If you were letting your ideas about what yesterda

If you were letting your ideas about what yesterday’s “What That Gadget” challenge percolate, and thinking it might have a thing or two to do with coffee, you are on the right track!

What we have here is a 19th century tilting coffee pot, or a “tipper”. This one is silver plate, but most tippers operated similarly— boiling hot water added to the lower dish heats the brewing coffee or tea in the interior percolator (or keeps already brewed coffee nice and warm!). The pot, attached to a hinge, could then be conveniently tipped to pour coffee into a waiting cup.

A tipper like this would have been a popular choice for serving guests during the 19th century. Could you imagine having friends over for coffee and pouring into their waiting mugs from this?

Learn more about tippers and other coffee-making and home technology gizmos when you visit “Gadgets Galore! Transforming the American Household” now on exhibit at Camron-Stanford House!
