Coffee Maker

The subtle sound of a new brew beckons you with its beautiful aroma, steaming out through the air straight into your anxiously awaiting sense of smell. Just a drop of that dark liquid perks you up and sends your spirits into the fresh air of a new day. The first modern method for making coffee is more than 125 years old, and its design had changed little. Around 1800, a French inventor developed the "pumping percolator", in which boiling water in a bottom chamber forces itself up a tube and then trickles (percolates) through the ground coffee back into the bottom chamber. In later years, coffeemakers began to adopt more standardized forms required to meet postwar consumer demand. Plastics and composite materials began to replace metal, particularly with the advent of newer electric drip coffeemakers in the 1970s.
