On this day, the Italian inventor Angelo Moriondo was awarded a patent for a period of six years under the title of “New steam machinery for the economic and instantaneous confection of coffee beverage, method ‘A. Moriondo’.” The historian, Ian Bersten, describes the device as “the first Italian bar machine that controlled the supply of steam and water separately through the coffee” and describes Moriondo as “one of the earliest discoverers of the expresso machine.” Moriondo, however, limited himself to the construction of a few hand-built machines which he jealously conserved in his establishments. Unlike later espresso machines, Moriondo’s invention did not brew coffee for the individual customer.
