Elemaris XL by Mavea Kissin The Cook Giveaway and Review

The Elemaris XL Water Filtration Pitcher by Mavea is awesome.  This year we moved to a new house and the water is not very good tasting.  I've been wanting to try a Water Filtration Water Pitcher so when I got the chance to work with Mavea I was super excited! 
 
The Elemaris XL 9 cup pitch showed up at my house in very little time and I put it to use right away!  The filter was very easy to put into place and it made our water taste great!  Another reason I love Elemaris XL by Mevea is its Mavea Meter!  The meter uses a 3-way measurement including volume of water, water quality (hardness) and time to tell you exactly when it's time to change to a new filter!  As a mother of two young kids the last thing I want to have to do is try to remember when to replace filters!  With Mavea I don't have to!
 
I was really surprised when I used the water in my K-Cup coffee maker!  I was surprised that my coffee actually tasted better using the water from the Elemaris XL pitcher!  This got me thinking if it can make my coffee taste better what other beverages that I like making will taste better??  That's when I decided it was time to pull my favorite Cucumber Lemonade Recipe out! 
 
Cucumber Lemonade Recipe:

Ingredients:
 
1- Large Cucumber
3/4 Cup Sugar
6 Cups Water
1/2 Cup of Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice (we add a little more)
1 tsp Lemon Zest
3/4 tsp Salt
Ice Cubes
 
Putting it together:
 
1. Wash the Lemon(s) and cucumber.  Peel the Cucumber
 
2. Chop the cucumber up.  If it has a lot of seed remove some.  Add 2 cups of the water into a blender with the cucumber and sugar.
 
3. Blend until the sugar is dissolved (about 3 minutes).  Sieve the drink.
 
4. Add the remaining water and the cucumber mixture into a pitcher.
 
5. Add salt, Lemon Juice, Ice cubes, Lemon zest and stir really good to combine.
 
6.  Pour into glasses with more Ice cubes or Chill and then serve.
*You may garnish with a cucumber slice or a lemon wedge*

 
Let me just say that even my homemade Cucumber Lemonade tasted better with water from my Elemaris XL pitcher!  The Elemaris XL pitcher holds 9 cups of water so it was nice not to have to keep filling the pitcher up with more water, even with a recipe that called for a larger amount of water!
 
Elemaris XL by Mavea is certified to reduce:
Chlorine taste and odor
Heavy Metals
Agricultural Chemicals
Industrial Pollutants
Limescale
 
I highly recommend Mavea Water Filtration Systems! Five stars in my book!

  3. The Mavea pitcher sounds great! I usually drink bottled water because I don't like our tap water. I like that this one tells you when you need a new filter.

  6. We had another filter type pitcher years ago but gave it away before our last move. This holds way more water than that pitcher did and would be handy here! I love ice cold water!
