An espresso machine brews coffee by forcing pressurized water near boiling point through a "puck" of ground coffee and a filter in order to produce a thick, concentrated coffee called espresso.

The first machine for making espresso was built and patented in 1884 by Angelo Moriondo of Turin, Italy.

An improved design was patented on April 28, 1903, by Luigi Bezzera.

Patent no: US726793 A, which was bought by the founder of the La Pavoni company which from 1905 produced espresso machines commercially on a small scale in Milan.

Multiple machine designs have been created to produce espresso.

Several machines share some common elements, such as a grouphead and a portafilter.

An espresso machine may also have a steam wand which is used to steam and froth liquids, to include milk, for coffee drinks such as cappuccino and caffe latte.

Seattle is a seaport city on the west coast of the United States and the seat of King County, Washington.

With an estimated 684,451 residents, Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America.

In July 2013, it was the fastest-growing major city in the United States and remained in the Top 5 in May 2015 with an annual growth rate of 2.1%.

The city is situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about south of the Canada–United States border.

A major gateway for trade with Asia, Seattle is the fourth-largest port in North America in terms of container handling.

Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, which are the seeds of berries from the Coffea plant.

The genus Coffea is native to tropical Africa, and Madagascar, the Comoros, Mauritius and Réunion in the Indian Ocean.

The plant was exported from Africa to countries around the world and coffee plants are now cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the Americas, Southeast Asia, India, and Africa.

The two most commonly grown are the highly regarded arabica, and the less sophisticated but stronger and more hardy robusta.

Once ripe, coffee berries are picked, processed, and dried.

Dried coffee seeds (referred to as beans) are roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor.

Roasted beans are ground and brewed with near boiling water to produce coffee as a beverage.

A machine is a tool containing one or more parts that uses energy to perform an intended action.

Machines are usually powered by chemical, thermal, or electrical means, and are often motorized.

Historically, a power tool also required moving parts to classify as a machine.

However, the advent of electronics has led to the development of power tools without moving parts that are considered machines.

A gear or cogwheel is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, or cogs, which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque.

Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power source.

Gears almost always produce a change in torque, creating a mechanical advantage, through their gear ratio, and thus may be considered a simple machine.

The teeth on the two meshing gears all have the same shape.

Two or more meshing gears, working in a sequence, are called a gear train or a transmission.

A gear can mesh with a linear toothed part, called a rack, thereby producing translation instead of rotation.
