History of Coffee Machine Chronicle Development of Commercial Coffee Machine

Childhood 1901-1947

Exclusive privilege of one cup of coffee at a time

In 1901, the coffee machine designed by Luigu Bezzera was successfully patented.

In 1902, his friend Desiderio Pavoni added a pressure relief piston device to the machine and commercialized the machine for production and sale.

In 1903, Bezzern sold the patent to Pavoni at a cost of 10, 000 lire due to financial difficulties.

In 1905, La Pavoni Company was announced.

In 1906, the Italian Arduino applied for a patent to install a heat exchanger in the machine to heat the water quickly.

In 1909, Luigi Giarlotto added a pump to the machine to solve the problem of insufficient pressure in the extraction.

In 1910, his second patent was the screw-down piston, which squeezed out all the delicacies of coffee from the piston.

In 1935, Dr. Illy invented the first machine to use compressed air to push water through coffee powder.

Since 1938, the placement of the boiler has been successfully improved from the original vertical to horizontal.

Puberty 1948-1961

The pressure increases and the water temperature decreases; the birth of the "gold bubble"

In 1948, Gaggia introduced the piston lever spring coffee machine to the market.

In 1952, the large vertical machine disappeared overnight.

In 1956, Cimbali used hydraulic systems to avoid consuming too much effort when using levers.

Maturity after 1962

The popularization of electronic parts; the advantages of "heat exchange and heat cycle"

In 1955, Giampietro Saccani took an important step to keep the temperature of the cooking head stable.

In 1961, Italy and Spain jointly produced the E61 model. In the past, hot water was pressurized, but now it is pressurized and then heated, which is a perfect revolution compared to the past.
