About Melitta It was 1908 when a German housewife, Melitta Bentz, made coffee history. Tired of the bitterness and troublesome grounds in her daily brew, Melitta poked holes in the bottom of a brass cup and lined it with a sheet of her son’s blotting paper. She then filled the cup with ground coffee and poured in hot water, thereby creating the world's first pour-over coffeemaker. The result was rich flavorful coffee without bitterness or mess. Her invention forever changed the way people brew their coffee. Over 100 years later, the Melitta Company remains dedicated to the pursuit of the perfect cup of coffee. Melitta North America Inc., is part of the privately held Melitta Group in Minden, Germany and is headquartered in Clearwater, Florida. For more information, visit www.melitta.com.
