Angelo Moriondo (Turin, 6 June 1851 – Marentino, 31 May 1914) was an inventor usually credited for patenting the earliest known espresso machine, in 1884.[1] His machine used a combination of steam and boiling water to efficiently brew coffee.[2]

Espresso (/ɛˈsprɛs/ (listen)Italian: [eˈsprɛsso]) is a coffee-brewing method of Italian origin,[1] in which a small amount of nearly boiling water (about 90 °C or 190 °F) is forced under 9–10 bars (900–1,000 kPa; 130–150 psi) of pressure through finely-ground coffee beans. Espresso coffee can be made with a wide variety of coffee beans and roast degrees. Espresso is the most common way of making coffee in southern Europe, especially in ItalyFranceSpain and Portugal. It is also popular in SwitzerlandCroatiaBulgariaGreece, and in Australia.

Google celebrates the 171st birth anniversary of inventor Angelo Moriondo with an artistic doodle. Moriondo was considered as the godfather of espresso machines. He was credited for patenting the earliest known espresso machine in 1884. The doodle features a GIF of the first known expresso machine and was created by Olivia When. It was painted with coffee.
Moriondo was born on June 6, 1851, in Turin, Italy to a family of entrepreneurs. Moriondo's grandfather founded a liquor production company. Moriondo's father handled the company. Later, he himself built the popular chocolate company, “Moriondo and Gariglio” alongside his brother and cousin.
Moriondo purchased two establishments: the Grand-Hotel Ligure in the city-center Piazza Carlo Felice and the American Bar in the Galleria Nazionale of Via Roma. Coffe was popular in Italy during Morindo'stime. However, customers faced inconvenience as they had to spend time waiting for the coffee to brew.
