The History of Coffee – by De’longhi

Delonghi-EN660R Espresso Coffee Maker - REDDe’Longhi is situated in Treviso, very near to Venice, and great inspiration is taken from this when designing and crafting our domestic coffee machines to ensure that consumers can achieve a true Italian coffee in the comfort of their own homes.

Coffee was first brought to Europe in the 1600’s via the vibrant, modern and wealthy Italian port of Venice, which was a key trading site between North African and Eastern countries, and the rest of Europe. The wealthy Venetians recognised and greatly appreciated this important substance and soon established the first Italian coffee bar, the world famous ‘Caffe Florian’ in towards the end of the 17th century.

From this moment on, Italy and Venice became synonymous with coffee, and in 1901 Luigi Bezzera invented the world’s first espresso machine. ‘Espresso’, literally meaning ‘express or fast’ in Italian, is considered the true connoisseur’s way of drinking coffee. It forces hot Delonghi ICM2B Filter Coffee Makerwater and steam under pressure (measured in ‘Bars’) through freshly ground coffee to create a short and intense coffee, full of body and flavour. A sign of a quality espresso is the ‘crema’ – a creamy layer that sits on top of the espresso to seal in the temperature and flavour. The thicker the crema, the better the espresso and the quality of the machine that produced it. All De’Longhi espresso makers have a Bar pressure of 15 or above – equal to those found in any professional bar or restaurant.
