Product description

A great cup of coffee starts with pure, odor-free water. If your tap water reminds you of summer by the pool perhaps you should consider how chlorine affects the taste of your brew. These filters also reduce annoying calcification.

To keep filtered water tasting great, it's important to change the filter on a regular basis--it's best to keep spare filters on hand at all times. The Krups Crystal filter fits all Cystral Arome water filters and coffee makers and reliably reduces the unpleasant odors and tastes from tap water that taint the flavor of drinks. It might also be used for cooking pastas, rice, and fresh vegetables, or whenever you want foods to taste their natural best. --Lynne Sampson

Customer reviews

« Finding Filters is definitely a problem »

Similar to other reviews, I have had trouble finding filters. I also own a Krups Mocha Brew and they use a Size 1 round filter which is only avaiable online for $5/ box of 100 plus shipping and handling. This is a lousy way for Krups to do business, not making filters widely available. It would deter me from future purchases.

« These filters are a great idea »

I believe that the reason why some people are having difficulty finding these filters is because the coffe makers, Crystal arome (model #398) and Crystal arome time (model #458) have been discontinued, these filters fit those models. But as someone else has mentioned you can buy the filters on-line. Simple solution.

You can go to krups.com to find out more about the discontinued coffee makers.

« Where are you people looking for filters? »

I am not sure where these people are looking for filters. Generally, I find they are available through higher end retailers like Macy's and Bed Bath n Beyond. Here is a little secret. You can order direct from the company!!!! All you have to do is read your owner's manual and the phone number is in there. Magic! Problem solved. I believe the filter is an excellent idea and Krups is a great product. I am sold!

Very annoying that you can't get the filters for this coffee maker anywhere.

« No Filters Found »

I have also bought this product and can't find the filters anywhere. I purchased this item about 6 mos. ago and have been very dissatisfied since I realized 3 mos. into it that I was not going to be able to find this filter. I also make my tea with this coffeemaker but it just doesn't taste the same without a new filter. I would definitely not buy this brand again.
