Melitta's Paper Pledge...

We donate two trees for every one we use. Melitta will donate, via the Canadian Forestry Association, two trees for every one we use in our production of filter paper to conserve this important resource for future generations.

Filters & Brewing

Melitta's filters are made exclusively from southern pine pulp in order to maximize the absorbency of bitter oils and acids resulting in a less bitter, richer, smoother cup of coffee, unlike permanent gold filters. Melitta paper filters produce a healthier cup of coffee. Only paper filters remove fatty oils which can increase cholesterol levels. Metal filters will not eliminate the risk of increasing cholesterol levels. Melitta basket and cone filters are available in classic white or natural brown.

Melitta Cone Filter Paper are the only filters that have patented flavor enhancing micro-perforations that provide the perfect extraction for a richer more flavorful coffee. All Melitta cone filters are also double crimped so they are guaranteed never to burst.
