Designed for perfect taste.

Give your coffee time to let its full aroma unfold – 10 to 20 seconds to be precise. Close the filter holder outlets. This enables the coffee bed to be optimally dampened and perfect for the extraction process to follow. Pour a little water on the freshly ground coffee, only enough to dampen the entire portion of coffee. Now the blooming begins. And you can see it. Gases caused by roasting escape, which you can see in the generation of bubbles on the surface of the coffee. This improves the coffee extraction, and the essence of the taste can be perfectly developed. The result is a full aroma. So, you should treat yourself and your coffee to these extra few seconds.

Once the blooming process is over, turn the knob to open the filter holder outlets. Pour the water slowly and in a circular motion evenly over the ground coffee. At a speed which keeps the level of water in the filter only just above the coffee bed at all time. As a rule of thumb: the pouring speed is the same as the draining speed. The filter ribs and the two outlets provide the ideal flow. The result: an even extraction.

The minimalistic design is not left to chance. From the form of the filter holder to the filter ribs to the jug made of borosilicate glass – everything about the Melitta® AMANO coffee maker has a purpose. The mount of the filter ring, which looks like it is floating on air, on the elegantly curved metal side posts, all of which harmonise with the form of the glass jug, ultimately provide a fluid appearance and make the Melitta® AMANO coffee maker an aesthetic masterpiece. Besides, Melitta® AMANO received the Red Dot Award 2020 for its innovative design.

Thanks to the drip stop, you can remove the jug without a mark. And because the drip stop is inside the removable filter holder, you can easily dispose of the used filter paper without leaving behind coffee drips on the way to the rubbish bin. The filter and jug are dishwasher-safe, so you have time for other of life's pleasures too.
