What Happened to Coffee in America?

In 1903, Ludwig Reselius had researchers find a way to remove the caffeine from the coffee beans without destroying the flavor. He marketed this coffee under the brand name “Sanka.” Sanka was widely marketed in central and South America, but wasn’t sold in the U.S. until 1923. The drip brewer was yet another kind of coffee brewing machine that evolved in the early part of the nineteenth century along with other kinds of coffee makers and coffee machines.

In 1901, Lugia Bezzer invents the first espresso machine in Italy. Desidero Pavoni bought the patent in 1905 and developed a piston pump to force water through a tube and into the coffee. During this time in America, coffeehouses were becoming immigrant and youth social gathering places in the larger cities. Next week, more changes during the 1920s to coffee and the progression of coffee makers and coffee machines.
