Thanks for your thanks Alexander. It is frenetically busy here too!

Exactly. They make a range of coffee machines, so either leave it as Melitta (spelt like this, it has two Ts) or put Melitta coffee-maker.

Melitta? That would be the only kitchen item I can think of, the Melitta coffee maker.

In fact, when I was an au pair in Milan, I looked after a little girl called Melita whose father was an important young Rabbi. I was told but never checked it that the name was Hebrew for honey. It could be Arabic since the parents were Egyptian and Lebanese Orthodox Jews and really great to me - they tolerated my drinking milk at table when there was meat being served. At first I was quite lost not knowing anything about kosher and thought it was something I'd never learnt about Italy - I am half Italian.

Oh, here in France the Melita brand, usually coffee filters, is spelt with one "t". Maybe it means coffee and not honey.

In the asker box? Is that the new answer box or do people make up their own rules?
agree casinitaly : We have Melitta filters purchased in Canada and in Austria - both packages have the double t.
