There are many wavs of mak ing coffee, one by the vacuum method. Probably few, however, realize that this method was invented in 1840 by a Scotsman, Kooerl Napier, a marine engi neer. The following article relates the history of coffee making and the invention of the vacuum pot. Since l:X) A.D., men have been trying lo find the best way to brew a cup of coffee. Over the centuries, inventors, gourmets, perfectionists and purists in every part of the world have concentrated on pro ducing the perfect cup. They nave boiled, steeped, dripped, filtered, syphoned, steamed and perked the mysterious brew. Judging from the number of coffee-pots patented yearly, it appears tney still are not sat isfied. There is one group of coffee drinkers, however, who seem lo be quite content with the brew ing process they now employ. These are the devotees of the vacuum pot, a small, but vocal minority always ready to extol its coffee above all others and to enumerate the advantages of a brew made by the vacuum method. Surely, Spinoza would never have said, "Nature ab hors a vacuum," had he known an ecstatic owner of the vacuum pot. Considering that the vac uum pot has attracted a coterie of enthusiasts for more than a century, it may well be that the familiar double bowl does indeed contain some magical secrets of coffee making. hvolution of the Vacuum Pol For four hundred years, from 1300 to 1700, the accepted way to brew coffee was by boiling it. Naturally, everyone had dif ferent ideas on how to boil it, but none - the - less the results were inevitably the same, a bit ter beverage that, today, we wouldn't dream of trying. Then, in 1702, came the Franch novel ty of steeping coffee. French men, always receptive to new culinary ideas, gradually adopt ed the new method, and in 50 years they had abandoned boil ed coffee altogether. I The next step in coffec-mak- inR history came in 1800 when a resourceful gentleman named DcBelloy invented the rrench drip pot (or percolator, as it was then called). His method so inspired other inventors that an avalanche of patents for "improved" drip pots, inelud ing the modern pumping per colator, were issued in England, France. Germanv and the unit ed States. The public, caught up in the excitement of the Indus trial Revolution, was eager to see any innovation, especially one that could be plcasurably used in the home. Coffee - pot inventors were having a field day. Just when it seemed that the drip process wns far-and-away the most sophisticated form of brewing, another kind of coffee pot appeared on the scene, Ihc vacuum coffee-maker. Although the majority of coffee-lovers de fended their French drip pots or pumping percolators, the vacuum pot won many loyal friends, a trend which has con tinued to this day. Engineer Sets To Work In 1840, a Scottish marine engineer by the name of Robert Napier turned his attention from ships to coffee-pots and invented an elaborate vacuum machine. His device was never patented, but 80 years later it was being manufactured in Glasgow in the works of Thomas Smith and Sons under the direction of Mr. Napier himself. Modern 211 W. Main The device, a handsome piece of craftsmanship that would look at home in a dining room or a chemical laboratory, con sisted of a silver globe, a mix ing container, a svphon and a strainer. Briefly, this is how it worked: A small amount of wa ter was put in the globe and heated by a gas burner. In the meantime, boiling water was added to dry coffee in the mix ing container. The steam pres sure created in the globe forced steam through the tube into the coffee mixture, causing the mix ture to become temporarily agi tated. Then the flame under the globe was lowered, the steam condensed and a vacuum was formed. As if by magic, the vacuum pulled clear coffee back through the filtered tube into the globe, and the coffee was ready to serve. The vacuum makers that fol lowed differed in operation, but not in principle, from the Na perian method. In most of these, all of the water was placed in the reservoir over the burner and the ground coffee was plac ed in the other receptacle. When the water was heated, steam pressure forced it through the filtered tube to mix freely with the coffee. Then, with the heat lowered, a vacuum formed in the reservoir and pulled the brewed coffee into il. Improvements and refine ments of the Napcrian method continued steadily over t h e years until the modern double globe vacuum pot emerged. While the new maker employed the vacuum principle, it was actually patterned after I h e French double-glass "balloon a kind of percolator that had been designed many years earli er. By the early twentieth cen tury, the new vacuum pot was all the rage in the United Stales. Americans loved to watch the whole process, the water rising into the upper bowl, bubbling furiously, and then, after a few quiet moments, returning as brewed coffee to the lower globe. The vacuum pot has in many ways overcome some of the early hazards of colfee brewing. Perhaps the most obvious ad vantage of the vacuum pot is that it permits all of the water to come In contact with all of the coffee fairly rapidly and then allows immediate separation ot the brew and grounds. Ot course, many other brewing processes offer advantages, too but to vacuum-pot users, none of the other coffee-makers pro duce such happy results, iney are convinced, and who is say them nay. Son, Daughter Arrive Here John Frohnmayer, a senior at Stanford University, has arrived at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Otto J. Frohnmayer, 1056 Spring Street, and his sis ter, Miss Mlra Frohnmnypr, a teacher at Pine Manor Junior College, Wellesley Hills, Mass., arrived home Monday. Another son, David Frohn- mnycr, and a student at uxiora University, England, Is spending the Christmas holidays near Hamburg, Germany with the Rohwcddcr family. As an Amer ican Field Service student, he lived with Ihc Rohwedders for a time. En route to Germany the student spent some time with the deHeers family, living near The Hague. Bart dcBeers, a son, is also an American Field Service student and is spending a year here with the Frohn maycrs. Cleaners 772-4590 r a I The contraption pictured above Is one of the original vacuum type coffee makers. Probably few realize that this method was invented in 1810 by a Scotsman, Robert Napier, a marine en ginccr, who turned his attention from ships lo coffee-pots and built this elaborate machine. The accompanying article relates the history of coffee making anil principle of Mr. Napier's in vention. This is the time of the year when the words "Peace on earth" and "good will to men" are heard on all sides. But how to achieve these long sought after goals seems well-nigh impossible. Nations are filled wilh fears and tensions, these are reflected in our daily living and thoughtful parents wonder how to achieve har mony in the home. We would like lo repeat here the words of an old Chinese proverb. The proverb is printed often, and was stressed in this paper only last Sunday. 11 was offered by Patricia McCormack of United Press International in an article pointing up the efforts of the National Conference of Christians and Jews to start an "epi demic of good will" immunizing young and old against the hate, mistrust, greed and me-firstisms that sabotage elforls to advance peace and good will. The proverb reads; "If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. :;If there is beauty In the character, there will be harmony in the home. "If there is harmony in the home, there will bo order in the nation. "If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world." We hope that mankind never peace and good will. Have a safe May all the good thoughts you have spared to others return a thousandfold lo you; may all the good deeds you have done be given bark to you a thousand limes over again. And a Merry Christmas to you and yours! from all Fine gives up the effort to achieve and happy Christmas. O.S. of us at- Dairy Products Hi viiH-.r pi' ft mm - '3 1 t j.'.V " !V'
