Melitta gooseneck electric kettle (Germany)

If you buy an item via this post, we may get a small fee.

Here we have the Melitta Gooseneck Kettle from Germany, a solid piece of European engineering. It is made for people who want an honest cup of filter coffee, instead of consuming giant buckets of sugary hot water from American drive-thrus while pretending to be busy.

This tool gives you a precise stream because of its thin, bent neck. There are no useless digital screens or Bluetooth connections to break down after one month. It just heats your water fast and pours it exactly where you want it, which is all a rational person needs.

It was Amalie Auguste Melitta Bentz who started it all in Dresden back in 1908 because she was tired of bitter coffee and grounds in her cup. She punctured a brass pot with a nail and used her sons’ blotting paper, inventing the modern pour-over ritual we use today.

Melitta is also on Amazon. Here is the Melitta Gooseneck Kettle, and here is Melitta Pour-Over Coffee Brewer.

Did you know?

A Swiss man named Daniel Peter put milk in chocolate in 1875. Before this, it was just dark and bitter. Now we have the perfect snack for hiking in the mountains or just sitting on the sofa. Very good for the soul!
