To understand coffee culture, you need to know the development history of its brewing tools (Part 1)

Coffee has a history of thousands of years, and coffee brewing has also undergone hundreds of years of development since the 11th century AD. Especially in modern times, coffee brewing methods and tools have emerged in an endless stream. The author will make a simple review of the 9 most mainstream brewing methods and tools according to the time of their creation in two issues, so that everyone can have a more intuitive understanding of coffee brewing tools.

1. TURKISH was invented in Türkiye in 1640

Turkish coffee has the longest history. It is made by grinding roasted coffee beans into fine powder, then putting them into a Cezve coffee pot, adding water and sugar to cook. The resulting coffee is strong, rough and has ground coffee. The brewing method of Turkish coffee is also popular in neighboring Middle Eastern countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and Southeast European countries such as Greece, Serbia, and Bosnia.

2. Siphon (also known as Syphon) was invented in Germany in 1830

In 1830, German Loeff invented the Syphon coffee pot. In the 1840s, Frenchman Vassieux improved it and invented the up-and-down convection Syphon pot. Later, Denmark and Japan continued to improve it, resulting in the Syphon pot we see most often today. The brewing process of the Syphon pot has excellent visual effects and a unique flavor.

3. Espresso was invented in Italy in 1884

The principle of espresso is to use high pressure hot water to penetrate through the compacted coffee powder, thereby extracting concentrated coffee liquid with high caffeine content. In 1884, German Angelo Moriondo invented the Espresso Italian coffee machine. The Espresso Italian coffee machine is the most mainstream coffee brewing equipment today, both in commercial and home use. The concentrated coffee liquid made by the Espresso Italian coffee machine can be mixed with other foods to make most mainstream coffee drinks.

4. Drip was invented in Germany in 1908

The essence of drip coffee equipment - coffee filter paper was invented by German Melitta Bentz in 1908 and is widely used in various types of drip coffee tools. The increasingly popular hand-poured boutique coffee set V60 filter cup evolved from this, as well as other coffee brewing tools that use filter paper or filter mesh, such as ice drip coffee, electric automatic filter coffee machine, etc., are all drip coffee tools.
