(Redirected from Büttner system)

"System Büttner" coffee makers (German: Büttner-Kaffeemaschine[1]) have been a type of manual and semi-automatic coffee makers combining coffee steeping (infusion, full immersion) with drip-filtering (percolation).

Overview[edit]

The idea to combine steeping with drip-filtering was utilized by Berlin-based coffee roaster Carl Artur Büttner (also written as Carl Arthur Büttner)[nb 1] in his 1926 invention of a manual zero-bypass flat bottom coffee maker consisting of four parts, all made out of porcelain: a filter pot (Filtergefäß / Oberteil, "O") with lid (Deckel, "D"), saucer (Ablaufteller / Unterteil, "U") and coffee pot (Kaffeekanne, "K").[2][3][4][5][6][7] The filter pot featured a through-glazed porcelain filter with triangularly-arranged slits with some air space below. Steeping was achieved through a valving mechanism stopping the flow through the filter through a specially designed rotatable saucer with a single hole,[8][9][10][11][12] which had to be positioned between the filter pot and the coffee pot so that the hole was initially closed and was opened, when the coffee had been steeping for three to five minutes.[2] Once released, it then took between four to six minutes for the coffee to drip through the meanwhile settled coffee bed into the coffee pot,[2] a method sometimes also called cake filtration.

Marketed since spring 1927[5][6] and up into, at least, the 1940s, these coffee makers were available as stand-alone devices for home use, but were also adopted by various other German coffee roasters (including Maschinenfabrik Bremen (Bremen, Germany),[13][14] Georg Schrader & Co. aka Geschraco (Bremen, Germany), Ferd + Eichhorn [de] (Braunschweig, Germany), Heimbs & Sohn Co. [de] (Braunschweig, Germany) and Columbus (Germany)) as part of larger coffee machines produced by the porcelain manufacturer Bauscher [de] (Weiden, Germany) for heavy-duty semi-continuous batch useinrestaurants and canteens. The Büttner extraction method was boldly marketed claiming to be the world's best moka and coffee filter ("Der beste Mokka- und Kaffeefilter der Welt").[2]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The original company was founded in 1903 by Hugo Büttner (sen.) in Halberstadt, Germany. In 1919, his brother Wilhelm "Willi" Büttner joined the company forming Gebrüder Büttner. Carl Artur Büttner (aka Carl Arthur Büttner), a relative, founded an independent Berlin-based subsidiary of the company in December 1925. It was located at Wittenbergplatz, Bayreuther Straße 34 in Berlin. In 1933, Rolf Büttner founded another subsidiary in Halle, Germany. The company C. A. Büttner OHG was founded in 1934. During World War II, the company site in Halberstadt was destroyed in a bombing raid in 1945. The Büttner Kaffee-Handelsgesellschaft mbH (now located in the Western part of Berlin) filed for insolvency in 1961 after the erection of the Berlin Wall and was taken over by the Bremen-based Gebrüder Westhoff Kaffeerösterei [de] between 1968 and 1974. In 1965, the Halle-based business was dissolved when Rolf Büttner joined his brother Hugo Büttner (jun.) trying to rebuild their father's company site in Halberstadt, however, Hugo Büttner (jun.) died in 1971 and the company was conviscated by the GDR in 1972.
