Keurig Water Filter Starter Kit (Short) — K-Duo, K-Compact & K-Mini Mate Plus
This Keurig water filter starter kit helps improve the taste of your coffee by filtering water before it reaches your brewer. Charcoal filtration reduces chlorine, odors, and impurities that affect flavor and contribute to mineral buildup inside your machine.
The kit includes a short handle water filter holder and 3 charcoal water filter cartridges — a simple, effective way to maintain cleaner water for better brewing performance in every cup.

Keurig should have included this with the coffee maker. This fits great and was less expensive than the one sold by keurig.

I purchased a Pure HQ on Amazon because Keurig was out of stock for their water filter kit. This works, but plastic seems flimsy and fit is sort of lose in tank. Did not notice a change much in coffee taste.
