From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Satori Kato was a Japanese-American scientist and chemist. Kato is best known for inventing the first soluble instant coffee and presenting the invention in 1901 (some sources indicate 1881) at the Pan-American World Fair.[1] American inventor George Washington Carver created a mass-produced version of instant coffee in 1906 with Kato's work as a precursor.
