-29) We received our Quick Cup nearly a fortnight ago and are delighted with it. Admittedly I only drink coffee (and black at that) but have had several picky tea drinking relations who have said it s absolutely fine!I have also made instant soup using it with no problems!Admittedly - I would not have bought it at the RRP but, I do actually feel it s worth it (think I got myself a bargain at £37!)Love it!!

#early demise (2009-06-29) After buying this product I thought it was very good and it did its job very well. However, after about a week the water began to be less and less hot. At about three weeks old the product was not heating the water at all. I now have to go back to Tefal (or Amazon??) to try and get a new Quick Cup. I hope I have just been unlucky.
