The initial patent dates from the 1830s in Berlin, but the first commercially available siphon pot was designed by Marie Fanny Amelne Massot, and it hit the market in the 1840s. By 1910, the pot made its way to America and was patented by two Massachusetts sisters, Bridges and Sutton. Their pyrex brewer was known as the “Silex.”<br> * Moka pot (<a href="https://ineedcoffee.com/the-story-of-the-bialetti-moka-express/)" rel="noopener">https://ineedcoffee.com/the-story-of-the-bialetti-moka-express/)</a>": aluminum- the wonder metal (Facist drive to make it the national metal of Italy) stove-top brews coffee by passing boiling water pressurized by steam through ground coffee.

Once added, the coffee grounds rose to the surface of the boiling pot. He wanted to save the only portion of coffee he had with him and bought a piece of metal screen from a passing-by Italian merchant. Fitting the screen over the boiling pot, he used a stick to press the screen down, together with the coffee grounds. And how was the coffee? He expected it to be terrible, but the result turned out to be the best coffee both men had ever tasted. An accident led to a discovery of a new way of brewing coffee. <br> * The first documented origins of the “most underrated method of brewing coffee”, as James Hoffmann called it in his book ‘The World Atlas of Coffee’,...
