Twelve NSF-42 certified coconut charcoal filters for all Cuisinart coffee machines, individually wrapped.
Where we land on it The only filter on this shelf with an independent certification behind it: NSF-42, named and claimed as independently tested. Everything else here asserts that it removes chlorine and leaves it there.
independently certified for NSF-42 to ensure the safety and integrity of all components in the filter.
Every filter here claims to remove chlorine, calcium and odors. Seven of them say so on their own authority.
NSF-42 covers taste, odor and chlorine rather than health contaminants, so it is not a guarantee of purity. It is, however, the only thing on this shelf that anyone outside the seller has checked.
More per filter than three other twelve-packs for the same Cuisinart machines, which make the same claims with nothing behind them. Whether a standard is worth a few dollars over two years is the only question this page can put to you.

A standard for aesthetic effects — chlorine, taste and odor — rather than for health contaminants. The listing says the filter is independently certified to it and that the certification covers the safety and integrity of all components. It is the only standard cited anywhere on this shelf.
The maker names it; no figure follows. Seven other filters on this shelf say "charcoal" or "carbon" without naming a source. Treat it as more disclosure rather than as a measured advantage.
Twelve filters described as up to two years, which works out at two months each. That matches the explicit interval published by two other filters on this shelf.
These coffee machines share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.
