A Brief History of Espresso
Author: J. Brian Keith
Luigi Bezzera, the owner of a manufacturing business invented
Espresso at the turn of the century. Luigi Bezzera was simply
trying to figure out a way to brew coffee faster. He figured if
he could just add pressure to the brewing process it would
speed things up. Thus the "Fast Coffee Machine" was created. His
idea of a fast cup of coffee turned out much better than
he had planned, what he ended up with is a better, fuller
tasting cup of strong coffee, as well as a much faster process.
He
found that the quicker more efficient brewing method allowed for
the quality of the beans to be extracted as opposed to over
extracting he had previously experienced. The term "Espresso"
means fast in italian, hence the term.
It wasn't until later when Desidero Pavoni purchased the rights
from Mr. Bezzera for the espresso machine that it became
popular. Pavoni was extremely successful in marketing the
product and probably changed the way people drink coffee from
then
on. Just look around! Coffee and Espresso shops are popping up
everywhere, even in the U.S. it has become not only popular
for the delicious beans, but has given us a new place to
socialize.
Espresso Timeline:
In 1901 Luigi Bezzera filed a patent for the espresso machine
that contained a boiler and four "groups". Each group could
take different size filters that contained the coffee. Boiling
water was forced through the coffee and into a cup. Ambrogio
Fumagelli says that this was the birth of (fast) espresso
coffee.
In 1903 Luigi Bezzera's patent was then purchased by Desiderio
Pavoni and put to market in a big way.
In 1905 The Pavoni company begins manufacturing the espresso
machines soley based on Bezzera's patent.
In 1927 First espresso machine was installed in the United
States. It was a La Pavoni Espresso Machine installed at Regio's
in New York.
In 1938 Cremonesi designed a piston pump that forced hot water
through the coffee. It was installed at Achille Gaggia's
coffee bar.
In 1946 Gaggia begins manufacturing the commercial piston
machine. Resulting foam or cream layered coffee or cafe'.
