La PAVONI
Since 1905 La Pavoni Spa has been
manufacturing machines for espresso and cappuccino coffee. From the
outset the company was involved in research and development of new
products, design, production, sale and after sales service. La Pavoni
availed itself of the cooperation of famous designers, such as Giņ
Ponti, Alberto Rosselli, Antonio Fornaroli, and Bruno Munari, all of
whom helped in creating the charm and history of the Italian products
all around the world.
La Pavoni espresso coffee machines are found today in the commercial and domestic field, in Italy and throughout the world. The machines are seen in Bars, Restaurants and Catering equipment suppliers, the main national and international coffee roasters, as well as other famous international locations. The espresso coffee machines for domestic use are sold by the most prestigious shops in the world; the lever model is shown in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
La Pavoni Spa was founded in Milan
in 1905 thanks to Desiderio Pavoni in a little workshop at Via Parini.
His first invention was patented by Luigi Bezzera, on 1st September
1902, duly registered at the Milan State office on 19th September 1903,
and gave life to the first espresso coffee machine for bar called
"Ideale". It was a vertical machine, with a boiler kept at a constant
pressure by a gas-ring which it rested on, or by means of electricity,
with side brewing groups (from 1 to 4) supported by inside hooks and
had a filter for ground coffee.
By opening a knob, at a pressure of
1,5 bar, water first and then steam passed through the ground coffee in
the filter, enabling the brewing of the espresso, which - in one minute
- was ready in the cup; the machine was also fitted with some knobs to
get hot water or steam to prepare hot drinks.
Being the first
espresso maker of it's kind to be marketed, this model spread the
fashion of drinking Italian style "espresso" coffee at the bar, in
Europe, first, and then around the whole world.
In 1948 La Pavoni manufactured its first machine with horizontal boiler. This project was conceived by Gio Ponti, Antonio Fornaroli and Alberto Rosselli, whose cooperation gave birth to model 47 called "LA CORNUTA" ("The horn") because of its brewing groups standing out from the cylindrical boiler body.
