About

The Melitta pour-over dripper was invented in 1908 by Melitta Bentz in Germany, making it the original paper-filtered coffee brewer. The cone-shaped design with a single drainage hole produces a slower, more controlled flow than the V60. Melitta's forgiving nature and wide availability make it an excellent entry point for pour-over brewing, delivering a clean, balanced cup with consistent results regardless of pouring technique.
