National Espresso Day

About National Espresso Day

Angelo Moriondo, from Turin, patented a steam-driven "instantaneous" coffee beverage making device in 1884. The device is "almost certainly the first Italian bar machine that controlled the supply of steam and water separately through the coffee" and as such Moriondo is regarded as the inventor of the espresso machine.
