In Turin, in 1884 an incredible new innovation was developed that would change the way work would be done for all of history. No more would tired labourers have to rely on pure willpower to get them through the day or lean on the watered-down attempt at caffeination that was normal coffee and tea. Instead, thanks to the innovative methods of Angelo Moriondo coffee had seen a new age of enlightenment, as his new machine found a way to separately control the passing of steam and water through the coffee. This innovation made it possible to extract the fullest possible potential from the humble coffee bean. Espresso Day was created to honoor this invention and the wonderful man who made it all possible. True, the machine has undergone multiple upgrades and innovations since then, with homemade espresso machines now being available, and the latte is now one of the most popular methods of imbibing this drink. From Turin, Italy this beverage spread throughout the world, earning a place of prominence in Europe, the USA, and eventually the world at large. I wonder if Angelo had any idea what he'd started? Still, I'm glad he did
We have one too - problem is it doesn’t fit on the stove trivet properly and falls over setting fire to the plastic handle - also for some reason the coffee it makes is not as nice as my keeping up with the Jones’ Gaggia...
you probably got sucked in and bought a Celeb chef endorsed Morphy Richards one - be better off with a jar of Nescafé.
Mate my Italian Mrs only keeps up with her sisters and god do they try to outdo each other you don’t want to know which machine she has, suffice to say it came directly from Naples and cost the equivalent of the Isle of Wight’s land mass! besides that I can’t spell it
We do have one of these, and it is great...love the sound when the hot water bubbles up. But can't use it on the hob we have at the moment.
