We not only stock espresso machine brands but also brands of accessories that you can use with your espresso machines.

The rise of espresso machines worldwide
The espresso machine as we know it today has only existed since the 1960s, starting with the Faema E61. It was the first pump-driven espresso machine. Before this, pressure in the group head was generated by pulling down a lever that compressed a large spring. The pressure would then be released slowly through the coffee, creating an average of 9 bars of pressure, which later became the standard for pump-driven machines.

Below is an overview of countries where various espresso machine brands originate, some of which may surprise you.

The birthplace of the espresso machine is undoubtedly Italy. Brands like Faema, Cimbali, and Bezzera have been around since World War II.
