CoffeeResearch.org Coffee FAQ Coffee - Seeds of Trade Transfer and spread From Ethiopia coffee beans spread to Arabia, where the use of coffee as a drink was known certainly in the 15th century. The beans were used in Aden (Yemen) in the early 16th century and from there spread throughout the Islamic world, arriving in Cairo about 1510 and Constantinople before 1567. Coffee drinking was established throughout Turkey's dominions by 1600 and by 1643 had reached Paris; within 50 years there were 250 coffee houses in Greater Paris. Nicolaas Witsen (1641-1717), burgomaster of Amsterdam, urged the Dutch East India Company to grow coffee in Java. Seedlings from Louis XIV's plant did not thrive, but one tree survived to be planted in Martinique about 1720. Coffee was introduced into India and Ceylon towards the end of the 17th century. The variety Bourbon occurred spontaneously in Ethiopia and it is thought that the French took a plant to Bourbon (now Réunion) in 1718, and seedlings from this variety were taken to the New World and elsewhere.
Barista Magazine Home Page The Collection The Vacuum Brewer FAQ A wide range of filtering devices have (and are) used with vacuum brewers. Muslin, oil cloth, and even old socks and silk were used in the past. Today, we have the benefits of technology to aid us, but still some of the best filters are the old methods. Different types in use today include: Cloth (with ceramic and/or metal shaper and spring): usually a double piece of cloth material - one piece has a coarse, heavy thread makeup, the other piece has more of a felt, fine threading. Metal Mesh: Mostly the Sunbeam CoffeeMasters, models C30B and above used a fine mesh filter. Metal (non mesh): Some believe this is the best filter ever created - the Nicro metal filter. Paper (with plastic and/or metal shaper): The Hario Nouveau vacuum brewer (and other brewers) uses a plastic/paper combination that is effective and fairly efficient. Glass: Cory made their reputation partially on their "Cory Glass Rod" which ironically was originally created for tea brewing, not coffee.
