History of the "Espressor" coffee machine
History of the "Espressor" coffee machine
Angelo Moriondo, from Turin, patented a device for making "instant" steamed coffee drinks in 1884. The device is "almost certainly the first Italian bar machine to control the supply of steam and water separately through coffee," and Moriondo he is "certainly one of the first, if not the earliest, discoverers of the espresso machine." Seventeen years later, in 1901, Luigi Bezzera of Milan designed and patented several improvements to the espresso machine, entitled "Innovations in Machines for the Immediate Preparation and Serving of Coffee Drinks." In 1903, the patent was bought by Desiderio Pavoni, who founded the company La Pavoni and began to produce the industrial machine, producing a machine daily in a small workshop in Via Parini, Milan.
The popularity of espresso has developed in various ways. In Italy, the increase in espresso consumption has been associated with urbanization, with espresso bars providing a place for socializing. Moreover, coffee prices were controlled by local authorities, provided that the coffee was consumed standing up, encouraging the "stand at a bar" culture.
In English-speaking countries, espresso has become popular, especially in the form of cappuccino, due to the tradition of drinking latte and the exotic attraction of foam. In the United States, this was more often in the form of latte, with or without added flavoring syrups. Latte is said to have been invented in the 1950s by American Italian Lino Meiorin of Caffe Mediterraneum in Berkeley, California, as a long cappuccino, and was then popularized in Seattle and then nationally and internationally by Starbucks in the late 1980s. and 1990.
In England, espresso has grown in popularity among young people in the 1950s, who felt better received in cafes than in pubs. Espresso was initially popular especially in the Italian diaspora, growing in popularity with tourism in Italy.
As specialty coffee developed in the 1980s, an indigenous artisanal coffee culture developed, with espresso positioned as a luxury beverage.
In the years 2010, coffee culture commentators distinguished middle-chain coffee in the middle of the market as "Second Wave Coffee" and luxury craft coffee as "Third Wave Coffee." In the Middle East and Asia, espresso is growing in popularity with the opening of western coffee chains.
Trieste is home to the "Universita del Caffee", founded by Illy in 1999. This center of excellence was created to spread the culture of quality coffee through training around the world, to educate the barista and to carry out research and innovation. Particular attention is paid to the preparation of espresso and relevant scientific research. It is also about the correct interaction of coffee and espresso.
