"World's first" automatic coffee percolator?

[edit]

Perhaps "Britain's first"? My parents were married in December 1952 and recalled the gift of an automatic electric percolator of American manufacture; it was not a Russell Hobbs. 75.216.175.171 (talk) 01:45, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Found the following undocumented information in the current WP article, "Coffee percolator": "Electric percolators have been in production since at least the first decade of the 20th Century with General Electric, Schenectady, New York, publishing a 6 - page pamphlet titled "Coffee Making By Electricity" in 1905. Automatic percolators have been available since the 1940s or earlier." 2601:547:CB00:3D40:1884:BB1:D9CE:593B (talk) 23:13, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
