In Canada at least, Melitta coffee filters are manufactured in the US.
Technivorm are made in The Netherlands.
Technivorm it is!
I say get a french press, or reusable filters. If you brew your coffee some other way I would love to hear about reusable options.
I make espresso, no filters.
I’ve been drinking coffee for 40+ years. Growing up, we had drip machines and I tried all of the reusable filter I could - metal, cotton, silk, you name it. My first choice used to be a french press, but we’ve moved back to a drip machine (Technivorm Moccamaster).
The reusable filters…mostly suck. Metal and silk leave sludge tgat mutes the flavour. Cotton clogs up and is a PITA to clean.
Paper filters are convenient, give the best flavour, and are compostable. For three or four pots a week, I don’t feel bad about using them.
