The Brewer Family, Do You Know Them All? (Part 3)

5. Chemex Coffee (invented year 1941 )

Coffee is brewed by first placing the paper filter and the ground coffee in the neck of the flask, while heating water to 180-200°F in a separate vessel; then "blooming" (moistening) the ground coffee, by pouring some hot water onto the dry coffee, and finally, by pouring the desired quantity of water (number of cups) over the ground coffee, and awaiting it to percolate down, through the coffee and the paper filter, into the flask

In popular of the Chemex Coffee maker: ( A little bit of add ons...)

In the 1954 romance movie Sabrina, a Chemex Coffeemaker can be seen in the corner of Linus's bar in his office. In spy literature, film, and television, the Chemex coffeemaker has appeared in the novel From Russia, with Love (1957), by Ian Fleming, who describes James Bond, when in London, brewing his breakfast coffee with a Chemex, using coffee bought from the De Bry's shop in New Oxford Street.[7]

In the detective film Harper (1966), private eye Lew Harper (Paul Newman) uses a Chemex coffeemaker to brew his breakfast coffee. In the comedy Pillow Talk (1959), the interior designer Jan Morrow (Doris Day) prepares coffee with a Chemex coffeemaker. In the horror movie Rosemary's Baby (1968), the housewife character, Rosemary (Mia Farrow), uses a Chemex coffeemaker. In the 1961 Drama “Return to Peyton Place” Mary Astor uses a Chemex to serve coffee to Son (Bret Halsey) and daughter (Luciana Paluzzi)
In the television comedy programme The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970–77), the Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore) character has such a coffeemaker in the kitchen of her apartment. Similarly, a Chemex can be spotted on the stovetop in the pilot of "Friends" (1994)[8]

A Chemex can be seen in Don Draper's kitchen in the AMC show Mad Men (2007–15) [9]
In the film Interstellar (2014), a Chemex can be seen on the dining room table, being used to filter the dust out of drinking water.
A Chemex can be seen on the Netflix comedy series "Grace & Frankie"(2015-).



 6. Aeropress Coffee ( invented year 2005 )

The AeroPress is a device for brewing coffee. It was invented in 2005 by Aerobie president Alan Adler. Coffee is steeped for 10–50 seconds (depending on grind and preferred strength) and then forced through a filter by pressing the plunger through the tube. The filters used are either the AeroPress paper filters or disc shaped thin metal filters. The maker describes the result as an espresso strength concentration of coffee, but its most frequent use is more in the filter brew strength.
The device consists of two nesting cylinders. One cylinder has a flexible airtight seal and fits inside the larger cylinder, similar to a syringe.

3. Cafetiere ( invented year 1929 )

Over the years, the French press has undergone several design modifications. The first coffee press, which may have been made in France, was the modern coffee press in its rudimentary form: a metal or cheesecloth screen fitted to a rod that users would press into a pot of boiling water. The coffee press was patented by Milanese designer Attilio Calimani in 1929. It underwent several design modifications through Faliero Bondanini, who patented his own version in 1958 and began manufacturing it in a French clarinet factory called Martin SA, where its popularity grew.



4. Paper Filter or The Drip Brew ( invented around year 1918 )

Drip brewing, filtered coffee, or pour-over is a method which involves pouring water over roasted, ground coffee beans contained in a filter, creating the beverage called coffee. Water seeps through the ground coffee, absorbing its oils and essences, solely under gravity, then passes through the bottom of the filter. The used coffee grounds are retained in the filter with the liquid falling (dripping) into a collecting vessel such as a carafe or pot.
Paper coffee filters were invented in Germany by Melitta Bentz in 1908[1] and are commonly used for drip brew all over the world.
