Water Filter Guide for Keurig K250 Brewers

Yes, the Keurig K250 coffee brewer a water filter spot located in the machine’s rear water reservoir. The K250 uses charcoal water filters measuring roughly 2 inches long by 1.125 inches tall. The filter is placed inside a BPA-free, clear plastic filter handle (possibly sold separately), which is then placed inside the water tank located on the back of the brewer.

Simply twist the clear plastic filter housing until it comes loose from the bottom of the water reservoir. Remove the old charcoal water filter from the housing by unsnapping the bottom filter holder. Insert a new, fresh water filter cartridge and snap the filter holder back on so that the filter is securely in place. Finally, align the bottom of the filter housing with the indentations on the bottom of your water tank and twist into place.
