Melitta
In 1908, a German housewife changed the world of coffee forever. Melitta Bentz was frustrated by the bitter taste caused by coffee grounds in her cup, and experimented with different filtering methods. Her breakthrough came when she used a piece of blotting paper from her son's notebook and perforated it in a copper pot. This became the world's first coffee filter – a simple but ingenious invention that laid the foundation for a coffee empire that has now existed for over a century.
Today, Melitta combines this innovative spirit with modern technology. Their coffee machines are true works of art that can prepare no fewer than 21 different coffee specialities. From the familiar cappuccino and latte macchiato to more adventurous creations such as the Dead Eye – a powerful combination of drip coffee with a double espresso shot – and the Flat White, an Australian speciality with micro-frothed milk. This versatility makes every coffee moment a journey of discovery.
The secret behind Melitta's success lies in the German precision with which every step of the process is carried out. Their coffee beans are carefully selected from the best growing regions in the world and custom-roasted to achieve the optimal aroma profile. Famous blends such as Auslese, BellaCrema and Harmonie Mild are known for their perfect balance between strength and smoothness. Melitta also invests heavily in sustainable cultivation projects, working with coffee farmers to not only guarantee quality, but also to support the environment and local communities.
