Filter

Owners appreciate the CLARIS Smart filter system in the Z10, noting that it helps keep minerals and impurities out of the machine, reduces how often they need to descale, and supports better tasting coffee while protecting the internals over the long term.

Owners like that the Philips 3300 LatteGo supports AquaClean filters and even includes one in the box, since using the filter with reasonably soft water significantly reduces how often descaling is needed, although marketing promises about thousands of cups between descaling are viewed as optimistic.

The AquaClean water filter is a clear advantage: it installs in the tank and is positioned as a key way to extend the interval between descaling cycles.

The dual micro-filter/double-basket design is positioned as much finer than standard French press plungers, delivering a cleaner cup with less grit; this review reinforces that the fine-mesh filtration removes sediment effectively.

A water filter is included and highlighted for improving taste and reducing scale buildup; replacements are available. Using the filter can reduce how often descaling is needed.

It includes a reusable mesh cone filter with a handy handle that can be emptied straight into the compost and rinsed under the tap, but also accepts number 4 paper filters for a cleaner cup, and the conical basket handles one to four cup brews effectively with little sediment reaching the carafe when used correctly.

It uses standard flat basket style paper filters or compatible permanent filters, and the removable, dishwasher safe brew basket makes filter changes and cleanup straightforward while paper filters make disposing of grounds easy even though no brand specific permanent filter is included.

Uses common number four cone paper filters or a compatible gold filter that are simple to insert and discard, aided by a drip-stop style brew basket that keeps filter handling straightforward.

The activated carbon filter is viewed as a meaningful upgrade for water quality; rinsing before first use is recommended and the filter is easy to attach and remove.

Includes a washable stainless fine-mesh filter, and optional paper filters that help reduce fine sediment for a cleaner cup compared with using the mesh filter alone.

Uses standard 8–12 cup basket-style paper filters in the brew basket, keeping filter setup simple and familiar for typical drip-coffee routines.

Filtering is flexible and well-equipped, with a reusable GoldTone filter and a separate basket for #4 paper filters, plus a charcoal water filter to improve water quality; filter choice can be matched to different coffees.

Uses paper filters, with standard 8-12 cup filters fitting the flat-bottom basket; the review also notes a specific base diameter requirement for proper fit.

The removable cone shaped filter basket works like a pour over dripper and pairs well with both Moccamaster branded and standard number four paper filters, and reviewers appreciate that the machine ships with a couple of starter papers and can also be used with an optional permanent filter for less waste.

The included water filter helps reduce scaling and can make descaling much less frequent, supporting easier long-term maintenance.

Filter flexibility is a plus: the included gold-tone filter supports a fuller-bodied cup, while paper filters offer a cleaner, brighter brew; overall setup is straightforward and lets users choose between richer texture or a more refined finish.

Supports both cone and flat-bottom brewing with a large basket, a cone adapter, and a reusable flat-bottom metal filter included. It’s flexible for different filter styles and also supports pour-over style setups when configured appropriately.

Users like the included reusable filter since it reduces the need for paper filters and is easy to remove and clean, with added convenience from being dishwasher-friendly.

Includes a removable brew basket with a gold-tone reusable filter (paper optional); reviewers note cleanup is easy with dishwasher-safe parts, though grounds must be emptied from the reusable filter.

Uses cone paper filters and includes a small starter supply (only a few filters), so ongoing filter purchases are expected; using the wrong fit can restrict water flow and reduce extraction consistency.

Ships with pressurized baskets that make dialing-in forgiving and also includes an E.S.E. pad basket; many owners upgrade to precision baskets (like IMS) for better extraction quality once paired with a capable grinder.

The included permanent gold-tone filter keeps day-to-day brewing simple, but filtering performance is criticized as subpar in this review, making the filtration setup a notable weak point despite otherwise good brew results.

Filter options are flexible: it includes a reusable basket and also supports standard paper filters, with parts described as straightforward to use and clean.

Uses standard batch-brew filters for larger batches and Kalita Wave 185 filters for the single-serve setup; the review notes both filter types are included in the box and tied directly to switching between batch and single-serve modes.

Uses a removable filter funnel that fits #4 cone paper filters, but no starter filters are included and the manual provides limited guidance on which to buy; paper filters do make used grounds easy to lift out for quick cleanup.

This brewer does not include a reusable filter but works with standard 8–12 cup basket paper filters or a compatible reusable basket, and the reservoir accepts an optional drop-in water filter cartridge that typically must be purchased separately to help improve taste.

The brewer uses standard #4 paper filters, and the review demonstrates a simple, conventional unbleached filter setup without special requirements.
