I bought a week ago with this filter jug because it was written here that the filter at Britta does not fit so well. Since I have two pots, one for business and one for home, I was Britta permanently too expensive. But because I was able to make a direct comparison and taste must say, Britta cuts worse .... because this water has a slight aftertaste that has always bothered me a little. In Claro it tastes soft and round ..... for my taste definitely better lot. What a previous speaker against Britta emphasized as positive that the number of fillings is counted instead of days ..... well, also recommends Claro after 30 days to change the filter. But then one has an overview of the amount of filtered water .... I think that's good. And Klaro recommends two filter programs for a new filter before drinking. That the water would taste stale after a few hours, I can not confirm. I forgive only 4 stars because the upper, white jug when it is closed, after a while inside something smells like plastic .... which, however, does not affect the water tasted ..... maybe because the filtered water located in the lower, transparent container, which does not smell. I hope that is still considering.
