French strainer
A strainer is a special coffee pot with an attached container in which a coffee filter is located. After the coffee has run through, the upper container can be removed and the coffee can be drunk from the lower pot. Such strainers are documented in France as early as 1795. They were made from silver, copper, tin, but also from clay and porcelain. The invention of this device is attributed to the northern French pharmacist and chemist François Antoine Henri Descroizilles , who had it made by a tinsmith in Rouen . The tinsmith is said to have gone to Paris, where his metal Seikanne was recommended by Bishop Jean-Baptiste de Belloy . The jug, which was initially made of pewter , then of silver or porcelain , became known in Paris from 1800 under the name " cafetière du Belloy ". Because of this name used in the 19th century, the invention was also attributed to the bishop himself.
Napoletans
The Napoletaner , a rotating jug, is a variant of the metal strainer jug. A pot for heating the water, a filter and a coffee pot are combined in such a way that you simply turn the device over after heating the water, whereby the hot water runs through the filter into the pot.
Carlsbad jug
The Karlsbader Kanne, also known as the Karlsbader coffee machine, is a special form of the French strainer. It is made of white porcelain and has a bulbous shape. These jugs became so popular that in many places they became the epitome of a strainer jug. Especially in the USA, strainers were known under the name Karlsbader or Bohemian jugs. The name Karlsbader Kanne probably goes back to the Czech spa town of Karlsbad . In Austria, the Karlsbader Kanne was used in Viennese coffee houses before the First World War ; Coffee made with such a pot was called Karlsbader.
Since 2007 the company Walküre has been producing a variant of the Karlsbader jug without a belly under the name “Bayreuth Coffee Machine”.
Melitta coffee filter machines
In the 1930s, Melitta offered strainers under the name of coffee filtering machines . They consisted of a jug with a lid and a filter attachment with a water distributor. The filter held just as much water as the matching jug and therefore only had to be filled once with boiling water. Refilling was not necessary, the filtration was therefore "automatic". In contrast to the Karlsbader jugs, however, the Melitta devices used filter paper.
