Brita Large 10 Cup Water Filter Pitcher, Includes 1 Filter, Bright White

This Brita 10-Cup Water Filter Pitcher has been great for my apartment. I recently moved into a place by myself, and since my fridge doesn't have a water dispenser, I needed something that could hold a good amount of water without constantly needing to be refilled. This pitcher is the perfect size for me. I use a 30 oz water bottle, and I can fill it about two times before needing to add more water to the pitcher. The filtered water tastes great, and I like that I always have cold water ready in the fridge. I specifically wanted a larger pitcher because I drink a lot of water throughout the day, and this one has worked out perfectly. It's easy to fill, fits well in the refrigerator, and holds enough water to keep up with my daily use. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a larger-capacity water filter pitcher.

Of late, I’ve felt like I’ve been living in an Eastern Bloc country during the Cold War days. By that, I mean that whenever I buy a brand-name product, I find myself disappointed by the poor quality despite the brand-name price. It is almost as if items on shelves are cheap knockoffs of the real thing, e.g., a “Samsoong” pretending to be a “Samsung” (and I chose that brand for a reason - hint, hint). I know this impression isn’t just true for me, either, as there are plenty of YouTube videos documenting this as well, and even the New York Times had a piece about how former luxury brands are now rubbish as well. Having said that, I am happy to report that this Brita water pitcher is not part of that awful trend in quality. It is the first thing in a very long time that was worth every penny, Truthfully, I am surprised by this, as my previous experience with Brita pitchers was not positive. The filters were always very good, but the pitcher design left much to be desired. Specifically, my previous two Brita pitchers had a very nasty habit of spilling water onto my feet, table, whatever, whenever there was any water in the reservoir. While some people might appreciate getting a good foot-washing whenever they pour themselves a glass of water, I did not. This issue was largely due to the way the reservoir cap sat lightly upon the pitcher itself, giving water in the reservoir an easy way to escape when tilted downwards, such as when pouring, as well as giving the cap a 50-50 chance of falling off and landing on the table during a pour. It was an infuriating and lazy design flaw, frankly, so infuriating that I was tempted to take a picture of an ancient Grecian pitcher, tape it to the Brita pitcher with a note suggesting Brita’s engineers study it carefully to see how pitchers should work, and throw the entire thing on the front lawn of the corporate HQ. I was so disgusted with the design that I switched to Brita’s competitor, Pur, only to discover that their design had the same flaws, but worse! When people talk about “late-stage capitalism,” they might be on to something… Recently, that pitcher’s poor quality began to fragment…literally, so I needed a new one. After reading a positive review of Brita’s new design in the New York Times’ “Wirecutter” newsletter, I decided to gamble with my money and return to the brand. And I am glad that I did; it truly is a vast improvement over the older design. I knew I had a winner when I removed the pitcher from the box and discovered that the leaky reservoir cap held in place by mere gravity had been replaced with a cap INSET into the pitcher itself, ensuring that water inside the reservoir could not leak out when pouring and, needless to say, making it impossible for the cap to fall off as well. Finally! What is more, ergonomically speaking, I find this design to be a pleasure to hold, with an easily graspable handle that makes handling a full pitcher much less of an awkward experience. As I wrote above, Brita always had a good filter, but the new generation of filters is a step up in quality. I am fortunate in that the local water is fine except for the taste of chlorine, so I do not need a filter that scrubs the water heavily. Having said that, I am glad to see that the filter now removes even more contaminants than in years past (from what I recall), and is better at removing that chlorine taste. Out of curiosity, I purchased an “Elite” filter. These are roughly twice the price of the regular filters, but they last up to six months, so the value is there. The quality is also superior to the standard filter, as I could not detect any chlorine aftertaste after using the Elite filter. The Elite filters cost more, but they are worth it. Overall, this Brita pitcher is the first thing I have purchased in a long time that was well worth the money. A smart design (finally!), coupled with a choice of two very good to excellent filters, I am at a loss to find something to criticize. Well done, Brita. May other companies follow your example.

Works well, cleans city water, no odors. Rather slow to refill but worth the effort

I was between this and the water drop, but I wanted a filter that wasn't digital. This removes things that taste bad and I drink a lot of water. (my doctor told me not to drink so much. If you can believe it.) Anyway, I was torn between the 6 cup and the 10 cup and I'm glad I got the 10 cup. It's not huge, but it is heavy. I am 60 and i spilled all over my fridge the first time I tried to grab it to use it. I would be careful if you have any hand weakness. I don't regret this purchase at all, as I was using several water bottles throughout the day.

I use this Brita every single day without fail while living in my dorm room. It filters so quickly and so well. I keep it out of my fridge (since I only have a mini fridge), but I use the water for my ice tray and it all works out fine. PSA!!! To get the entire top piece off, push on the two little lips at the top of the handle. There should be overhang from the white pice that you can push upwards to pop the top off. Don’t break it!!

Love this pitcher. The tap water where I live tastes like straight up chemicals but this filtered pitcher completely eliminates that and makes the water taste normal! It had saved us from buying plastic water bottles all the time. The filter is super easy to install and replace. Holds a lot of water but can quickly refill when needed.

I couldn’t do a sink nozzle so I had to go with the pitcher instead, and I love her! Super easy to use! Very great quality! There isn’t a bad taste in the water, it honestly taste so clean! It holds a good amount of water, enough to fill my Stanley! I love it!

This filter pitcher looks and works better than my previous filters. I also like the way of lid opening.

Una maravilla

works fine - large capacity and will fit in the fridge door. plastic is a bit flimsy - arrived with a crack, and no box - just a plastic bag - but is doing the job fine..

This pitcher that I bought is beautiful and big. The Brita water filtration system is really second to none. I enjoy every last drop of water I drink now. The filters do a thorough job of filtering the water, I know, my water needs lots of filtration. Excellent system.

Utilisation depuis deux ans, je peu dire que le gout de l'eau est fantastique.

Disappointed with the item. Item received is not as mentioned in the description. No indicator light available.
