Braun Coffee Maker History

In the year 1963, the Braun Company launched its first coffee maker. Though the model was first meant for commercial use, it for certain 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. Then, 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 is turned on the water would be automatically heated to the right temperature and then it would start dripping onto the ground coffee kept in the filter in the basket. It would need some time for crossing the ground coffee to reach in the cup placed below, since the drip would be slow. This slow process 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 not only fast to brew and of excellent taste, but also was consistently rich in flavor. The filter was intended to keep the grounded beans from mixing with the coffee and the result was phenomenal.
The way the making of coffee had indeed been changed forever by the Braun coffee maker. The taste of the coffee was so good and the method of making it was so easy that percolators figured on a very poor second in front of the dripolators. Although it was long before the Braun coffee maker was made for the home kitchen counter, the trend was set and there was no looking back ever since.
Mr Coffee in the year 1972 launched the first dripolator for home use and promoted actively by the then-famous baseball player Joe DiMaggio became famous and very popular during the 80s.
Now you know this was how the life of the coffee makers that you see today in every home was started; and see how far it has come to making gourmet coffee right off your kitchen counter.
