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.

What Happened to Coffee in America?

In the 1970s, coffee grinders become novelty items and are now cookie jars that look like vintage coffee grinders and other items. With all the “new” conveniences of freeze-dried and decaffeinated coffee, along with coffee available in vacuum cans or sealed jars, grinders become a thing of the past for many homes.

Italian Luigi Goglio now invents a one-way valve to let coffee de-gas without contact with oxygen in the latest espresso machine. Two years later, the “Mini” slim style Gaggia manual lever espresso machine, designed by André Ricard, was introduced. A short time later Ernesto Illy further simplified the Gaggia coffee machine of 1945 and introduced the coffee espresso system. This system added two layers of filter paper, made it simpler, cheaper and some say idiot proof.

At the same time Mr. Coffee introduces the first automatic drip coffee maker. The Bunn Company followed with its coffee maker innovation and introduced the first commercial quality automatic drip coffee maker, which was also intended as a household coffee maker. Next, those involved with coffee get together.

What Happened to Coffee in America?

There were early inventions for American coffee drinkers in the 1800s. The first coffee perculator patented in America was awarded to James Mason on December 28, 1865. The first stove top percolator came four years later.

 The first coffee grinders for the home were cast-iron coffee mills, which were mainly a box type. These manual coffee grinders had a wood or metal handle and were exported by Kenrick & Sons who produced them in England and exported them to America beginning in 1890. Tomorrow, we’ll look at more inventions that changed the way people prepared and drank coffee.
