About
Mr. Coffee is an iconic American drip coffee maker brand best known for bringing automatic drip coffee machines to American households in 1972 — before Mr. Coffee, most home coffee was made with percolators or instant coffee. Founded by Ernie Melitta and Vincent Marotta in Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Coffee was acquired by Sunbeam Products (now Newell Brands) and has remained one of the most recognized names in home coffee brewing, though the brand faces intensifying competition from single-serve machines and premium coffee devices.
