• Today marks his 171st birthday
• He was born on June 6, 1851 in Turin, Italy into a family of entrepreneurs
• It was in 1884 when he patented the earliest known espress machine, making lives a whole lot easier for coffee fans in Italy
• Prior to his invention, the wait for coffee was longer than even 5 minutes
• What a star! In fact, it was awarded the Bronze Medal at the General Expo of Turin in the same year
