I grew up in Germany in the 70s, and like the previous reviewer, this is where I first encountered the Melitta manual drip coffee system. I have used Melitta manual drip coffee makers my entire adult life. They are simply the best! The thing I've never liked about automatic coffee makers is that they are impossible to truly clean. There's too many inaccessible areas where coffee oils, mold and mildew can form. With the Melitta you can put the entire system in the dishwasher, so there's never anything except fresh water touching your coffee!

I finally went to this method of making coffee after many different versions of coffee makers: Mr. Coffee, Buhn, Pods, Keurig, and out-of-manufacturing versions. All had great qualities but ended up having fatal flaws such as breaking, spitting steam, overflowing grounds basket, or mineral build up.
I went to a coffee press but I didn't like all the mess of the grounds.
Then the light went on about when I had lived in Germany. My mother-in-law had a simple coffee maker by Melitta using Number 4 cone Melitta filters.
I found this simple version in my local grocery store using #2 cone filters. I love it. I especially love the improvement of this one over my mother-in-law's old version in that you can see the coffee level in the mug under the filter holder.
I highly recommend all the manual, simple drip Melitta coffee makers I own. I own the black #2 cone filter holder (single serve) on a black mug, the red #2 cone filter holder (single serve) on a red mug, and the Melitta CoffeeMaker CM-10/6 which uses a #6 cone filter.
