Is the water filter in this machine permanent? Do I have to change the water filter in a regular interval?

Capresso recommends changing the water filter every year or so. Whenever it gets really cloudy so as to have an impact on the drip rate, change. For the last Capresso, I waited two years and that was too long.

Catherine, It does have a charcoal filter in the bottom of the water reservoir, but I only use filtered water in the machine so I've never changed mine nor had any issues.

No, the water filter is replaceable - you chose when to change it depending on the quality of the water you use; tap, bottled etc.

If your home water is satisfactory, you do not need to replace the filter. When you believe the filter has used up its usefulness, pull it out and throw it away. The coffee machine will continue to work just fine.

No it does not have a permanent filter and I sent mine back because it leaked ( a lot) after a couple of weeks.

This is my second one. The last one cracked after about a year of my grandson abusing it. You have to change the filter when the flow slows down. Plain and simple, the filter is getting clogged by your dirty water or dirty pipes. Just think about how much trash is in that filter (and not in your body) when it slows down then simply twist out the clogged filter and replace it with a clean one. We use ours many times a day, so my grandsons have clean water and I don't have to sweat my coffee pot getting clogged with calcium like the fast couple did, before the filter.

There are two filter in this unit. The one at the top of the canister you water every 3months but the one (HEPA) I have yet to replace it. though it is a replaceable filter it doesn't seem to be dirty yet and I have I'm since last May. I love everything about this machine!

This model uses a coffee filter ( a gold one that comes with the machine) but does not use a water filter. Hope this helps.

It is hard to say. The old filters used to have an indicator which was a no-brainer. I usually change mine every few (3) months or so (when I remember). If you notice the water filters more slowly, I would suggest to change it.

The whole filter gets replaced. I don't replace mine every 6 months either; I do it on a as needed basis. I can smell the chorine in the water right away. I typically keep one on hand to change out.

This machine comes with one gold permanent filter that you rinse and reuse, alternatively, cone shaped paper filters are an option. You can stock up before you go, however; I have routinely found these filters across Europe, Mid east, North Africa, Asia and Austarlia

This unit comes with a permanent filter that can be washed and reused. There is also a light on the unit that tells when the filter needs to be cleaned.

Yep, totally depends on your consumption. Thanks to you I tested the water yesterday and OOPS, I have to change the filter, but we have this filter for at least 7 months

No, but once you start using it, it will need to be replaced in about a year or so, especially when you notice a decrease in the flow of the water. We replace ours every year and a half. We have been happy with the Everpure system for years and recently got their quick-change bracket for easier changing of cartridges!

No permanent filter. I'm actually using the disaposable kind, though because they're made for the 4-cup, they're a little small for this coffee maker. 100-Count Coffee Filter 4 Cup

It depends on how much water you're running through the filter. I live in an RV full-time and change my filter every other month.

There is no replacement for the permanent filter - it is permanent - follow instructions provided with unit to wash the filter and it is as good as new

Yes, there is a filter in the unit. I also purchased an extra filter to be prepared when it's time to change it. From other posts on Amazon, I believe the original filter lasts about a year. I've had it for about 6 months and haven't had to change it yet. Hope that helps!

Sorry, I never purchased a permanent filter. I just use the disposable ones.

It depends on how soon your scale build up on the filter. I change mine once a month from November to April.
