n 1976, Eric Favre, an employee of Nestlé, invented, patented and introduced the Nespresso system[3][4] to the business market in Switzerland, initially without significant success. A decade later, in part due to the efforts of Jean-Paul Gaillard who introduced the «Le Club» community,[5] the product became more successful. In 1990, Nestlé signed a contract with Turmix, which started to sell Nespresso machines in Switzerland. Thereafter, other contracts were signed with Krups, Magimix, Alessi, Philips, Siemens and De'Longhi.

The first patent application for Nespresso's process of brewing espresso from capsules containing ground coffee was filed in 1996.

An electric drip coffee maker can also be referred to as a dripolator. It normally works by admitting water from a cold water reservoir into a flexible hose in the base of the reservoir leading directly to a thin metal tube or heating chamber (usually, of aluminum), where a heating element surrounding the metal tube heats the water. The heated water moves through the machine using the thermosiphon principle. Thermally-induced pressure and the siphoning effect move the heated water through an insulated rubber or vinyl riser hose, into a spray head, and onto the ground coffee, which is contained in a brew basket mounted below the spray head. The coffee passes through a filter and drips down into the carafe.

Instant or soluble coffee was invented and patented in 1881, by Alphonse Allais, France, under patent number 141520.[2] In 1890, David Strang of Invercargill, New Zealand, under patent number 3518[3] sold under the trading name Strang's Coffee[4] citing the patented "Dry Hot-Air" process. The invention was previously attributed to Satori Kato, a Japanese scientist working in Chicago in 1901. Kato introduced the powdered substance in Buffalo, New York, at the Pan-American Exposition.[5] George Constant Louis Washington developed his own instant coffee process shortly thereafter, and first marketed it commercially (1910). The Nescafé brand, which introduced a more advanced coffee refining process, was launched in 1938.

Luigi Bezzerra and Desiderio Pavoni were 
the Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs of espresso. Milanese manufacturer and 
“maker of liquors” Luigi Bezzera had the know-how. He invented 
single-shot espresso in the early years of the 20th century while 
looking for a method of quickly brewing coffee directly into the cup. He
 made several improvements to Moriondo’s machine, introduced the 
portafilter, multiple brewheads, and many other innovations still 
associated with espresso machines today.

In the 19th century, coffee was a huge business in Europe with cafes flourishing across the continent. But coffee brewing was a slow process and, as is still the case today, customers often had to wait for their brew. Seeing an opportunity, inventors across Europe began to explore ways of using steam machines to reduce brewing time – this was, after all, the age of steam. Though there were surely innumerable patents and prototypes, the invention of the machine and the method that would lead to espresso is usually attributed to Angelo Moriondo of Turin, Italy, who was granted a patent in 1884 for “new steam machinery for the economic and instantaneous confection of coffee beverage.” The machine consisted of a large boiler, heated to 1.5 bars of pressure, that pushed water through a large bed of coffee grounds on demand, with a second boiler producing steam that would flash the bed of coffee and complete the brew. Though Moriondo’s invention was the first coffee machine to use both water and steam, it was purely a bulk brewer created for the Turin General Exposition.
