series about female pioneers. the first coffee filters to use paper was invented by men. and patented in one thousand noway. coffee filter was a life changer for coffee drinkers and a global success story. at the time ben's was a thirty five year old housewife in dresden but she went on to start a company she and her husband began producing the first filters at home soon demand was so great that they needed more space so they set up a factory and hired employees. his grandson thomas spends tells the story of how she came up with the idea. back then the saxons were drinking lots of coffee and it

was traditionally brewed by boiling water in a pot and pouring in ground coffee as a result of course you had coffee grounds left in your cupboard all those confused when i was with my grandmother didn't like that. so one day she had the idea of integrating some blotting paper in a pot to create a filter system unfair to. the brass pot was soon replaced by an aluminum then a porcelain my. the original round filter with round paper became a cone shaped bag and a cone shaped filter the shape remains unchanged today. it was originally advertised as being more practical unhygenic in the kitchen although we no longer think of filters as being that. those were probably the two main points that were attractive to housewives back then. through the holes for.
