Espresso Timeline as told by Australia
An espresso is the true expression of coffee. Pure and intense in exactly one ounce. Espresso is the name of a highly concentrated, bittersweet coffee originating in Italy in the
early 20th century. Translated from Italian, the word espresso refers to the speed and single-serve nature of the
coffee compared with slower and more communal methods of brewing coffee.
ESPRESSO ART

The term café-espress has been used since the 1880s, well before espresso machines existed. It means coffee made to order, expressly
for the person ordering it. It also means coffee fresh in every sense of the word:
!Made from fresh beans roasted at most two weeks prior to use,
Ground just before brewing, Brewed just before drinking.
ESPRESSO MEANS FRESH

In 1901, the Italian inventor Luigi Bezzera came up with a workable solution. Pavoni manufactured these first espresso machines in 1905.
!This machine was also steam powered. However, the steam does not come into
contact with the coffee. Instead, steam pressure at the top of the boiler forces water at the bottom of the boiler through ground coffee. The coffee
is held in a group consisting of a portafilter, a metal filter basket and removable brass mount, and a brew head into which the portafilter attaches.
THE FIRST COFFEE MACHINE
WWW.1882.COM.AU
In the 1920s through the 1940s, Italian engineers experimented with pumping devices to increase the brewing pressure. The first
practical one was developed by Cremonesi in 1938 and manufactured by Achille Gaggia in 1946. It used a hand powered piston. On machines of this type, steam pressure in the boiler forces the water into a cylinder, but then it is pressurized
further by a spring-powered piston to about 8 to 9 bar

Legend has it that the first patrons to drink the new potion at Gaggia's coffee bar didn't think it was so nice. They asked, "What's this scum (sciuma - foam) on my coffee?" So in a
marketing ploy, Gaggia called the new drink "caffè crema" instead of espresso.
WHAT’S THIS SCUM ON MY COFFEE?

The next innovations were commercialized in 1961 by Faema. Instead of a piston situated between the boiler and ground coffee, they used an electric pump to move cold water
through a heat exchanger that traversed the boiler to the grouphead. !
The next big breakthrough came in the late 1970s. A company called Ulka introduced a small, inexpensive pump that could still produce the pressure required by modern espresso.
This made affordable and small home pump espresso machines a practical possibility.
