A little bit of history

In 1901 an Italian named Luigi Bezzera invented the first commercial espresso machine, an imposing, gorgeous, complicated affair with assorted spigots, handles and gauges, all topped with a resplendent eagle. Desiderio Pavoni bought the Bezzera patent, and along with other Italian inventors such as Teresio Arduino, soon produced steam pressure machines. These machines were capable of producing a thousand cups of espresso an hour. By the 1930’s espresso machines had spread to café’s all over Europe and to Italian restaurants in the United States. One of the advantages of this quick, concentrated brew was that it hid all manner of inferior beans; in fact cheap robusta blends made a richer crema.

Coffee culture now permeated Europe. In sidewalk café’s, fine restaurants, smoky subterranean coffeehouses, dining rooms and kitchens, Continentals enjoyed their coffee: either black or with varying amounts of milk, whipped cream, spices, sugar, or alcohol. From Vienna to Amsterdam they frequent their favorite coffeehouse to read the paper, play chess, or simply observe life over the rim of a coffee cup.

What we do

MMSI Espresso Service was one of the first companies to recognize the trend in the US market for gourmet coffees and the need to provide service for the wide range of brands and models, which were entering the market. In the early years small entrepreneurs, many of whom have left the market, sold most of the espresso equipment. Italian espresso machine manufacturers now dominate the market and are relying on a network of dealers throughout the country. MMSI Espresso Services, Inc. has been providing a wide range of services to the Gourmet Coffee Industry of Central Florida for over 12 years.

We sell new and used Italian Espresso/Cappuccino equipment to the hospitality industry as well as to individuals for personal use in their homes and offices. We service virtually all brands of coffee and tea makers, espresso/cappuccino machines, frozen drink machines and all other countertop restaurant equipment. Our extensive inventory of more than 5,000 parts enables us to perform repairs quickly, thereby accommodating the customer and preventing extensive down time and loss of income.
