What Happened to Coffee in America?
From the time of the first Turkish Ibrik, coffee makers developed through various kinds of coffee makers. In the early 1800s, the first really new way of preparing coffee occurred. Coffee was now ground in shops or manually operated coffee grinders in the home. Fifty years later, coffee was made in an American-made percolator. The grounds were put in a container above the water and a hollow stem pumped hot water up and over the grounds. Other early coffeemakers at this time were the vacuum glass pots method and espresso machines. All of these became electric models of coffee percolators, various drip coffee makers and espresso machines. Electric commercial coffee brewers and manual espresso machines grew in popularity. Tomorrow, how is coffee made and served today.
