coffee pot
Coffee percolators went out of fashion when drip coffee makers became available. Percolators take much longer to brew a pot of coffee and people love the convenience of the drip models.
Making good coffee takes ground coffee, good quality filters, cold water and of course, a coffee pot. For a drip pot, insert the filter in the basket, dump the coffee into the filter depending on how strong you want it to be, pour cold water into the top of the pot and turn it on.
It was invented in 1806 by benjamin thompson
A French press, also known as a coffee press or press pot, is generally used for brewing coffee or tea. It can be used in place of the common drip coffee brewer.
K cup averages about 6 times (varies from 2 to 10 times) more expensive than drip brewed coffee. The medium size cup of Kerug coffee is one cup (8 oz). One cup of k-cup coffee costs about 35 to 70 cents. One cup of drip coffee costs about 7 to 20 cents. Lowest cost drip coffee - My Braun drip coffee maker makes a cup for about 7 cents. That is a 24 oz pot of coffee (4 * 6 oz) using 22g of coffee grounds per pot. My coffee grounds costs $4 per pound (454g) and tastes great. You need to shop around to get good low cost coffee grounds.
A typical drip coffee maker can brew around 8 to 12 cups of coffee at once.
It's difficult to find drip coffee makers with pots over 12 cups or so. Larger pots are heavier, more difficult to pour, and increase the risk of accident. If more coffee at a time is needed, your options are a multi-pot coffee maker or an urn-type coffee maker. Coffee urns come in sizes that brew up to 60 cups of coffee at a time.
Walter B. Purvis invented the drip coffee maker, which revolutionized the process of making coffee at home by allowing for a more efficient and convenient brewing method. His invention led to the widespread popularity of drip coffee makers in households and coffee shops around the world.
They all very in size and shape. But typically, # You'd place coffee grounds in the basket, # The basket in or on top of carafe or pot (depending on your style) # Pour hot to boiling water over grounds # Wait till water completely drips through basket # Coffee in Pot is ready to use. As another tidbit, metal or aluminum drip-o-lators were designed to sit on stove or campfires to keep coffee warm. Wouldn't try it with Porcelain carafes or any other materials though.
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.
Hard to say who invented it, but supposedly this was the first webcam: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/coffee/coffee.html It was used to check a coffee pot in the Trojan Room at the University of Cambridge.
