Melitta Coffee Maker - Innovators In Coffee Makers
 
The history behind today’s Melitta coffee maker goes back to the beginning of 19th century.
In 1908, a German housewife, Melitta Bentz, hit upon a way to keep the coffee grounds out of the coffee. She became an inventor by puncturing a brass pot and then lining the pot with some blotting paper. At that point, the modern drip Melitta coffee maker was born. The Melitta Company was established in 1908 after she registered her invention with the Patent Office in Berlin, Germany. The device was called, "Filter Top Device lined with Filter Paper." By the 1930’s, the shape of the filter had changed into a cone-shape. Ridges were placed in the cone-shaped filter to allow the coffee more room to brew, and the cone-shaped paper filter was patented. The Melitta Company has led the way in innovation since that time as well. Paper filters have been reworked so that there are natural brown coffee filters which use unbleached pulp and white coffee filters that that have been bleached using an oxygen-cleansing method instead of chlorine. One of the newest advances in paper filters was developed in 1997. These coffee filters with Flavor Pores are made with micro fine pores, allowing more of the aroma and the coffee taste to stay in the coffee brew while still filtering out the grounds and sediment from the coffee.
