1st for office coffee machines
First for service
Where did coffee machines come from? It's a question that I just had to answer and the internet
dished up Chris Vorelli who has written a great article on this very
issue. He says that a man called Mr. Laurens developed the first
coffee-making machine in 1818. Although it has been modified over time,
what is really interesting is that there are just as many patents by women
as men! Go women! In the 1960's, the first filter machines were invented -
dang ...what did they drink before this! The espresso machine on the other
hand was developed by Lugia Bezzer in Italy in 1901. Ironically, all he
wanted to do was get his employees back to work as quickly as possible. He
thought that if he forced water through the coffee grind using
pressure, that it would speed up the brew time. He was not only right, but
he started a culture of coffee loving that has extended across the globe.
Unfortunately for him (I think!)but good for us, he sold the patent in
1905 to Desidero Pavoni who developed an espresso machine that used a
piston pump to force water through a tube and into the coffee. In 1946,
commercial espresso machine was invented. Since that time, the espresso
maker has been produced by many brand companies, including
Jura, Gaggia and Saeco...brands we stock. Thanks you two wonderful
pioneers...without you... Want to read more about coffee, coffee machines and coffee vending machines...here
