The doodle, created on the 171st birthday of Moriondo, features a GIF of a coffee machine. The artwork by Doodler Olivia When has been painted entirely with coffee.
Moriondo was born on June 6, 1851 in Turin, Italy to a family of entrepreneurs who never stopped brewing new ideas or projects. His grandfather founded a liquor production company that was passed down to his son (Angelo’s father), who himself went on to later build the popular chocolate company, ‘Moriondo and Gariglio’.
Moriondo purchased the Grand-Hotel Ligure in the city-centre Piazza Carlo Felice and the American Bar in the Galleria Nazionale of Via Roma. It was then that he figured that making multiple cups of coffee at once would allow him to serve more customers at a faster pace, giving him an edge over his competitors.
At the General Expo of Turin in 1884, Moriondo presented his espresso machine where it was awarded the bronze medal. The patent was awarded for a period of six years on 16 May, 1884 under the title of “New steam machinery for the economic and instantaneous confection of coffee beverage, method ‘A. Moriondo’.
However, Angelo Moriondo never took the invention of his espresso machine to industrial-scale production.
The espresso machine consisted of a large boiler that pushed heated water through a bed of coffee grounds, with a second boiler producing steam that would flash the bed of coffee and complete the brew.
