Who Invented The Espresso Machine?

What a great question! If you are an espresso lover, you may be interested to know a little bit more about the history of the espresso machine.

The espresso machine was actually invented in 1901 by Lugia Bezzer because he wanted a faster option in coffee brewing to speed up the coffee breaks of his employees. This was a device that was supposed to save time by using pressure to brew a concentrated shot of coffee. It was originally called the "Fast Coffee Machine". The patent for this machine was sold in 1905 to Desidero Pavoni (sound familiar?), and he used a piston pump to push water through a tube for an even finer espresso product.

Obviously, La Pavoni espresso machines, from one of the original espresso machine creators, are still going strong and can be found on my website today!
