Factory-made brass coffee pot. This type of coffee pot was invented in Paris in 1819 by a tinsmith called Morize and became known as the caffettiera napoletana or cuccuma (cogoma in the Veneto dialect). It spread throughout Italy in the twentieth century. It is a double filter coffee pot in which coffee is made without boiling and evaporation. It consists of five elements (a water tank, a filter section for the ground coffee, a pot for the brewed coffee, two handles and a spout). The cover has a wooden knob that allows it to be lifted. Coffee-drinking was well established among broad swathes of the population of Europe by the end of the eighteenth century and had also reached Slovenia.
