BREWING COFFEE WITH A STOCKING AND ITS ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT

By Olga Hernandez Even though there is not a lot of written history about this method of brewing coffee, its origin goes back to Northern Europe during the last years of the XVIII century. Since there was no sophisticated machine to brew coffee, stockings were used due to their low prices, commonality and accessibility. Soon, this method was mass produced as the official method to brew coffee and eventually came to the Americas. It became popular in countries where the cultivation of coffee was abundant. This method is composed of a wooden base and a hanging stocking that acts as a filter. The stocking is an organic filter made of cotton that can be reused over and over again. It was popular up until the invention of disposable coffee filters in 1908. This antique way of brewing coffee is still popular in some Latin American countries and is known by many different names: café
