Angelo Moriondo - The World's First Espresso Machine Revealed

In this video we feature the revolutionary coffee maker considered to be the first ever espresso machine. The machine’s designer was Angelo Moriondo, a hotel owner, cocktail bar proprietor and inventor based in Turin, Italy. Moriondo secured his patent in 1884 and produced a very small number of machines featuring an optional gas or wood burner at the bottom of an upright boiler.
Moriondo’s machine was equipped with water level and steam pressure gauges, as well as a safety valve and a quick-mount handle. One revolutionary feature of this machine was that it allowed the operator (the word barista wouldn’t come into regular usage until the 1930s) to control the amount of hot water and steam used in the brewing process.
Although there are no known machines left in existence, Australia machine collector Ian Bersten, found a mention of Moriondo’s patent in the French Patent Archives in 1991. Since that discovery, it remains clear that this was the first large scale steam pressure machine designed for a bar top. One unusual feature is that this machine was in fact a batch brewer capable of producing 50 servings at a time. Instead of having a single-serve portafilter, like Luigi Bezzera's famous espresso machine from 1901, this machine had a huge brew basket which could accommodate 500-600 grams of coffee grinds. That’s nearly 30 times more coffee than we recommend you use to make double espresso these days.

This could not have been more perfectly designed. I can see how it may have flaws and limitations but this is so ingenious for a machine of its time.
