It made it easier to make coffee. Before the percolator was invented by Ben Thompson in the late 18th century people had to boil water, add the grounds or the beans and brew. I remember reading about the civil war soldiers who carried around the coffee beans in their pockets and would throw them into a pot of water to boil coffee.
