Among his lasting achievements we may count the socalled Rumford coffee pot as well (1809). He developed it for increasing the consumption of coffee and decreasing that of alcohol. Rumford stuck to it that coffee should never boil, and the flavour released should not evaporate but should be absorbed by the coffee brought to boiling - exclusively in fresh water. He was aware of the fact that the flavour of coffee was due to volatile oils, and that - therefore - coffee heated for a second time was unfit for drinking. The speciality of the Rumford pot was that the inner vessel was surrounded by hot water. An original copy of the invention is preserved in the collection of Harvard University. An interesting dumper variant of this type that could be taken apart was developed by Morize in Paris, in 1819. The lower part of the filter pot was the boiler, the upper part the coffee pot proper which was fixed with its "head" downwards. The two parts were fixed together with an "ear" holding both. When the water came to the boil, the whole construction was turned upside down, and the hot water flowed onto the milling product placed in the closed filter between the two parts. When turning the device upside down, the hot water flowed, through the coffee in the filter, into the pot. Then the filter that got to the top and the water tank were removed, thus only the ready coffee remained in the pot. A number of variants of the dumper (kipp) pots were shaped from America to Italy. The oviform dumper Potsdamer Biler or Russian egg-pot were particularly popular. This type is being produced even now in a number of forms, from various decorative and fine materials to aluminium. Karlsbad pots The porcelain variant of the filter pots was the so-called Karlsbad pot that became popular in the 19 t h century. Its production started at the Karlsbad manufacture, after the Aranyozott karlsbadi kanna részei, 1 8. sz. vége, F&K gyűjtemény Parts of gilded Karlsbad pot, late I8 , h century, F&K collection 88
