Espresso Makers

In the late 19th century, coffee lovers throughout Europe were fond of ordering “café-espress” or “made to order” coffee. Going beyond a standard brew, made to order coffee was fresh and made of the finest imported beans. While the brewing technology of coffee machines back then cannot match today’s professional Jura Capresso machines, a clever inventory built a machine that brewed thousands of cups each hour using steaming at the 1896 World Fair held in Nizhny Novgorod Russia. While the invention was impressive, the coffee machine couldn’t obtain the right temperature (90 to 100 degrees celius) for optimal texture and flavor.
