Doesn't it stand to reason that if you start with better tasting water you'll end up with better tasting coffee? Not only do these filters purify your tap water, they also reduce lime buildup, consequently you won't need to go through a descaling, cleaning process as often.

I purchased 4 Duo Filter F472 for my FMF5. These filters should last through all of 2009 if replaced every 3 months as stated on the box. I noticed my coffee tasting a little bitter over the past few weeks. We throw the carafe in the dishwasher along with all of the parts. I then decided to replace the filter a month early and I noted two shocking things. 1: the filter and the grey filter holder had mold all over it. We could not even pull the filter out without it sticking. 2: The base were the filter holder sits had a puddle of water in the unit. This unit has not been used in over two weeks. I have contacted Krups and they have stated that I need to wait for a supervisor to call me back (24-48hrs) and I should be using a calcium "calcify"cleaner in the machine "often". No exact amount of times but "often" was given.
Be aware that you might have to wipe the water out of the base under the grey filter holder.
Krups suggests :
Descaling
Descaling is necessary to keep your coffee machine running efficiently. The frequency of
descaling depends on the hardness of your water and how often you use the coffee machine.
If you notice the brew cycle has slowed it is generally time to descale the machine.
See the chart below:
Type of Water Without Duo Filter With Duo Filter
Water Filtration Water filtration
Hard 40 uses 80 uses
Soft 80 uses 160 uses
* Before descaling, remove the filter holder (k).
* You may use either the Krups descaling solution diluted in 8 ounces of water or 8 ounces of
white vinegar.
* Pour the solution or vinegar into water reservoir (b) and start the coffee machine (without
coffee).
* Allow half the liquid to run into the carafe, then switch off and let stand for 1 hour.
* Restart the coffee machine to complete the cycle.
* Rinse the coffee machine by running it through 2 full cylces with water only.
* On the timer models if the display continues to read "CALC" repeat the process again.

My old Krups Coffee Maker died after 11 years and I had to replace it. At first I was angry I had to buy something in addition to coffee and filters for the new maker, but these duo filters do just what they say they will. I was pleasantly surprised, it makes the best coffee I've ever made at home. The town I live in has very hard water, but even still they will last 3 months, and are not that expensive.

When I use free trade naturally decaffinated freshly ground coffee beans and the Duofilter in my Krups coffeemaker, I get the smoothest most delicious cup of coffee available anywhere on the planet! It beats out any coffee served today at a gourmet coffee shop. I also found the best price for Duofilters here on Amazon.

I have no idea if these custom made little packs of charcoal are doing anything positive for my morning coffee or not. They seemed to have designed this machine to incorporate them...so I use them as recommended.
