KRUPS F4720057 Duo Filters Water Filtration System for KRUPS Coffee Makers, 2-Pack

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:

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.

Makes the best coffee we have ever had. We have been using this filter for about 5 years.

The filters are exactly as ordered and arrived quickly, but Krups has reduced the size of the filters so that now the filter only fills the bottom half of the filter holder, they seem to work just fine though.
