I forgot how I came across Soma, but it was probably a Kickstarter email or a news article. I loved the concept of a water filter I’d be proud to keep out on the kitchen counter. Even better was that the filter would be fully compostable! When I discovered that, I knew that I wanted one of these. I absolutely hate throwing things out, so if I can recycle or compost (or just keep) something, I’m super happy. I feel better about how it will impact the environment and when I get a yard I’ll be interested in seeing how the filter composts. For now I’ll just trust them and put it in the compost pile. That’s a pretty rewarding feeling and I get to feel even better knowing they’ve partnered with charity:water to help make clean drinking water something everyone in the world can enjoy. It was a long wait, but my Soma filter and carafe finally arrived and I’m excited to have it as a staple in the new place, where it will fit right in on our beautiful kitchen counter tops with sunlight streaming in. It’ll be great!

I think these filters are definitely a step above the rest of the other pitcher style water filters, considering it’s much better look. But I have heard that it doesn’t hold that much water, and it is a little awkward to pour because of the wide part where you are supposed to hold it. Even so, being able to reduce the carbon footprint is definitely something very important.

True, the design does mean that they hold less, but I never need that much water at one time anyway, so you just fill it up right after using for next time’s serving. Holding it isn’t so bad and just for the cool hourglass design, I think it’s worth the different grip. Not like a normal filter is any less heavy.
