Coffee Origins: Espresso

Espresso is a strong roast that was born due to the need for speed in the making of coffee.

There are many different profiles of coffee out there. Professionals are capable of distinguishing each source and taste, but for newbies, it is hard to detect certain characteristics of coffee at first. But no matter if you’re new or experienced on the subject, you can tell the taste of an espresso everywhere. But where does this unique way to prepare coffee come from? Here you’ll get a look at how this drink was born.

The first attempts of developing an express coffee are dated back in the late 1800s when coffee was already a popular beverage among Europeans. It was until 1880 that an Italian named Angelo Moriondo submitted a patent for a device that required steam and water to brew coffee (in large batches). The machine didn’t quite make it, and it was quickly forgotten.

Two decades after, two Italians built a machine that brewed a single cup of coffee in a manner of seconds. Luigi Bezzera and Desiderio Pavoni were the minds behind this invention; the resulting beverage was called “caffe espresso,” and it was the first time coffee was made expressly for people. The reception of the machine didn’t quite make it either back in the day.

World War II reached a breaking point for espresso with the development of a lever-driven machine. Massive boilers were no longer necessary, and size was standardizing of the drink. Later on, a motorized-pump machine was developed by Carlo Ernesto Valente.

Today, people can easily make their own espresso by brewing it on a French Press, which provides the same results.

With more than two centuries in the cups of everyone, espresso still proves to be an enjoyable, strong flavored coffee. That Coffee Roasters work in the development of the best profile for their coffee products; their only goal is to provide specialty coffee you won’t be having anywhere else.

This instanteneous preparation is dated back to 1884 when Angelo Mariondo patented a steam-driven cofee beverage making device.
