Lavazza EP Maxi History
|
In Italy coffee machines are where people meet for a chat, it is a channel for interaction. Sociologist have described the espresso coffee as the first real social network tool. That is why Lavazza has a intense, passionate relationship with it's coffee machines. In 2010 the Espresso Point espresso coffee machine project is now more than twenty years old. The story begins in 1989 with the birth of Uno Per, the first single dose capsule machine based in Gattinara. In 1989 Lavazza bought the Uno Per company and re launched as Espresso Point.
The first machine was the 1x – a inexpensive, basic box made out of plastic. The first espresso point coffee machine was developed in 1991 characterised by it's warmer gold plated handles an d polished steel. It was initially called the Balconcino con Vaporizzatore which later became the Matinee. A more modern electronic version of the same machine is still available today. The next coffee machine / espresso machine in the range was designed by Maurona Zona . The machine was called the ECL – Espresso e Cappuccino Lavazza. he next version of Espresso Point Coffee Machine was the Pininfarina's Espresso Point. Pininfarina name is synonymous with Italian design – from cars, furniture, trains and coffee machines. The machine designed fifteen years is still being sold today in it's incarnated versions.
The design , sophisticated yet austere at the same time with the rivets that might have come from a cargo ship or a Meccano set gives the machine a everyday human dimension. Then 2008 came the EP 950 produced by Brasilia and designed by Maurizio Ggiordano. |
