Yes you can, this model has a water purifier built in! I can't say enough about my Keurig, I absolutely love it. I have spent a LOT of money in the past on looking for the best and in this one I have found it. Get a perfect cup every time in literally seconds. I have ordered another one for my boat. You won't be disappointed with this purchase!

Absolutly! This model came with an in tank filter. Our water here is great so I just put in the filter because it came with it. My wife uses the hot water for her tea bags, no k-cup needed. This is really a nice unit!!!

I have filter on my tap water and there is a filter in the coffee maker. There is to much junk in plain tap water in my house so I wouldn't use tap

I don't think so. The system uses a filter that is inexpensive and replaceable. I use tap water and have had no problems. If you have very hard water, such as from a well, you may have to purge the coffee maker from time to time by running a pot or two with vinegar. Otherwise, I think no other maintenance should be required.

i just use regular old tap water, it has a filter in it (doesnt need to be replaced)... they say to clean it out once a week... im sure if you really wanted to you could use filtered water, but its fine with just tap water :)

Plain tap water works just fine, main thing to keep in mind is to make sure the temperature is agreeable, and that the sensation takes some getting used to. Make sure you have a few hours in close proximity to a bathroom to make sure you expel everything.

Tap water is fine. You can check your areas water quality with the water company. I would avoid well water.

I always use bottled water in this type of device, I also do in a steam iron. If you have very soft iron free water I guess you could use tap water. With the high evaporation rate to create steam, I do not trust tap water. I used a steam iron with tap water once and it put brown stains on a white shirt (iron in the water). The iron also clogged up rather quickly.

The website says plain tap water and every tap water has different mineral contents so I imagine well water would be fine. If you want to be 100% certain I would contact the manufacturer.

No, any tap water is fine as far as I know. I would just always let it dry thoroughly after use. This is a great product!

We have been using regular tap water, as the instructions for the iron allow. But if your water is rather "hard" (meaning it contains chemicals and it is difficult to get many suds when using soap and water to wash your hands, etc.) then distilled water would probably be the better way to go.

The book says to use tap water, unless your water is very hard. It also says not to use water that has been processed through a home water-softening system, since they contain minerals.

You sure can. I own 3 of these and fill all of them with tap water. No problems :)

I use filtered water and have no problems. I don't think I would use tap water.

I have always just used tap water and have not had any problems. I don't think distilled, filtered, or pre-boiled water is necessary.

I asked my doctor and he strongly recommended distilled water only -- no tap, no filtered. There's just too much of a risk of infection from tap water. I wouldn't chance it.

No. Regular water but you need to add disinfectant to prevent mold and bacteria.

I would contact the company and clarify. I use filtered tap water, but to be sure, I'd believe the company over a description on Amazon.

You can buy their specialized liquid or you can use plain water with just a little dish soap mixed in. Both work well.
