Have you ever wondered how coffee machines came to be and how they have evolved throughout history? Today we delve into the fascinating world of espresso machines.
☕ Where does your coffee machine come from? A brief look at its history.
The first steps towards the perfect espresso began in the 19th century. In 1884, Angelo Moriondo from Turin patented the first known coffee machine , which used steam pressure to quickly prepare coffee. But it was not until 1938 that Achille Gaggia devised the revolutionary high-pressure extraction system that enabled the rich coffee crema we know today.
Over the decades, espresso machines have become more precise and adaptable. Today, with the right machine, you can make coffee at home that rivals that of the best coffee shops!
🔍 How do coffee machines work?
Every good espresso machine is based on controlled pressure and temperature , which allow for optimal flavor extraction from the coffee beans.
The most common types of coffee machines:
✔️ Manual espresso machines – complete control over grinding, dosing and extraction. Ideal for those who like to experiment!

Using a quality machine and freshly ground coffee, you can prepare the perfect espresso, cappuccino or latte macchiato at home.
