Twelve individually sealed charcoal filters for the Cuisinart Grind & Brew, Programmable and PerfecTemp series.
Where we land on it Twelve filters for Cuisinart with the replacement interval published two ways — two months, or sixty tank refills — and instructions in the box. The clearest schedule on this shelf at one of the lowest prices.
Time and usage. That is the right way to publish a filter interval, because a machine used twice a week and one used four times a day wear a filter differently.
Three of the eight filters on this shelf publish an interval at all, and two of those are from this maker.
No standard, no test, no dimensions. On a shelf where one filter carries NSF-42, that is the gap — and it is the same gap on six of the other seven.
Read on the day this page was built: $12 at the American Amazon shop.
Read from Keepa on the day this page was last revised; stock and price both move without notice.
At $12, it is the 5 cheapest of the 8 models in this category published here.

The listing names the Coffee Grind & Brew, Burr Grind & Brew, Single Cup Grind & Brew, Programmable and PerfecTemp series. Three other Cuisinart filters on this shelf say "all models"; one names about thirty model numbers and gives the filter dimensions.
Whichever arrives first, and in hard water sooner than either. For a daily brewer, sixty refills of the tank usually takes longer than two months, so the calendar is the binding one.
The listings do not let you tell. Seven filters here say charcoal or carbon with no source and no test; one names coconut charcoal and an NSF-42 certification. On published information, that one is the only differentiated filter on the shelf.
These coffee machines share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.

A Cuisinart Grind & Brew or PerfecTemp owner who wants the schedule written down
Amazon reports what buyers took in the month before this page was last checked: at least 3,000.
The figure is a floor, rounded by Amazon, and read through Keepa — it says what buyers picked, not what a maker claims.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for coffee equipment and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
In-tank cartridge · up to 5,000 cups
Philips claims up to 5,000 cups without descaling if the filter is replaced on schedule. That is broadly true and entirely conditional — miss a replacement and the claim expires with it.
Best for: Philips and Saeco super-automatic owners on medium to hard water.
