A Brief History of Espresso

Luigi Bezzera, the owner of a manufacturing business invented Espresso at the turn of the century. Luigi Bezzera was simply trying to figure out a route to brew coffee quciker. He figured if he could just add pressure to the brewing process it would speed things up. Therefore the “Fast Coffee Machine” was producted. His conveived of a quick cup of coffee became out much better than he had planned, what he ended up with is a finer, fuller tasting cup of strong coffee, as well as a much quicker procedure. He found that the quicker more effectual brewing method granted for the quality of the beans to be extracted as opposed to over extracting he had previously experienced. The bicycle “Espresso” means quick in italian, such being the case the cycle. It was not until later when Desidero Pavoni bought the rights from Mr. Bezzera for the espresso machine that it became favorite. Pavoni was extremely successful in marketing the product & probably changed the route people drink coffee from then on. Just seem around! Coffee & Espresso shops are popping up everyplace, even in the U.S. it has become not only favourite for the delicious beans, but has conceded us a new place to socialize. Espresso Timeline: In 1901 Luigi Bezzera filed a patent for the espresso machine that contained a boiler & four “groups”. Every group could take different size filters that contained the coffee. Boiling water was forced through the coffee & into a cupful. Ambrogio Fumagelli says that this was the birth of (fast) espresso coffee. In 1903 Luigi Bezzera’s patent was then bought by Desiderio Pavoni & put to grocery shop in a oversized path. In 1905 The Pavoni company begins manufacturing the espresso machines soley based on Bezzera’s patent. In 1927 first espresso machine was installed in the Incorporate Countries. It was a La Pavoni Espresso Machine installed at Regio’s in New York. In 1938 Cremonesi designed a piston pump that forced hot water through the coffee. It was installed at Achille Gaggia’s coffee tavern. In 1946 Gaggia begins manufacturing the commercial piston machine. Resulting foam or cream layered coffee or cafe’.
