Do you know who invented the espresso machine?

I believe that each coffee shop can attract your attention, in addition to the unique decoration, there are all kinds of Italian coffee machines, they also show the different characteristics of each coffee shop!

Although there are a variety of machines, but the mode of operation is very unified, only a few simple steps can bring us a cup of rich and rich coffee! So, when we use it, do we have such a question from time to time: who invented it?

Who invented the espresso machine? Before the birth of the espresso machine, people used mocha pots, pots, and various dripping tools to extract coffee, but without exception, the extraction of these coffees took a long time to wait! There will always be people who will get tired of waiting, and Mr Angelo Angelo Moriondo of Italy is one of them. As a result, he began to devote himself to the research, put forward the concept of coffee machine, and showed the coffee machine body at the World Expo held in Italy in 1884.

This machine has two primary and secondary boilers. The main boiler is used to produce hot water and the secondary boiler is used to produce steam. When someone needs to extract coffee, the steam from the secondary boiler will rush over the coffee powder with the hot water from the main boiler, and the extraction is complete! Although this machine at this time is not an Italian coffee machine, but its emergence, in the coffee culture of the world, has a cross-era significance! Mr. Angelo invented this original coffee machine, but he only applied for a patent for "steam equipment for rapid production of coffee by steam operation" and did not put it into commercial production. You know, this is the fastest coffee making equipment at that time! In 1901, Milan's mechanic improved the first version of the coffee machine so that it could be better used by the general public. Then he applied for a patent for a coffee machine that could be used commercially. In 1905, four years after the application, Desid Cuo of La Pavoni bought its patent and improved it by adding a cooking head. At this point, the world's first Italian coffee machine was born!

Because the first version of the coffee machine made only black coffee, not espresso. Therefore, the first version of the machine can only be said to be the world's first coffee machine, and this is the world's first Italian coffee machine!

The common coffee machines on the market now are square-looking, but La Pavoni's original Italian coffee machine doesn't look like this. Instead, it's a bit like a fire hydrant. This coffee machine has a 140C high temperature brewing head and 1.5bar extraction pressure to allow coffee to be extracted in 45 seconds! But if you want to talk about the taste of coffee, it is bound to be inferior to today's coffee. After all, apart from the relatively backward technology, the beans at that time were not as delicate as they are now, so there was no comparison! But its emergence led to the inclusion of the word "espresso" in the Italian dictionary at the beginning of the 20th century, annotated as "espresso made with a pressurized machine or filter!"

The reason why the coffee machine we use now can reach 9bar is in the hands of 1947 Milan baristas! It turned out that the former barista was more curly, not only to be able to make coffee but also to make a coffee machine! ) it invented the piston manual pull rod coffee machine, so that it can have more air pressure to extract more coffee flavor, at the same time, it can also have more golden oil!

The patent was also acquired, and the person who acquired it was Faema. They used this technology to release Faema E61 in 1961 and became world-famous. Because this coffee machine uses a water pump to raise the pressure to 9bar, and the water temperature, extraction in all aspects have a very stable performance! Therefore, as soon as it was released, it caused a phenomenal popularity and became famous. Moreover, many modern semi-automatic coffee machines are based on it for research and upgrading! So it's not too much to call it the father of a semi-automatic coffee machine!

Gradually, the market for coffee machines is getting richer and richer. All kinds of novel coffee machines confuse consumers' eyeballs with a variety of advantages, and even household minicomputers appear, so that friends can drink a cup of strong espresso at home. At this point, Qianjie turned around and made himself a drink to stop the greedy mouth for a long time.
