Get it quickly and make it strong!

It seems that Luigi Bezzera built the first single serving espresso coffee machine at the beginning of the twentieth century. 

I do not own such a beast but we know a café owner who does. So here is the coffee machine from The Offshore in Sheringham. With thanks to Lisa for allowing me access at a very busy time! (Where have all these people come from? It is not even half term yet!!!)

Many thanks to Laurie54 for hosting Mono Monday with a theme of inventions this month. This week it is 20th century inventions.
