A britta filter will alter hardness slightly for the 1st 3 weeks but not after that. This is much more important in an espresso machine then a drip machine but excessive build up is going to keep your elements from heating proper and impart taste. Purr filter have no effect on hardness. Zero water claims to reduce harness 0.
Here is a little something on water. http://www.big-rick.com/coffee/waterfaq.html

Spent some wedding gift cards today:

I was planning on getting the Mini actually, then I decided on the B50 but Macy's One Day sale + extra 10% off from our registry means I scored this guy for $129.99.

I bought one for the wife at Christmas.
It was a great choice - though I will admit to drinking more coffee now.
I like the varieties that are available for throuhout the day.
Caribou Daybreak
Green Mountain Nantucket Blends
Green Mountain Extra Bold Sumatran
Even like the Green Mountain Hot Cocoa.
Had to experiment with the right size dispense to get the desired flavor.

Got a b40 last week. Chai Latte is quite nice.
Still working my way through the sampler to pick my faves on coffee.

Girlfriend picked me up one for Chirstmas. Love this thing during the week. Our favorite so far is the rain forest nut. Keurig is where we have been getting most of ours. I have not perfected the reuseable filter yet.

That's the same machine we have as well...and I also have the same micorwave...just on the other side of the Keurig.
:-)
I absolutely LOVE this machine. I've had for about 2 years or so and couldn't be happier. It's great for us because I leave the house at about 7 every morning and my fiance doesn't work the same hours everyday, so making an entire pot of coffee is out of the question.
Figured I would share a couple of sites I've found some really good deals on and...don't forget to look for those online coupons either:

Ok, as I said I love the single cup offerings.
But why, oh why did they have to start designing supporting items?
(The k-cup holder is really cool)

I just use an old spice rack for my K-cup holder. Works great and it didn't cost me anything extra
