Filters add a flavor dimension in coffee aisle

Melitta USA, Clearwater, FL, has designed what it describes as an improved coffee filter, and packaging communicates the value of its product innovation.

Micro perforations in Melitta Super Premium Coffee Filters provide richer coffee flavor by filtering out sediments and impurities, the company says. The filtering process enables more efficient coffee extraction and a fuller taste. “Consumers are passionate about the taste of their coffee and are willing to spend more money on premium coffee and spring water,” says Patty Poole, product manager at Melitta USA. “But if they’re not using premium coffee filters, they are not getting the best flavor the coffee has to offer.”
