Only the finest quality beans

Melitta premium coffees are made using the traditional time-honored roasting method of fire roasting small batches of the best beans, using direct contact in steel drums with state-of-the-art controls. Slow roasting ensures the finest flavor the coffee beans can deliver. Our premium beans are then ground extra fine in true European fashion. This distinctive fine grind allows the optimum extraction of the coffee flavor, providing a rich, full-bodied cup that is always smooth and never bitter. From the signature Classic blend to the rich and indulgent flavored coffees, Melitta’s unique quality is evident in every sip.
