The return of mindfulness.
1908 ‒ The brilliant idea.
In 1908, a simple yet ingenious idea revolutionised the pleasure of coffee. Because Melitta Bentz didnʼt like the bitter taste of her coffee, she punched holes in a brass pot, added a sheet of blotting paper from her sonʼs school notebook and let the coffee drip through it. The worldʼs first coffee filter was born ‒ and a solution to a problem was turned into a new business. Today, one would call it a start-up.
An idea catches on.
The triumph of hand-filtered coffee worldwide was thanks to a porcelain filter device and the matching paper filters. When electric coffee machines took over the market in the 1970s, more and more people turned to the efficient and time-saving technology for the fine art of coffee brewing.
Today ‒ the journey continues.
It began with baristas in New York, who rediscovered Pour Over coffee making ‒ taking a stance against the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The mindful pouring of water, the ritual of the process, the slowing down ‒ for you, a way to gain time. A movement which has spread throughout the world. New momentum for Pour Over.
