What is the history of hand-brewed coffee and hand-made coffee

Born in Dresden in 1873, Bentz Melita, a housewife, likes Sch?lchen Hee?en (Saxony dialect for a cup of coffee eine Tasse Kaffee)-freshly brewed coffee, but she is a perfectionist admirer and hates coffee grounds left between her teeth. One day, on a whim, she punched a hole in the bottom of the copper bowl, took out a piece of blotting paper from her son's schoolbag and put it into hot water, and immediately the mellow coffee dripped into the pot through the blotting paper. In this way, she invented a method of filtering dregs and retaining the aroma of mellow coffee.

Before this invention, people used cloth bags to filter coffee grounds. However, the cloth filter bag is troublesome to clean and unhygienic after being used many times, and the coffee grounds left in the gap in the cloth bag are also easy to destroy the original mellow taste of coffee.

On June 20, 1908, Melita registered her invention with the Royal Patent Office: a copper coffee filter cup with a water outlet at the bottom, the world's first follicular coffee cup. At that time, Melita Benz set up the "Melita Company" in her own home with a small amount of money, and used her autograph Melitta as a registered trademark of the product.

Unfortunately, there are few records of the life history of the Dresden daughter who invented the coffee filter in the local archives in Germany. But this great invention soon became a household name and eventually became a must in German kitchens. In the mid-1920s, orders poured in and the business of making Merita coffee filter cups expanded sharply, but the original family company could no longer accommodate 100000 orders for filters, including ceramic filters, and the company moved to Mingdeng in 1929. Today, Melita is still run by the grandsons of the founder.

Melita now has more than 3200 employees in 50 branches around the world. Melita's hand filter cup has long been improved in the direction of automation, and after countless improvements, Melita has finally achieved great success in the United States. that is, the most popular American coffee automatic filter machine we see now. But if you take apart an American coffee machine, the principle of the bubble invented by Mrs. Melita has barely changed, only to optimize the shape of the filter and filter paper.

Hand-brewed coffee is the core of the third wave of coffee, which uses simple coffee utensils to brew a cup of pure coffee with regional flavor.
