Also, there used to be special coffee cups and coffee pots that you could use with the coffee filters. And really, you can also use it with only a cup. Seriously.
And Heron was greek, not Egyptian, even if he lived in Egypt. The Greeks also invented lots of things we profit from this day. I recall one ancient greek guy inventing automatically opening and closing doors (and we're talking about huge temple doors here), using only water and levers. And he even hid the whole mechanism underground, so you would have a lovely illusion of the doors magically opening. |
Nice.

Why, what makes you think I looked under "coffee machine"?
Okay, you got me there, I admit. Although I think it's really the fault of the idiot who made "coffee machine" redirect to the vending machine article.

Wellllll, so some people claim. I recently read an article on it in Archeology magazine, and the results on tests on whether or not the skulls was made with modern tools were inconclusive. Still, don't go ruining KotCS' story!
