Coffee lovers of today would laugh at the old-fashioned way of making coffee. 19th century coffee lovers would simply throw a handful of coffee into a saucepan of hot water and boil it until the right aroma wafted past their nostrils.

Water in the top chamber drips through to coffee in the bottom section. This design was varied when the...
