A Brief History of Espresso
Summary
Espresso: A Quick Brew with Rich History
Introduction
At the dawn of the 20th century, Luigi Bezzera, an innovative manufacturing business owner, sought a way to brew coffee more swiftly. He hypothesized that adding pressure to the brewing process could accelerate it. This experiment led to the creation of the "Fast Coffee Machine," producing not only a quicker brew but a stronger, fuller-flavored cup. This efficient method of brewing enhanced the extraction of the coffee beans, avoiding the over-extraction he encountered before. The name "Espresso," meaning "fast" in Italian, aptly described this innovation.
The Rise of Espresso
The true popularity of espresso began when Desiderio Pavoni acquired the rights to Bezzera's machine. Pavoni excelled at marketing the product, revolutionizing how people consumed coffee. Today, espresso and coffee shops are ubiquitous, providing not just delicious drinks but new social hubs.
Espresso Timeline
- 1901: Luigi Bezzera patented an espresso machine with a boiler and four "groups" that could accommodate different filter sizes. This machine forced boiling water through coffee into a cup, marking the birth of espresso, according to Ambrogio Fumagelli.
- 1903: Desiderio Pavoni purchased Bezzera’s patent and brought the espresso machine to the market.
- 1905: The Pavoni company began manufacturing espresso machines exclusively based on Bezzera’s design.
- 1927: The first espresso machine, a La Pavoni model, was installed in the United States at Regio's in New York.
- 1938: Cremonesi developed a piston pump to force hot water through coffee, which was installed at Achille Gaggia's coffee bar.
- 1946: Gaggia commenced the commercial production of piston machines, creating the creamy coffee we recognize today.
Espresso has transformed from a novel invention to a global phenomenon, beloved for its speed, flavor, and social allure.
