Summary: They do indeed filter -
Comment: Given the water in Davis - filtering is always recommended - water passes through - coffee tastes great - and the fit

Customer Rating:
Summary: hey, it's a coffee filter
Comment: Man do I love my Capresso drip coffee maker. My Capresso needs filters. That's fine. I'd give it gold bullion if it asked...
Since they are not made of gold, these filters get a 4 for price being a bit too high.

Summary: Capresso water filter - not really necessary
Comment: As much as I love Capresso products - this one is questionable.

You might wonder what I mean by this - well, first of all look at the costs for just three filters. Second: If you use these filters as recommended on the package (60 uses or 6 weeks) then just do the math.

Yes, you will pay in one year more than the cost of your coffee maker. I have a Capresso coffee maker that cost over $200 and I love it but cannot afford these filters.

To beat this unnecessary filter and its expense, this is what you do. Simply use filtered water. Quality filtered water will be without all the particles and contaminants that will hurt your coffee maker. Then, follow the coffee maker's instructions regarding its cleaning - like using white vinegar to keep the system free of harmful calcification.

Manufacturers are in business to make money and they will sell you whatever you believe you must buy - these filters are not necessary!

Summary: Perfect fit
Comment: This item is a perfect fit for my capresso machine. My model # is 448. It makes the coffee taste better, removing some bitterness I was tasting from the water before.
