Vintage Espresso & Coffee Posters

Vintage Espresso and Coffee Posters for espresso, mocha, latte, cappuccino, instant, and other coffee drinks. Espresso was invented in 1903 in Italy by Luigi Bezzara, who was looking for a faster way to brew coffee (the term "espresso" means "fast" in Italian). That is why you will find no espresso posters from before that date. As it turned out, espresso turned out to not only be a faster, but also a better way to brew coffee, avoiding the bitterness resulting from previous brewing methods. The steam pressure could also be used to heat and froth milk, for creating lattes, cappucinnos, and other coffee drinks. (Return to Top.)
