Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter
Nice tasting water

The Hiker Pro is a good, solid, lightweight water filter that will not leave a bad taste in your mouth. I bought it just because of the quick disconnect features but got a whole lot more in return. It is easy to use and is compact enough that it doesn't take up a whole lot of room in your pack. There aren't a lot of parts to it, so field maintenance (if needed) is a breeze. I recommend it highly and have convinced several of my friends to get one of their own.
