Italian Espresso
Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing very hot, but not boiling, water under high pressure through coffee that has been ground to consistency between extremely fine and powder.

Invention: Espresso was invented and has undergone development in Milan, Italy, since the beginning of the 20th century, but up until the mid 40s. It was a beverage produced solely with steam pressure. The invention of the spring piston lever machine and its commercial success changed espresso into the beverage we know today, produced with between 9 and 10 atmospheres or bars of pressure.
