BRINGING THE COFFEE CANADIANS LOVE EVEN CLOSER TO HOME

Melitta Canada Now Proudly Roasted and Packaged In Canada

09/02/2025 

Toronto, Canada. For 65 years, Melitta Canada has been part of Canadians’ morning rituals, bringing expertly crafted coffee to kitchens from coast to coast. Starting this September, the coffee Canadians know and love comes even closer to home. All Melitta Canada coffee products will now be roasted and packaged in Canada. 

This builds on a proud history that began in 1960, when Melitta Canada became the first international subsidiary of Melitta®, the heritage German coffee brand founded in 1908. 

Shoppers will soon notice new packaging on grocery shelves reading "Roasted and Packaged in Canada." Melitta Canada’s coffee products, including four whole bean and three ground blends, will feature the updated packaging.

Moving roasting and packaging operations to Canada reinforces the brand’s commitment to quality, freshness, and a stronger local connection. The four Melitta whole bean blends also remain Rainforest Alliance Certified™, supporting sustainable 

farming practices that benefit farmers, communities, and the environment.

About Melitta Canada

Melitta Canada, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, is part of Melitta North America. As Melitta’s first overseas subsidiary, Melitta Canada operates as a division of the privately held Melitta Group, based in Minden, Germany. For more than 100 years, Melitta has been dedicated to providing the ultimate coffee experience through its premium line of coffee, coffee filters and high-quality coffeemakers, bringing European indulgence to life. 

The company was founded in 1908 by Melitta Bentz, who patented a coffee filtering system that combined a filter and filtration paper. This innovation was the first to successfully remove coffee residue during brewing, revolutionizing the way coffee is prepared.
