Very few filters are rated for Chloramine reduction.

Charlie of Your Water Company here in the Bay Area is one of the few vendors that I know of that deal with it. He's a bit of a fanatic (if he made espresso he'd have a Scace, pressure- and thermo-loggers, a 0.01 g scale, 27 filter baskets,...) and we've been very happy with the results over the years. We have the five-filter under-sink set up and Charlie stops by every six months to disassemble, clean, and replace the filters at what I consider a very reasonable price.
Cool, thanks for the link to Your Water Company.

Re: Chloromine, I don't really see how it would affect the taste of coffee but it certainly poses a health risk over time, it seems. What do I know? I'm chugging Brita water like there's no tomorrow. :lol:
