You’ve probably seen ads for reusable, washable filters. Do they work? Sort of. They catch big particles, but they don’t remove chlorine or minerals like the charcoal ones do.
If you use a reusable filter, rinse it every week and replace it every six months. It’s a decent compromise if you hate buying refills.
But for that crisp, diner-quality coffee taste? Stick with the disposable charcoal filters. Your taste buds will send a thank-you note.
