Melitta Paper Coffee Filters

Melitta is an iconic family-run brand that revolutionized the coffee experience. The company was founded in Dresden, Germany, in 1908 by Melitta Bentz after she invented the paper coffee filter using an aluminum cup and a piece of blotting paper. Since then, the brand has become synonymous with pour-over coffee technology worldwide.

Today, the brand is owned by the Melitta Group, which remains headquartered in Minden, Germany. The company operates globally, with major manufacturing hubs in Germany, Brazil, and North America. In Brazil, Melitta has a significant presence, producing both its famous paper filters and high-quality vacuum-packed coffee locally to serve the South American market.
