Vincent Marotta Sr., who as a creator of the Mr. Coffee machine helped send the percolator the way of the one-horse shay, died on Saturday at his home in Pepper Pike, Ohio. He was 91. His daughter Susan Parente confirmed his death.
One of the first automatic drip coffee makers designed for home use, Mr. Coffee was first marketed in 1972. The brainchild of Mr. Marotta, then a real estate developer, and his partner, Samuel Glazer, it was intended to replace the prevalent, problematic household percolator.
