A Brief Insight In The History Of Braun Coffee Maker
The Braun Company launched its first coffee maker in the year 1963. Though the model was meant for commercial use, it certainly brought a new way of looking at coffee brewing which would change the process of coffee making for all time to come.
The Before And After Scene
Before the Braun coffee maker was launched coffee was done in percolators. There were two types of percolators available then – the stove top percolator where you needed to put it on the stove for making a cup of coffee and there was the electric percolator which worked on electricity. The Braun coffee maker was a dripolator which was much different than the percolator.
The system adopted in the Braun coffee maker was something like this – there would be a separate reservoir of water and a separate place to keep the ground beans. These would be put into a filter and in turn the filter would be placed in a basket. When the Braun coffee maker would be turned on the water would be heated to the right temperature it would start dripping onto the ground coffee kept in the filter in the basket. Since the drip would be slow, and it would need some time for crossing the ground coffee to reach in the cup placed below, it would have just the right time to absorb enough coffee flavors to make you the perfect cup of coffee.
The coffee that was made this way was consistently rich in flavor, fast to brew and of excellent taste. The filter was designed to keep the grounded beans from mixing with the coffee and the result was phenomenal.
The Braun coffee maker had indeed changed the way of making coffee forever. The taste of the coffee was so good and the method of making it was so effortless that percolators figured on a very poor second in front of the dripolators. Though it was sometime before the Braun coffee maker was made for the home kitchen counter, the trend was set and there was no looking back ever since.
The first dripolator for home use launched by Mr Coffee in the year 1972 and promoted actively by the then-famous baseball player Joe DiMaggio became famous and very popular during the 80s.
This was the beginning of the coffee makers that you see today in every home; and see how far it has come to making gourmet coffee right off your kitchen counter.
