well? Impart any taste to the water?
I like mine... I've used a filter in a pitcher for many a year
(probably about 9 years actually), and finally switched to one that
is fixed right to the tap.
Makes water go from "fine, I'll drink this, it's ok" to "pretty
darned good". Worth it, even if you're in a city (such as
Minneapolis) which has highly-rated tap water.
..and if it imparted a taste, that would sort of miss the point,
wouldn't it?
This isn't a "filter out micro-organisms" kind of filter, like you'd
use for drinking from a "clean" mountain stream while you're on a
hike - those can sometimes make the water taste weird. Britas are
all about just making it taste better. (there may be other
filtration goodness going on there, but flavor is the selling point).
