It was really fun!

Are you lover?
Coffee is considered by many to be the essential fuel for a good and productive day. It can energize you, warm you up, refresh you, keep you awake, and even catch you up with your loved ones.
Ever wonder who invented the coffee maker? The history of coffee goes back a long way. Let’s have a look back through this timeline to learn more.

In 1865-James Nason received the first US for the unique coffee percolator.
In 1884-The world’s first coffee machine was invented and patented by Angelo Moriondo.
In 1908-Melitta Bentz registered her new coffee maker using blotting paper-based filters with the patent office.
In 1927-The first series of large-scale WMF coffee machines were manufactured.
In 1929-The French press was invented by Milanese designer Attilio Calimani.
In 1933-The moka pot was invented by Italian engineer Alfonso and became one of the staples of Italian culture.
In 1954-The first electrical drip coffee maker called the Wigomat was invented in Germany by Gottlob Widmann.
In 1961-The first pump driven espresso machine was released by Faema, which used a motor driven pump instead of physical force to produce the pressure for the espresso.
In 1972-The electric drip coffee maker was popularised across America by the brand Mr. Coffee and it was made available for home use.

Due to the technology moves faster over the last couple of decades, the way of making coffee has changed and espresso machines are now more sophisticated than ever. But it still smells the same!

Happy international coffee day and drink an extra cup today!

are not a new trend!

Bluejeans which are an essential, timeless, and always contemporary wardrobe staple for many of us. They are worn by men, women and children of all ages and backgrounds. This is not a new trend, as jeans date back to the 1800s. The main raw material is denim fabric.

When a Bavarian immigrant named Levi Strauss brought denim to America in 1853 – he sold blue denim work pants to local workers who needed strong clothes that could withstand rough working conditions.

Jeans were durable but easily ripped at pockets of the pants. Jacob Davis, a tailor, was one of Levi Strauss’ regular customers. In 1872, he wrote a letter to Strauss about his method of making work pants with metal rivets on the stress points – at the corners of the pockets and the base of the button fly – to make them stronger.

He wanted to patent his idea, but he didn’t ‘t have the money to file the papers. Because of that, he suggested that Strauss provides the funds and that they get the patent together. He liked the and on May 20, 1873, the two men received patent.

They chose sturdy fabric for their pants, and they became popular.

They can add a blip of color and a dash of personality to even the most boring email. They are a fun and an increasingly ubiquitous way for people to express themselves. What about intellectual property (IP)? Wipo published an article which clarify how United States IP law protects emojis, and why such protection may be problematic.

How many of us love to do laundry?
It is one of the most boring and time-consuming tasks in our daily lives. And it never stops!

At the beginning of the 18th century, Electric washing machines were introduced onto the market. In the good old days, we used to wash clothes using our hands. A water source was a river. Laundry was then beaten on the rocks before leaving them to dry in the sun. The first electric washing machine was called ‘The Thor’ and was invented by Alva J. Fisher in 1901. It featured a galvanized tub powered by an electric motor. The Hurley Machine Company manufactured the earliest electric washing machines using Fisher’s prototype in 1908. A patent for this device was issued on August 9, 1910.

This technology has reduced our workload so we can spend our time more productively and on things we enjoy.

How often do you look in the mirror?

Before the mirror was invented, humans probably used pools of still water to see their own reflections and polished metal or obsidian (volcanic glass) have been discovered as suspected ancient versions of the ‘looking glass’.

In 1835, the of the first modern mirror is credited to German chemist Justus von Liebig. He developed the technique of applying a layer of metallic silver to the back of a pane of clear glass through the chemical reduction of silver nature. This technique was adapted and improved upon, allowing for the mass production of mirrors.

Once mirrors became available to the average person it let us see what we really looked like.
