Vacuum Coffee Pots:  Historical Delevopment In this era, the "coffee pot" was a metal vessel used primarily as a means of dispensing the brewed coffee, either via a spout or by one or more spigots jutting from the body of the vessel. This process extinguishes the heater, and when the vacuum pulls the brewed coffee back into the lower chamber, the pot swings back to vertical, simultaneously tripping a small hammer which then strikes a bell to indicate that the coffee is ready. The vacuum pot was gradually supplanted first by the pumping percolator, and later by a descendant of the old French Drip pot: Mr. baharris.org /coffee/History.htm   (2850 words)
