"An Improved Method of Making Coffee," published by James Smithson in Thomson's Annals of Philosophy, Vol. XXII; New Series Vol. VI, 1823, page 30. In this article, Smithson recommends heating coffee in an enclosed glass vessel sealed with a cork to retain the flavor and aroma of the coffee beans. The founding donor of the Smithsonian did serious research on the composition of minerals, as well as experiments with practical applications.
