Melitta coffees are made with only the highest quality 100% Arabica beans from Central and South America. Melitta uses only high altitude beans that meet stringent European prep standards. These beans are roasted and ground extra fine to ensure a rich, smooth taste with no bitterness. Once roasted, these beans are immediately vacuum packed in heavy 3-ply film to preserve their freshness and maximize shelf life. Our quality control department thoroughly tests each production run, from bean to cup, to ensure that our high standards are met time after time. The result is an exceptional and satisfying full flavor cup of coffee.
