If you really want high quality filtered water however, no charcoal filter is EVER really going to compare with a decent reverse osmosis filter. Aside from a cup of tea in the morning and maybe a beer or two a few nights out of the week, water is 90% of my fluid intake. I used Brita filters for years as a college student, then finally splurged on a nice 4-stage, two hundred fifty dollar countertop R.O. filter with a 1 gallon reservoir. Sure it was bulky and kind of a pain to operate (had to buy a countdown timer to tell me when the reservoir was full, which usually took 35-40 minutes) but the water quality was so much better and totally worth the extra space, money, and time for someone like me who drinks almost a gallon of water a day.

So get a charcoal filter like the Brita if you must, or if you don’t drink all that much water a day.
