Choosing a coffee water filter is less about finding a charcoal filter in the right pack size and more about matching the filter to the brewer on your counter. In coffee kettles, scales & water, these two replacements serve distinct machine families: Mr. Coffee Activated Charcoal Water Filter Disc Replacement WFF - 12 pks is made for a long list of Mr. Coffee coffeemakers, while 12) GENUINE Keurig Coffee Charcoal Water Filter Cartridge Replacement UNIVERSAL is for specified Keurig K-Cup brewing systems. Pick the wrong format and the lower price or longer replacement interval will not solve the fit problem.
Quick verdict
Choose the Mr. Coffee filter discs when your machine is among the named FT, IS, DR, CG, DW, SK, JW, JH, DB, VB, RM, TF, NC, PL, NL, UN, or UR 12-cup series models. At $6.99, the discs are the lower-priced route for that clearly defined Mr. Coffee group.
Choose the Keurig cartridges when you have a Keurig K-Cup brewing system from before Keurig 2.0. The $22.00 bundle carries a different replacement rhythm: every two months or 60 tank refills rather than every month. Keurig 2.0 owners should rule out the cartridge bundle because its compatibility description specifically excludes those brewers.

Where Mr. Coffee and Keurig each fit
Mr. Coffee filter discs make sense for the named Mr. Coffee 12-cup series. The model list is the clearest reason to select them, especially when your brewer's model letters match one of the stated series. The description also says the discs remove chlorine and improve the flavors of coffee and tea.
Keurig cartridges fit the older Keurig K-Cup route. Their stated schedule of two months or 60 tank refills may suit someone who prefers a less frequent change interval than the monthly instruction attached to the Mr. Coffee discs. That convenience applies only within the pre-2.0 Keurig compatibility range.
Product notes
Mr Coffee Activated Charcoal Water Filter Disc Replacement WFF - 12 pks
The Mr. Coffee replacement discs are the straightforward pick for an owner of one of the explicitly named Mr. Coffee models. That extensive model list gives this pack a concrete use case rather than asking you to rely on a broad filter description. Activated charcoal is described as helping remove chlorine and improve the flavor of both coffee and tea, which makes the discs relevant if water taste is part of your brewing routine. The tradeoff is the maintenance cadence: the instructions call for replacement every month. The package contains 12 filter discs and is described as a one-year supply, so it is best suited to a household prepared to keep to that monthly schedule.
12) GENUINE Keurig Coffee Charcoal Water Filter Cartridge Replacement UNIVERSAL
The Keurig cartridge bundle is aimed at eligible Keurig K-Cup brewing systems, with each cartridge individually wrapped. Choose it when your brewer is from before the Keurig 2.0 generation and you prefer the stated replacement guidance of every two months or 60 tank refills. The 12 cartridges are described as a 24-month supply, giving the bundle a long planned replacement cycle. Charcoal filtration is described as helping remove chlorine from water. The key limitation is specific and important: the cartridges are not compatible with Keurig 2.0 brewing systems. For that machine generation, the cartridge bundle is not the appropriate match regardless of its longer change interval.
Final choice by use case
Pick the Mr. Coffee Activated Charcoal Water Filter Disc Replacement WFF - 12 pks for a matching Mr. Coffee 12-cup series brewer, particularly if the named model list includes your machine. Its $6.99 price and month-by-month replacement plan make the choice simple within that family.
Pick the Keurig charcoal cartridge bundle for a compatible pre-2.0 Keurig K-Cup brewer when a two-month or 60-refill replacement cycle better suits your routine. The $22.00 price reflects a different filter format and a 24-month supply description, but compatibility with your brewer remains the deciding factor.
