he first Vienna coffee maker seems to have
been patented in Germany in 1879.

The Emmerich Machine Factory and Iron Foundry acquired certain Danish
and Austrian coffee-roaster patents in 1881, and in 1892 it was granted
a German patent on a ball roaster. In the eighties this concern began
the manufacture of a closed ball, or globular, roaster with gas-heater
attachment. It acquired, in 1889, the rights for Germany to manufacture
gas roasters under the Dutch Henneman patents of 1888. In 1892, Theodore
von Gimborn was granted French and English patents on a coffee roaster
employing a naked gas flame in a rotary cylinder. In 1897, the
Emmericher concern was granted a German patent on an automatic circular
tipping cooler with power drive. Today, this factory features the Probat
and Perfekt roasters, but manufactures a general line of cylinder and
ball machines for coal, coke, and gas.

Among others engaged in the manufacture of coffee machines in Germany
are G. W. Barth, Ludwigsburg, and Ferd. Gothot, Mulheim on Rhur. The
latter manufactures a coke or gas heated quick-roaster known as the
Ideal-Rapid, and a smaller hand-power machine, of the same type, called
Favour.

In 1869, Elie Moneuse and L. Duparquet, of New York, were granted three
United States patents on a coffee pot or urn made of sheet copper and
lined with pure sheet block tin. These patents were the foundation of
the successful coffee-urn business afterward built up under the name of
the Duparquet, Huot & Moneuse Co.

Thomas Smith & Son (Elkington & Co., Ltd., successors) began, in 1870,
the manufacture of the Napierian coffee-making machine at Glasgow,
Scotland. This was a device for making coffee by distillation, employing
a metal globe syphon and brewer with filter cloth. The principle was
subsequently used in the Napier-List steam coffee machine for ships and
institutions, patented in England in 1891.

John Gulick Baker, of Philadelphia, one of the founders of the
Enterprise Manufacturing Co. of Pennsylvania, was granted a United
States patent in 1870, on a coffee grinder introduced to the trade as
the Enterprise Champion No. 1 store mill. Another Baker patent was
granted in 1873, and this became known as the Enterprise Champion Globe
No. 0. These mills were the pioneer machines for store use.
