The Origin of Italian Coffee Machine the History of espresso Machine

History of espresso machines

The history of the commercial espresso machine in the usual coffee book will be unified as the piston-type pump machine invented by Gaggia in 1948. In the past 60 years, the big appearance and principle of the espresso machine have basically not changed greatly. It is a pity that the original exposed E61 type brewing port is no longer popular. Personally, I like that kind of very classical copper machine very much. However, fouling and copper rust are unavoidable problems. Modern medium-to-high-end machines, such as conti and La Marzocco, a special machine for starbucks, often use aluminum alloy boilers. Conti is a french machine that has also been used as a dedicated machine by coffee beanery. If you want to buy E61 machines, it seems that faema and other brands are still available, and even manual piston machines can be found, but the pressure cannot be guaranteed. Speaking of manual camera, it always reminds me that the earliest film camera was also hand-cranked. At that time, many photographers would shake very fast when they shot nervous shots. As a result, people on the screen moved crazy. Sometimes they would shake very slowly when they encountered calm and beautiful shots, so shaking film was a technical job at that time. It's the same now. If the pressure isn't enough, crema can't come out.

Gaggia is still producing espresso machines today, but all aspects of technology have fallen behind, and quality has declined, really let people feel that time flies ah.
