Cons

What buyers say
At 4.7 stars from 387 reviews, satisfaction is high but the sample is smaller than top-selling competitors. This suggests the brewer performs reliably for buyers who choose it, but it hasn't reached the mass-market adoption of Hario or Chemex alternatives in this price tier.
Melitta pour-over brewers typically use cone-style Melitta filters, which are sold in grocery stores and online. Confirm the brewer size (1x2, 1x4, etc.) to match the right filter size.
Is Melitta a good brand for pour-over coffee?
Melitta is one of the oldest names in filter coffee and invented the paper filter in 1908. Their brewers are known for reliability and ease of use rather than specialty features.
Does the Melitta 64008 require a gooseneck kettle?
No. Melitta pour-over brewers are generally more forgiving with pour technique than cone drippers like the Hario V60, making them accessible without a specialized kettle.
