The coffee filter of today was invented in 1908 by German housewife Melitta Bentz and has been the cornerstone of coffee enjoyment for over 100 years. Using a copper pot and a piece of blotting paper, Melitta Bentz developed the world's first coffee filter. Her invention revolutionised coffee enjoyment around the world and laid the foundation for a unique brand.

Today, this family owned and operated company is led by fourth-generation descendants. Each minute, roughly 300,000 cups of Melitta® coffee are prepared worldwide. That is approximately 5,000 cups of coffee per second. Specialists in coffee preparation: from the invention of the coffee filter to coffee machines and complex, fully automatic machines. The ability of the character of a coffee to fully develop depends on its preparation. With Melitta, you can enjoy coffee whenever and wherever you want: whether at home, on the go or in the office. The Melitta brand is a guarantee of outstanding coffee, making it a household name among coffee aficionados.

Melitta's aim is to protect people, animals and the environment while ensuring the continued existence of the company. That is why all of their products carry an Eco & Care label.
