Nineteenth century.In 1844, Louis Gabet invented the pendulum siphon. It separates the two containers which are placed next to each other (ceramic for water, glass for coffee); the water is transferred in a tube from one to the other by siphon effect. When the water is transferred to the second container, its weight increases and triggers a pendulum which automatically turns off the burner at the right time.
