Step into the world of roasters, where the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans fills the air. An assortment of coffee roasters and mills await, ready to transform ordinary green beans into a rich and flavorful brew. Travel back in time to 1937 with Samuel Fineman's Roasting Oven, a masterpiece that stood as a testament to the artistry of coffee preparation. Imagine the bustling interior of a grocery shop depicted in vivid colors through an enchanting engraving, showcasing the importance of this humble yet essential tool. Household utensils come alive in vibrant chromolitho prints, revealing intricate details and craftsmanship that were once commonplace. A diagram of a range provides insight into how these early roasters fit seamlessly into daily life, fueling households with their beloved morning elixir. Even suffragettes recognized the power behind these magical contraptions; their Votes for Women Advertising featured images depicting strong women fueling their fight for equality with cups brewed from these very machines. Journey further along our historical timeline and discover an illustration from a guidebook to Torquay rendered in captivating chromolitho hues. It transports us to quaint cafes where locals gathered around roaring fires while savoring cups brewed by skilled hands using traditional methods. The Tacuinum Sanitatis takes us even deeper into history—a medieval handbook offering insights on health—where we find references to roasting techniques passed down through generations. The image depicts not only roasted coffee but also showcases another symbol associated with mornings: a proud rooster heralding each new day. Fast forward to Paris' Exposition Universelle, where gas-powered marvels took center stage at Universal Expositions like never before. Among them was an innovative Gas Roaster designed specifically for perfecting every batch without compromising flavor or efficiency. Finally, let's shift gears momentarily from coffee as we explore silver refining processes captured within burning furnaces—an unexpected connection between two seemingly disparate worlds united by the transformative power of heat.
