Who Was Angelo Moriondo?

Born on 6 June 1851 in Turin, Italy, Angelo Moriondo’s family was always brewing new ideas or projects. His grandfather founded a liquor production company that was managed by his father. Moriondo launched a popular chocolate company with his cousin brother Gariglio and named it “Moriondo and Gariglio”.

What Was The Idea Behind Developing Espresso Machine?

Coffee was at its peak at that time. But coffee lovers had to wait for more than five minutes to get their drinks. It is so because brewing coffee manually was a time-consuming and labor intensive effort. Angelo Moriondo made the first espresso machine and got it patented by the international community.

What Was The First Known Espresso Machine?

Angelo Moriondo took his machine to the General Expo of Turin in 1884 where his invention received a bronze medal. Also, the invention was registered in Paris on 23 October 1885 and patented.

The original machine had two boilers. The first boiler was used to push hot water through a bed of coffee ground and the second boiler was for producing steam to flash the bed of coffee to complete the brew. This invention reduced the waiting time of coffee lovers and increased the sale and popularity of coffee as well.
