In 1881, the Morgan Brothers, Edgar H. and Charles, began the
manufacture of household coffee mills, the business being acquired in
1885 by the Arcade Manufacturing Co., of Freeport, Ill. The latter
concern brought out the first pound coffee mill in 1889. Its mills
became very popular in the United States. In 1900, Charles Morgan was
granted a United States patent on a glass-jar coffee mill, with
removable glass measuring cup.

In 1881, Harvey Ricker, of Brooklyn, later of Minneapolis, introduced to
the trade in the United States a "minute coffee pot" and urn known as
the Boss, the name being subsequently changed to Minute. He improved and
patented the device in 1901 as the Half-Minute coffee pot. It is a
filtration device employing a cotton sack with a thickened bottom.

In 1882, Chris Abele, of New York, patented an improvement on the
old-style Burns roaster, with openings cut in the front plate. It was
known as the Knickerbocker. As already noted, the machine was a
competitor of the Hungerford machine patented the same year.

In 1882, a German patent was granted to Emil Newstadt, of Berlin, on one
of the earliest coffee-extract machines.

In 1883, Jabez Burns was granted a United States patent on his improved
sample-coffee roaster.

In 1884, the Star coffee pot, later known as the Marion Harland, was
introduced to the trade. It employed a wire-gauze drip device, called a
"filter," which was fitted to a metal pot. It was extensively advertised
and attained considerable popularity. The same year, Finley Acker, of
Philadelphia, brought out an improved coffee pot for family trade.
Later, he produced his Mo-Kof-Fee pot and an individual porcelain drip
pot for testing-table use.

In 1885, F.A. Cauchois, New York, brought out an improved
porcelain-lined urn.

In 1887-88, the Etruscan coffee pot was invented and put on the market
by the Etruscan Coffee Pot Co., of Philadelphia. It employed a muslin
cylinder with metal ends and a mechanism for combining "agitation,
distillation and infusion." It was not unlike the Dakin device of 1848,
previously mentioned.

In 1890, A. Mottant, Bar-le-Duc, France, began to manufacture a line of
coffee-roasting machinery which included vertical ball-and-cylinder
machines, using wood, coal, coke, or gas for fuel. His best known makes
are Magic and Sirocco (see page 642).
