Does not work with PUR200, December 25, 2006

Ajay Kalra (Yardley, PA) -

This review is from: PUR CRF-950Z 2-Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter, 3-Pack (Kitchen)

Original Review(12/25/06): I ordered 11 boxes of these and confirmed before ordering from PUR200 product manual that it will work. PUR200 came with the filter which has a red indicator that moves as you consume water/filter. I bought this knowing that this filter (CRF-950Z) does *not* have the red indicator. However after putting the filters in, the top water bucket does not seat properly. These filters are about .25 inch taller than the one with red indicator.

This is a major inconvenience and really is the fault of PUR. They should specify the PUR water coolers this filter will work in. It may very well work fine in filters where it will fit properly.

Update 12/27/2006: I called 800-PUR-LINE and just spoke to Procter & Gamble about this issue. They said they are aware of this problem and CRF-950Z will not fit water cooler(and likely any water cooler) made by KAZ(PUR200, PUR300). They also mentioned that they dont know how long it will be before this problem is rectified. In effect, there are no filters available for this unit right now. One has to wonder about the quality control at PG/KAZ. At least these guys should issue a product recall on this.

Costly, but worth it (Price comparison with Brita), January 27, 2006

Mike H. (La Jolla, CA) -

This review is from: PUR CRF-950Z 2-Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter, 3-Pack (Kitchen)

I'm currently a college student living with 5 other guys and we use Brita filter at the apartment. When you cook with Brita filter, you can't taste a thing, but when you just drink the water, it taste like tap/toilet water. It also leaves those black stuff (part of the filter) on the bottom of the container. Personally, that's just weird and nasty, but maybe people like eating those filter-particles.

Back at home, my family use Pur water filter and I have to say, you can definitely taste the difference. I think that the water filtered by Pur taste like Fiji water. It's awesome. Instead of buying those ridiculously-good-looking bottled Fiji water, I bought huge water containers and take water filtered from home to my school apartment and just drink it myself.

The only downside of Pur water filter is that it costs more than Brita filter. Being an Economics major, I calculated the cost of water per gallon (filtered). With each filter (Pur or Brita), it filters 40 gallons of water. Pur cost $24.99 for a 3-pack (Amazon.com), this means that it costs $.208 to filter a gallon of water (excluding the cost of water itself). Brita filter cost $15.99 for a 3-pack (Amazon.com), this means that it costs $.133 to filter a gallon of water (36% cheaper than Pur). Although it costs more, I still think it's worth the money. I rather spend the extra $.075 per gallon of water than to drink toilet water.

Like the old design better., January 9, 2007

C. Huang (Pleasanton, CA, USA) -

This review is from: PUR CRF-950Z 2-Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter, 3-Pack (Kitchen)

I've been using this filter for many years now and we feel good that PUR filters filter out more unhealthy stuff in the water than other brands do. However, the new design for this replacement filter doesn't come with the red moving reminder (for you to know it's time to change the filter) anymore. I don't know the reason why PUR would give up such good design. Now they tell you to just change the filter after a certain time. I still think the reminder design is more accurate since it goes by how much water that's gone through the filter, not by how many days.

This review is from: Bodum 1548-01US Brazil 1-liter 34-Ounce French Press Coffeemaker, Black (Kitchen)

I have two Chambord models, and this one. I prefer the features of the Brazil's keyed lid, and secured plastic frame to the Chambord models. I've had this for about 3 years now, use it every day, and it's held up perfectly. Great press.

An Inexpensive Treat, December 9, 2008

J Keistler "johnrktx@sbcglobal.net" (Lake Jackson, Texas USA) -

This review is from: Bodum 1548-01US Brazil 1-liter 34-Ounce French Press Coffeemaker, Black (Kitchen)

This was my first French press. I have always enjoyed this type of coffee, particular after dinner. However, I was attracted to the plastic framework surrounding the carafe, as I can be clumsy at times.

This press has worked just as well as the more expensive, more traditional looking French press pots. I set the coarsest setting on my Braun grinder, and no grounds get through the screen. It is just perfect. I haven't ever run my press through the dishwasher, it isn't necessary with the easy cleaning with this one. I just put hot soapy water in the carafe, up-and-down a few times with the plunger and it's all ready to use again. I have heeded the warning not to stir with a metal implement; I use a wooden spoon.

I would heartily recommend this model of Bodum for someone who would like to experience French press coffee at home, inexpensively.

Tidy Adaptation of the Cowboy Coffee Brew Method, June 8, 2009

AZshooter -

This review is from: Bodum 1548-01US Brazil 1-liter 34-Ounce French Press Coffeemaker, Black (Kitchen)

Let's face it, dumping coffee grounds into a bucket of hot water is nothing new. The Bodum Press is a refinement of the cowboy coffee brewing method, minus the campfire & straining it thru a sock. In My world, there is no such thing as "too Strong" for coffee. There IS, however, too bitter & too acidy. The press does what perking, dripping and steaming ground coffee cannot do: produce a stout, yet smooth cup of coffee - just like the stuff made around decades of my campfires.

Model Brazil, made in Denmark by a Swiss Company & called a French Press. No wonder the confusion over exactly how many cups this actually makes. The Euro-instructions for the press say 4 oz. per cup, but even my fine Bavarian China cups (from when I lived in Munich) are 6 ounces.

Just look at it this way: It holds 32 ounces of water.

The instructions on your roast coffee container usually say to use 1 TBSP per 6 ounces of water (NOT 4 ounces & NOT 8 ounces). Again, in MY world, 32 ozs. makes about 2 cups of coffee.

I toss in 6 or more scoops of ground coffee, pour in hot water & wait the obligatory 4 minutes. The result is a smooth coffee that you can drink by the quart without that nasty heartburn/reflux side effect.

It's ideal for work, where the office sissies are afraid of offending anyone with REAL coffee, so they make it weak. I simply step up to the hot water spigot & take the Press to my desk.

Now, you, too, can have coffee the way you like it at work without having to cover up someone's botched brew with that foo-foo Vanilla, Hazelnut, Irish Cream or other phoney-flavored faux creamers.

Cleanup? Swirl around some soapy water, & dump the grounds down the sink - just be sure to have the water blasting & the garbage disposal running, so as to not plug up the sink trap.

Even if you already have the coffee-brewing apparatus of your dreams, buy the Bodum 32 oz. model. You won't be disappointed.

I am not fond of most flavors of K-cups. However, the G.M. Caramel Vanilla Cream is truly an exception. These K-cups are very good!! I purchase them regularly.

Delicious flavored coffee, February 8, 2010

Stephen M. Charme (central New Jersey) -

This is one of our favorite flavored coffees. The caramel flavor is nice and smooth, and not syrupy tasting like when the coffee shop just adds a syrup to regular coffee to give it a certain flavor. Coffee drinkers have very individual tastes, but for me and my wife this coffee is delicious.

IMPORTANT: Carefully check the price before you order this coffee from any seller. A box of 24 cups should cost less than fourteen dollars exclusive of shipping, and further discounts are available if you order multiple boxes, including free shipping.

Double check doorway width, March 30, 2011

gmaof4 -

This review is from: Regalo Easy Step Walk Thru Gate, White (Baby Product)

Nice gate however with a doorway opening of 35"-36" this does not work. The gate is 29" wide but with the 6" extension it is too wide to use the pressure mount as you need to allow another 1-2". Without extension, there is too much of a gap on the sides where a child could get stuck.
