In early days, people used pots to make coffee or tea. The process of making tea or coffee manually consumes lot of time and doing it daily also involves some risk of getting your hands burned/bruise; an Espresso Machine reduces this risk.
The Espresso Machine was invented in 1903 and later this machine was perfected by Achiles Gaggia.
