I have never been particularly fussy about drinking water. Our local tap water in Cape Town has always tasted fine to me so when I received Brita's new Fill and Serve Carafe to test out, I was a bit skeptical.
My 14 year old son, Jack, is a water addict. He has never liked cooldrinks or fruit juices, so water is his drink of choice. (Wine is my drink of choice - just saying.) So I handed over the new carafe to Jack to put into action. He dutifully followed the instructions and left the water to filter for a short while. He then handed me 2 glasses of water for a taste test. First of all, I surprised myself by being able to taste the difference, and secondly, I correctly identified the filtered water because, despite my initial skepticism, it actually tasted cleaner!
Aside from producing clean and lovely tasting water, I also have to commend Brita on their design. It complements both contemporary and classic styles. It definitely does not look out of place on my table with my vintage French linen tablelinen, Wonkiware dinner plates, bone handled cutlery and French cafe glasses, but would look equally at home in a more modern setting.
Most importantly, the
carafe’s Micro Disc has a 150 litre capacity and its ActivSelect® technology
effectively reduces chlorine and other taste impairing substances while leaving
the ‘good’ minerals in. This is an important consideration in light of the
current dry conditions which prevail across South Africa.
Because I know you are going to rush out and buy one, I thought I would show you some pretty table settings where your new Brita Fill and Serve carafe would look very much at home.
Also, I should mention that although the product was a gift from Brita, all opinions expressed are purely my own.
And, since I fared so well on the water taste test, if any wine farmers out there would like me to do do similar such taste tests - I would be more than happy to oblige!
Till next time

Jack sounds like a nice young man and he'll always be grateful that he's drinking his water. I love that table setting with the dried lavender and natural linens.
ReplyDeleteHello Sharon,
ReplyDeletei agree, this is a beautiful decanter design and suitable for most dining tables. I hope your wish comes true and that several vineyards will be contacting you this week.
