proposed move

[edit]

I think this should probably be moved back to "Napoletana" or changed to "Napoletana coffee maker." What I surmise, from the two external links I have incorporated, is that, really, the most generic name for the item discussed in this article is a "reversible coffee pot" or a "flip pot." Napoletana seems to be a possibly proprietary name for one particular model, which may however be the only available coffee maker of this type. Besides moving the article name, it should be rewritten so that "Napoletana coffee" is not spoken of as a kind of coffee or a method of coffee preparation (though the use this type of coffee pot does constitute a unique method of coffee preparation!), but rather "the Napoletana" is a type of "reversible coffee pot" with which coffee is made by the drip method.

Why talk when I can do? I have made the necessary changes and will now set about the move to a more appropriate article name. Wareh 19:26, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Karlsbader Kanne

[edit]

What's the difference between this percolating combination and similar ones?
de:Seihkanne claims that the french coffeepot with percolation top can be traced to at least 1795.
It further claims, that similar percolating combinations are known in the USA as Karlsbad pot or Bohemian pot.

A Karlsbad-style coffee maker is a specific kind of French Drip / Seihkanne with a special cross-slitted through-glazed porcelain filter. This filter is the defining property - there are many similarly looking coffee machines with round holes or made out of other materials (like metal), they are French Drip coffee makers, but not Karlsbad-style coffee makers.
The Napoletana, the Russian egg pot and the Potsdam boiler all belong into the group of flip coffee pots, which are also derivatives of French Drips coffee makers, but different from Karlsbad-style coffee makers.
French Drips / Seihkannen of any of these kinds are not percolators.

Name

[edit]

I think the name of Napolitan is only used in English, in Italian this coffee pot is known as cuccumella and the original name mainly used in France was the one of the inventor Morize.

I would say that it is known as Napolitan because of the Napolitan immigrants that made it known in the US and because it was very popular in Naples. 77.205.47.232 (talk) 17:26, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
