(fine example of what we like to call ‘classic espresso’)

(una ”tazzina’ di caffè’ a (‘ventimiglia’ / ‘liguria’ / ‘italia'”))
(“tazzina”)
(italian for ‘coffee cup’)
(how to speak ‘(fat) italian…)
.
.
(‘coffee’ brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure through finely ground ‘coffee beans’))
(although some ‘anglo-american dictionaries’ simply refer to “pressed-out”, “espresso” (much like the english word “express”) conveys the senses of “just for you” and “quickly,” which can be related to the method of ‘espresso preparation’)
“esperanto!”
“on donner!’
(the words express, expres and espresso each have several meanings in ‘english’, ‘french’, and ‘italian’)
(the first meaning is to do with the idea of “expressing” (or “squeezing the ‘flavo(u)r’ from”) the ‘coffee’ using the ‘pressure’ of the ‘steam’)
(the second meaning is to do with ‘speed’ (as in a ‘train’))
(finally there is the notion of doing something “expressly” for a person)
(the first ‘espresso machines’ were made in ~1901)
(in its 1906 incarnation, it took ’45 seconds’ to make (‘1 cup of coffee’ / ‘1 at a time’ / ‘expressly’ for you’))
“define ‘cup’…’
‘alrighty then…’
(‘angelo moriondo’ (from ‘turin’) patented a steam-driven “instantaneous” ‘coffee-beverage-making device’ in ‘1884’ (#33/256))
(the device is “almost certainly the first ‘italian bar machine’ that controlled the supply of ‘steam’ + ‘water’ separately through the coffee” + ‘moriondo’ is “certainly 1 of the earliest discoverers of the ‘expresso’ [sic] machine, if not ‘the earliest'”)
(unlike ‘true espresso machines’, it ‘brewed in bulk’, not as ‘individual servings’)
(17 years later (in ‘1901’), ‘luigi bezzera’ (from ‘milan’) came up with a number of improvements to the ‘espresso machine’)
(he patented a number of these, the first of which was applied for on ’19 december 1901′)
(it was titled “innovations in the ‘machinery’ to ‘prepare’ and ‘immediately serve’ coffee beverage” (patent #153/94, 61707, granted on ‘5 june 1902’))
(in ‘1905’, the patent was bought by ‘desiderio pavoni’, who founded the ‘la pavoni company’ and began to produce the machine industrially (1 a day) in a small workshop in ‘via parini’ in ‘milan’)
(another source, the online etymology dictionary, favors the “pressed out” explanation: “coffee made under ‘steam pressure’ (1945) from ‘italian (‘caffe’) espresso’, from espresso ‘pressed out,’ past participle of ‘esprimere’, from ‘latin exprimere’ ‘press out, squeeze out’ … [, i]n reference to the ‘steam pressure’)
(‘modern espresso’ (using ‘hot water’ under ‘pressure’, as pioneered by ‘gaggia’ in the ‘1940s’, was originally called crema caffè (in english “‘cream coffee'”) as can be seen on old ‘gaggia machines’, due to the ‘crema’)
.
(this term is no longer used, though crema caffè and variants (caffè crema, café crema) find occasional use in ‘branding’)
