Development of coffee :

The commercial development of coffee started in the 1700’s when a French captain traveled the Atlantic to the Caribbean Island of Martinique. He had 19 million trees grown there within 50 years. Then coffee became a famous drink nationally in the United States. The Italians looked to popularize coffee in 1822 by inventing a coffee machine called the espresso maker in France. Now you can find 200,000 espresso machines in Italy. While in France Dr. Ernest Illy discovered an automatic machine for preparing espresso in 1933. The machines developed nowadays are by Achilles Gaggia, an Italian man from 1946 to now. He expanded it as inventing “a high pressure espresso machine by using a spring powered lever system. The first pump driven espresso machine was produced in 1960 by the Faema company”( Bellis,n.d.).

The development of the coffee machine did not stop at that point but it continued to go through a number inventions. The first coffee filter came from Germany by Melitta Bentz, a housewife. She looked for a way to make a clear coffee without any over brewing which caused bitterness. She found that her son used a blotter paper at school which helped her to achieve her goal cutting it in circle and shaping it in the cup.

As a result, her invention was recorded and patented in 1908 for the coffee filter machine and filter paper. After that Melitta and her husband participated in a fair at Leipziger in Germany where they sold 1200 coffee filters ( Bellis,n.d.).
