How to make coffee in Melitta?

At the beginning of the 20th century, Melitta Bentz devised a method of preparing coffee using a paper filter. Over time, the company founded by her and her husband managed to perfect the method. Today we know Melitta filters and their colorful plastic filter holders, which are one of the cheapest and easiest options to extract a special coffee drink.

The Melitta filter holder has a conical shape with an elongated bottom and a single hole. In addition, on its walls, this filter holder has some veins that help the passage of air and coffee. It should not be confused with the Kalitta method, which is very similar, but instead of one hole it has three.

This brewing method is very easy to clean and we recommend it for those who want to quickly brew a cup or two. For example, it is very practical to use in the office with the help of the hot water dispenser. Here's how to make the best preparation with it.
