Mr Coffee was not extremely cheap outside of America, it doesn't even exist outside of America because the problem it solves was already solved by other companies outside of America.

I understand that it might have been a great improvement for the American coffee drinkers (I don't know, I've never heard of Mr Coffee until yesterday because I'm not American), but it did nothing to influence "coffee culture everywhere else" as the OP boldly claims, because everywhere else is outside of America!

Who's design again?

The Melitta machine cost 120 DM in 1965 which is ~270€ today, the Mr Coffee cost 40$ in 1972, which is ~270€ today. It wasn't even cheaper, just later.
