Compendium of coffee related patents?

[dragonflycanoe]

I am a patent junky. I love to explore the various patent databases for patents relevant to my interests. Plus, a lot of the earlier patents have very interesting drawings that accompany them.

I have explored several patent classes that interest me, including those related to canoes and small boats, and related hardware like oars and oarlocks. I am a member of several woodworking and metalworking groups, who have created DATAMP, which is a database of patents related to antique tools and woodworking machines.

I am curious to know if any similar efforts similarly exist for patents related to coffee roasting and brewing, particularly prior to 1950.

Not that I'm familiar with. I would love to see a collection of patents for new brewing methods.
