espresso

Desiderio Pavoni was a pivotal figure in espresso history who transformed Luigi Bezzera's invention into a commercial success. 
Desiderio Pavoni purchased Luigi Bezzera's patent in 1903, recognizing the potential that Bezzera himself couldn't capitalize on due to lack of financial resources and marketing expertise. 
In 1905, Pavoni founded the La Pavoni company and began producing the espresso machine industrially, manufacturing one machine daily in a small workshop in Via Parini, Milan.

In Europe, the period from around 1889, when the Paris World's Fair, where the Eiffel Tower was unveiled, to the outbreak of World War I is known as the Belle Époque (Beautiful Era).
This was also a period when various technologies developed due to the Industrial Revolution and artistic movements such as Art Nouveau emerged.
During this time, Luigi Bezzera developed a new espresso machine in Italy.

How was Espresso Machine born pre war, which is perfected by Achille Gaggia right after WWII in Italy?
 Angelo Moriondo was a pioneering Italian inventor who created the world's first espresso machine in 1884. Here's his remarkable story:

Giovanni Achille Gaggia (1895–1961) was an Italian inventor who revolutionized espresso coffee. 
Working as a barista in his family's coffee bar, Caffè Achille, in Milan during the 1930s, he became dissatisfied with the bitter, burnt taste of coffee produced by the steam machines of that era .

The Frappuccino is an original Starbucks product.
It is a portmanteau of frappe and cappuccino.
A frappe is a cold drink made with crushed ice and can be found in convenience stores and fast food restaurants.
A cappuccino is espresso mixed with steamed milk.
It was first sold at Starbucks in the United States in 1995.
Originally, Starbucks was a store that specialized in coffee, but coffee sales declined in the summer, so the Frappuccino was launched as an opportunity to sell cold drinks.

Now that we've talked about espresso, I'd like to write about cappuccino as well.
How is cappuccino different from regular coffee?
And how is it different from espresso?
Cappuccino is coffee milk with an espresso base.
You could say it's espresso milk.
As I mentioned here, espresso is richer and more fragrant than regular coffee.
Also, the milk used in cappuccino is steamed milk, which is milk heated and frothed with steam.
By exposing the milk to high-temperature steam, fine bubbles containing air are created, bringing out the sweetness.

When you think of regular coffee, many people think of the kind of coffee you get when you order a blend or iced coffee at a cafe.

At more discerning coffee shops, they might also offer straight coffee or single-origin coffee. But what about espresso?

Is it different from these types of regular coffee?

Espresso is much richer than regular coffee, with a concentrated bitterness, sweetness, acidity, and aroma. It's extracted under high pressure in a special machine, extracting finely ground beans in a short time of about 20 to 30 seconds.
