La
Pavoni history
La Pavoni Spa was founded in Milan in 1905 thanks to
Desiderio Pavoni in a little workshop at Via Parini. His first invention
was patented by Luigi Bezzera,
on 1st September 1902, duly registered at the Milan State office on 19th September 1903, and gave life to the first espresso coffee machine for bar called "Ideale"
It was a vertical machine, with a boiler kept at a
constant pressure by a gas-ring which it rested on, or by means of
electricity, with side brewing groups (from 1 to 4) supported by
inside hooks and had a filter for ground coffee.
By opening a knob, at a pressure of 1,5 bar, water first and then steam
passed through the ground coffee in the filter, enabling the brewing of
the espresso, which - in one minute - was ready in the cup; the
machine was also fitted with some knobs to get hot water or steam to
prepare hot drinks.
Being the first machine of it's kind to be marketed,
this model spread the fashion of drinking Italian style "espresso"
coffee at the bar, in Europe, first, and then around the whole world.
These machines are fantastic value and styled as a work of art to look fantastic in any kitchen.
