A coffee maker or brewing device that works by slowly dripping hot water through ground coffee into a pot below.
From English 'drip' (imitative origin) + '-ator' (suffix from Latin meaning 'one who' or 'something that does'), referring to a device that accomplishes the dripping process.
The 'dripolator' was a revolutionary home appliance in the early 20th century—before electric coffee makers, this gravity-fed device gave ordinary people café-quality coffee for the first time.
