Cup from Melitta, Germany, 1950s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Porcelain filter - a drip made by Melitta designed by Melitta Bentz, who patented porcelain drippers. It is used for coffee brewing by overflow method. Just put the paper filter into it, pour the ground coffee, place the dripper on a jug or mug and pour the coffee over with hot water. The idea was born in a kitchen in 1908 in Dresden. The housewife Melitta Benz, who wanted to speed up the preparation of her morning coffee, punctured the bottom of a tin can and laid a blotting paper from her son's school notebook on it. Soon afterwards, she applied for this invention to the patent office. Melitt's filters are known all over the world.

Preserved in its original condition, without damage.
