Melitta Launches New Line of Pour-Over Specific Coffee Filters

Melitta has announced the release of Melitta Pour-Over Coffee Filters. The new line of paper coffee filters is specifically designed to optimize coffee extraction when brewing coffee through pour-over coffee makers.

Melitta Pour-Over Coffee Filters are designed with the optimal absorbency, texture, strength and filtering properties for pour-over brewing. The filter’s micro-fine perforations allow the full coffee flavor to filter through at the perfect rate, while preventing unwanted sediments. The result is a rich, flavorful cup that brings out the best characteristics of the coffee.

“This company was founded on the pursuit of better coffee and our new pour-over filters are the latest breakthrough in our constant search for a better cup,” said Chris Hillman, Vice President of Marketing, Melitta North America. “With the continued rise in popularity of pour-over brewing in the home, it’s an important addition to our best-selling line of filters and we’re excited for consumers to taste the difference.”

Since its invention in 1908 by Melitta Bentz, pour-over brewing has been synonymous with hand-crafted coffee. The method combines optimal water temperature with the agitation resulting from its cone-shaped design. Pour-over brewing enables coffee lovers to quickly and easily hand-craft delicious coffee in the home.

“Pour-over brewing has long been seen as a superior method of extracting the full characteristics of coffee,” said Dan Pabst, Product Development Manager, Melitta North America. “These filters take that another step forward, improving on the saturation and extraction to further enhance the flavor profile of the final product.”

The new filters feature a double crimp design to protect against bursting, helping consumers avoid sediment in their coffee and messy kitchen mishaps. They are also 100 percent compostable and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization, which aims to contribute to the improvement of forestry worldwide.

Melitta Pour-Over Coffee Filters will be available at retailers nationwide and online. To view Melitta’s full line of Pour-Over™ coffeemakers, coffee and paper filters, and small-batch roasted coffees, visit www.melitta.com.
