Filter jug that makes water taste like bottled and doesn’t cost a bomb to replace filters

Hi all. After recommendations please. Always been happy to drink tap water, but, since being on WLIs, I can’t stand the taste (also gone off fizzy drinks/squash etc), so have been drinking bottled water. However, this is obviously creating a lot of plastic waste, which doesn’t sit right with me, so I’d rather come up with a long term solution.

I don’t have a fortune to spend, so not got the budget to have a filter fitted on the tap. Doesn’t need to fit in the fridge as I prefer room temperature water.

I’ve looked at the Britax jugs and a couple of the electric counter top ones, but they all seem to have mixed reviews, so after any recommendations please. Thanks in advance.

I always used to buy a Brita jug, and use cheapo filters when I lived in Portsmouth - the water was just awful to me...

Looks like you can still get generic filter cartridges for about £2 a piece if you buy a dozen at a time.
