Where family tradition is preserved and enriched by a passion for coffee

It all began in 1908, when Melitta Bentz invented the paper coffee filter brewing method—a groundbreaking innovation that forever transformed the way coffee is prepared and enjoyed. Building on this remarkable legacy, Melitta has continued to preserve its family traditions for more than a century. Throughout this journey, the company has consistently improved the quality of its filter papers while researching and developing proprietary brewing technologies designed to elevate the flavour of every cup of coffee.

With family connection and togetherness at the heart of its values, Melitta remains a family-owned company that is directly operated and managed by members of the family. This enables every tradition to be carefully preserved with dedication and attention to detail, ensuring consistency across generations. We are committed to delivering outstanding product quality while creating the joy of sharing delicious, aromatic coffee with loved ones.

By harmoniously combining the beauty of tradition with a modern outlook, preserving time-honoured values while continuously advancing its technology, Melitta has grown into a globally renowned coffee brand that provides some of today’s most advanced brewing solutions. Every product is developed around the needs of consumers, optimising the user experience across all segments—from households and offices to professional HoReCa environments.
