Is filtered water required?

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.

No it is not required but I use it for keeping the pot cleaner and it taste better.

No, filtered water is not required. I've been using plain tap water - and the filter that came with this great coffee maker and fits on top of the coffee basket.. Think I will buy more of those filters when time runs its course on this one (I believe its use is for one month). Hope you enjoy your Mr. Coffee Maker as much as I'm enjoying mine.

No. It should be available for drink without filtering. However, once opened, water shall be consumed in relatively short period. Only sealed condition means for long-time storage.

Yes but if you have hard water it might cause build up in your machine. We used filtered water or bottled water.

I don't own this, but one of the reviews posted here says no filters are required. Thought that might help you.

Sorry to be so late ... but no the filter is stainless steel so all you need to do is to wash regularly..

You can buy a filter for it, but it is not required to make it work. I use distilled water in mine and there is no danger.

I use filtered water as well and still use the charcoal filters. They help keep the water fresh throughout the week in between cleanings.

I do use filtered water....same as what I drink. So far I have rinsed the filters, gently massaging them to remove any loose debris and reused them. They seem to rinse out clean.

Hi Mary - no you don't have to use the filter but I do because even pure water has minerals that can build up and clog the water inlet. This is my second one - the first lasted over 15 years. makes the best coffee - enjoy

Yes. I use filtered tap water. Some people use distilled water, but I find that tap water works just fine.

I use filtered water most of the time, but tap water can be used unless it is full of minerals. Very easily cleaned. I rinse it and wipe off any oil residue with a paper towel. It's the easiest one to clean I've ever used. I'm not sure of the warranty.

Thank you for your question! A filter is not required for this system to operate properly.

Yes. You should check the recommendations regarding filtration of non-potable water though.

No filter is required -- just fill up a bottle of water and attach it to the humidifier. I have used it three times so far and it seems to really help my hotel room stays.
