I purchased these BRITA MAXTRA+ water filter cartridges for my BRITA Style XL Water Filter. These water filter cartridges are fantastic. I received a genuine product. The filters come in a BRITA branded box. Each water filter cartridge comes in its own BRITA branded packaging. This multipack offers excellent value for money. On average, a water filter cartridge lasts for about 1 month, subject to how much you consume. I drink about 5-6 pints of water a day. Given the importance of water and filtered water in a hard water area, BRITA is a sensible choice. The product works out better when compared to buying bottled water. There is also less plastic and to my mind it tastes better too! Some people complain that the BRITA MAXTRA+ have a sharp bitter taste. I too have experienced this. Why? It’s complicated. But I’ll try to answer this the best I can. I will also give you a good tip on how to address this. 1. A BRITA MAXTRA+ water filter can remove up to 20% more limescale. This can make the water taste sharp, if you are not used to purified water. 2. A BRITA MAXTRA+ water filter uses carbon to reduce the number of chemicals and particles in the water. This too, can give the water an unpleasant taste. Carbon contains many tiny dimples and crevasses. This results in trapped chemicals and particles within the filter. This can alter the taste of drinking water. When you first buy your BRITA MAXTRA+ water filter cartridge, there are many small holes which contain air and carbon dust. Thus, you must flush your filter several times to purify the filter. Doing this will improve the taste so much. Each time I replace a BRITA MAXTRA+ water filter cartridge, I take 10 simple steps to achieve the best result: 01. Remove and recycle the old BRITA MAXTRA+ cartridge. 02. Give the jug a good scrub, inside and out. 03. Leave it to dry. 04. Insert a new BRITA MAXTRA+ water filter cartridge. 05. Ensure the BRITA MAXTRA+ cartridge clicks into place. 06. Pour water into the jug. 07. Wait for the water to filter through. 08. Pour the water away or water your plants with it, etc. 09. Repeat steps 6 and 8 — 5 to 6 times. 10. Press the reset button on your jug. If you still experience a very minor after taste, don’t worry, this is very short-lived. You can also try a bonus step and leave the water in the jug for 15 minutes on the final rinse. You can even give your brand new BRITA MAXTRA+ cartridge a little shake, add it to a bowl of lukewarm water. Leave the cartridge to soak for 15 minutes. Then follow the 10 steps above. If you follow my steps, you will soon enjoy the freshest and purest water. Delicious! If, despite these steps, you cannot enjoy the water, you may need to invest in an ‘Reverse Osmosis System’! But, try BRITA first, most of you will not be disappointed. If this review and my tips helped, please raise a glass of water and press the helpful button below.

Work well and great price.

These MAXTRA+ cartridges are the official, go-to option for our BRITA jug, and there's no denying they do an excellent job. Living in a hard water area, the difference they make is immediately noticeable. They are fantastic at reducing limescale, which saves our kettle from needing constant descaling, and the taste of the water is significantly improved—much cleaner and fresher, making tea and coffee taste better too. The cartridges are easy to swap out, and the 6-pack provides a decent supply that should last for a good few months. The only reason for dropping a star is the price. They are quite expensive for what they are, and the ongoing cost of replacing them definitely adds up over the year. While the performance is great, it does feel a bit like a premium price. Overall, they are effective and do exactly what they claim to do. I'll continue to use them because the water quality is worth it, but I do wish they were a bit more economical.

Very easy to use and lasts well. Really helps as we have very hard water in our area.

Great value

We’ve been using Brita for years. Great product. They fit the old water filter jugs despite changing the design slightly which is great from the company as we don’t need to buy a new water jug :)

I’ve been using the BRITA S1326 MAXTRA+ cartridges for a while now and they do the job well. The water tastes noticeably cleaner, especially for tea and coffee, with less chlorine taste. They also seem to help with limescale, which is handy for the kettle. Fitting them into my BRITA jug was simple and they last around a month as expected. At £20.99 for six, the cost works out reasonably per litre compared to bottled water. Overall, it’s a convenient way to improve tap water quality without much effort, and having Amazon Prime delivery made it even easier to get started.
