It surprised me to learn that automatic drip coffee makers were invented only about 50 years ago.
- jacquesm 5y agoThe predecessor (the percolator) was invented 150 years earlier and still has a dedicated following today, and then there is the cafetiere. Both of these do not have any waste other than the coffee grounds, which I think is a big point in their favor. Oh, and no DRM either, nor any subscription components. I guess for the manufacturers that is now a point against them.
