Ah, that explains it. Not only might we not have this in The Netherlands, I
also don't drink coffee... Thank you for enriching my cultural wisdom
though. :-)

Melitta filters?  Like a Mr Coffee without the plastic overwrap--You put
the plastic filter holder on top of the coffee cup, place paper or
gold-mesh filter in the v-shaped filter holder, loaded with coffee.  Pour
bubbly hot water into the holder, and that water seeps through the coffee,
seeps through the porous filter, and settles into a glistening coffee pool
at the bottom of the cup. Quite beautiful, really--especially in the right
quiet and light.  It also involves the consumer in the process, like hand
rolled cigarettes, thereby ritualizing the event and making it sublime.
