Wigomat
Wigomat's theme is one that has captured the attention of people from all walks of life. Whether it is a controversial topic, an influential person or a historical event, Wigomat has managed to generate interest and debate in different communities and social circles. Over the years, Wigomat has been the subject of study, analysis and reflection, which demonstrates its relevance and impact on society and popular culture. In this article, we will explore different aspects related to Wigomat, from its origin and evolution to its influence on the world today.
The Wigomat was one of the world's first electrical drip coffee makers and patented in 1954 in Germany.[1] It was named after the manufacturer Gottlob Widmann "Wi-go-mat", although some early machines were delivered as "FK-1" (for filter coffee machine).
History
Coffee was, until the late 1950s, brewed by hand or made in a percolator. In both cases the temperature was considered to be too high. Therefore, at the launch of the Wigomat it was advertised to have the best brewing temperature. In the 1970s many machines followed the principle of drip coffee, but the Wigomat remained a competitor: "The people at Zabar's tell us that their Wigomat Coffee Maker is one of the best of the currently popular instant-drip coffee makers" wrote a New York-based magazine in 1975.
