BRITA Metro Water Filter Pitcher — 6-Cup Fiery Red, SmartLight Indicator & BPA-Free Compact Design

The BRITA Metro 6-cup pitcher delivers cleaner, better-tasting water from your tap while saving money and reducing single-use plastic.

Compact and designed for everyday use, the BRITA Metro pitcher combines certified filtration with a SmartLight change indicator so you always know when to swap the cartridge. This small, BPA-free pitcher holds six cups, fits most refrigerator doors, and uses BRITA Standard filters to cut chlorine taste and odor plus select heavy metals. One included Standard filter lasts about two months (or roughly 40 gallons), replacing up to 300 single-use 16.9 oz plastic bottles and making it easier to keep fresh water on hand without the waste.

How does the Metro pitcher improve tap water taste and safety?

The Metro uses BRITA Standard filtration media certified by WQA/NSF to reduce chlorine taste and odor along with copper, mercury, and cadmium commonly found at low levels in municipal and well supplies. Filtration happens instantly as you pour—no waiting for a jug to sit. While it reduces these substances, filter performance depends on your local water quality and proper cartridge changes.

• WQA/NSF-certified removal of chlorine taste and odor
• Reduces copper, mercury, and cadmium for cleaner-tasting water
• Instant pour-through filtration—no chilling or priming required
• Suitable for potable tap water only; results vary by source

What does the SmartLight indicator do and how accurate is it?

The SmartLight is BRITA's most precise reminder for cartridge life, tracking filter usage and alerting you when it's time to replace the Standard filter—about every 40 gallons or two months under average household use. The light takes the guesswork out of maintenance so you get consistent performance without over-replacing filters. Resetting the indicator after inserting a new cartridge is quick and straightforward.

• Tracks gallons used and estimates remaining life
• Alerts you at the recommended 40-gallon replacement point
• Easy reset when installing a new BRITA Standard filter
• Helps maintain optimal filtration performance

Will this pitcher fit my refrigerator or dorm room?

The Metro's slim, space-efficient silhouette is engineered to fit in most refrigerator doors and many compact fridges or dorm-room setups. Its easy-fill lid allows refilling without removing the entire top, which is handy in tight spaces. The 6-cup capacity balances countertop convenience with enough water for small households, couples, or single users.

• 6-cup (about 48 oz) capacity for compact storage
• Space-saving shape fits most fridge doors and mini-fridges
• Easy-fill hinged lid for quick refills in tight spaces
• Lightweight, BPA-free construction for everyday handling

How eco-friendly and cost-saving is switching to BRITA?

Each Standard filter can replace up to 300 single-use 16.9 oz plastic bottles, significantly cutting plastic waste and the recurring cost of bottled water. Over a year, using replacement cartridges instead of buying bottles reduces landfill waste and typically lowers your per-liter beverage spend. Replacement filters are widely available and work across most BRITA pitchers and dispensers (except Stream), simplifying upkeep.

• One Standard filter replaces ~300 plastic bottles
• Filter life: ~40 gallons or two months per Standard filter
• Compatible with most BRITA pitchers and dispensers (not Stream)
• Optional Elite filters available for longer life and performance

Who is this for: The BRITA Metro 6-cup pitcher is ideal for individuals, couples, students, or small households who want quick access to filtered water without bulky equipment. It's especially well suited to apartment kitchens, dorm rooms, office lunchrooms, or anyone who wants to cut single-use plastic and maintain consistent taste with low maintenance. If you prefer a compact, refrigerator-friendly solution with an accurate filter-life indicator, the Metro offers a practical, affordable choice.
