Angelo Moriondo Wife: Who Was Angelo Moriondo Married To?

Angelo Moriondo was an Italian inventor credited for patenting the earliest known espresso machine, in 1884.

Moriondo’s machine used a combination of steam and boiling water to efficiently brew coffee.

Though quite popular, Moriondo never shared details about his personal life and as a result, his marital status is unknown.

Some sources, however, claim that Moriondo was married but were unable to give the name of his wife.

Moriondo presented his invention at the General Expo of Turin in 1884, 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’.”

The machine was built by a mechanic named Martina, working under the direct supervision of the inventor.

It was successively updated with a patent on 20 November 1884, Vol 34, No, 381.

The invention was then confirmed by international patent application after being registered in Paris on 23 October 1885.

In the following years, Moriondo continued to improve his invention drastically, each improvement being patented.

Moriondo never took the invention to industrial-scale production as he limited himself to the construction of a few hand-built machines, which he jealously conserved in his establishments, convinced that this was a significant advertisement for them.

Moriondo was born on 6 June 1851 and he died on 31 May 1914.
