Melitta is a legendary German brand that revolutionized coffee drinking at the turn of the 20th century. The company was founded in Dresden in 1908 by Melitta Bentz, who famously used a piece of her son's blotting paper and a brass pot to create the world's first coffee filter, looking for a way to remove the bitterness and grounds from her coffee. This invention led to the foundation of the Melitta Group, which remains a family-owned enterprise today.
The Melitta Filtertüten Original shown in the image are the modern evolution of that first invention. While the brand has global reach, its primary manufacturing facilities for paper products are located in Minden, Germany. The company has expanded its portfolio over the decades to include coffee machines, roasted coffee, and various household supplies, maintaining its status as a market leader in coffee preparation technology and sustainability.
