But Boyer gave a late-Romantic reading of Napoleon suggests a man who is naggingly conscious of fulfilling a role and already arranging his place in history “Do I resemble my portrait?” he asks Marie-Louise If he notices the pigeon droppings all around Such a pitch of self-consciousness goes far deeper than vanity It’s as if Napoleon were forever trying out what manner of person he should and could potentially be who crown him with plaudits such as “our Caesar.” Nor is he alone in his ambition “I want you to say I am the most important thing in the world,” he tells her not a warrior—is somehow his superior in worldliness could hardly be more Napoleonic: “Do I look like I’m in love?” Kirby feasts on the delicious ennui of her character; even in the throes of their coupling as if wondering what she’s going to have for lunch “You are just a brute who is nothing without me,” she says noting that Marie Antoinette’s hair was shorn before her decapitation of assuming either that Scott is blind to such discrepancies or that he cares a jot No film that presents Rupert Everett as the Duke of Wellington could be accused of a craving for authenticity Scott’s business is to move his men and women around the board Few directors can rival the swagger with which he cuts from the grand overview to the telling tiny detail: from the squares formed by British infantry at Waterloo to the neat hole made by a musket ball in the corner of Napoleon’s hat Even the most expert of storytellers is defeated by the essential plotlessness of the form: one damn thing after another “Napoleon” boasts neither the shape nor the dash of “The Duellists” (1977)—Scott’s début feature a tale of revenge set in the Napoleonic era—and little of the momentum that drove “Gladiator” (2000) The imaginative zeal of that film was liberated by its fictional hero whereas Phoenix’s Napoleon must do double duty and it’s a treacherous theme for an epic: a man doing battle with himself How thrilling it was to learn that the latest film from Hirokazu Kore-eda the director of such tender family dramas as “I Wish” (2011) and “Shoplifters” (2018) Do we get to see scores of families being tenderly stomped on by Godzilla Yet there is a rumble of the apocalyptic in “Monster.” It kicks off with a towering inferno the star of “Shoplifters,” returns here as a young widow a fifth grader named Minato (Soya Kurokawa) but what those worries are is far from clear No fewer than five members of the staff rise and bow to Saori but notice how the moment is framed: she is hemmed in by the apologizers as if trapped in a crowd Although Kore-eda has a reputation for aplomb—for exploring rather than ruffling social custom—I sense real subversion in that shot the difference being that the action now revolves around Mr We don’t see things exclusively from his viewpoint—this is no “Rashomon” (1950)—but the center of narrative gravity has shifted The same thing occurs in the third movement of “Monster,” most of which is occupied by the friendship who is bullied both at home and at school but who Not that it’s a puzzle that begs to be solved What Kore-eda doles out are not revelatory surprises so much as gradual enlightenments and our attitude toward the characters is forbidden to settle or to stick so she isn’t being frosty or mean; she’s just shell-shocked invites us to have pity on this woman from whom we initially flinched but I side with the teacher who kvetches about the parents A long-ago crime, suddenly remembered A limousine driver watches her passengers transform The day Muhammad Ali punched me What is it like to be keenly intelligent but deeply alienated from simple emotions?

And so, I traveled to Binasco, a city 15 kilometers southwest of Milan, and the home of the Coffee Machine Museum (MUMAC) Through my visit to the museum (which also has an SCA-certified training academy and extensive coffee library) I was able to travel back in time to see how the espresso machine has evolved Lee este artículo en español Museo MUMAC: Descubriendo la Historia de la Máquina Espresso The iconic MUMAC in Binasco, Italy. Credit: Gisselle Guerra MUMAC is heaven for espresso geeks. Simona Colombo, Group Marketing & Communications Director, explains that it was founded by Gruppo Cimbali an Italian manufacturer of espresso machines It opened its doors in 2012 to mark the company’s centenary “The idea was to create the most comprehensive selection of the best pieces all over the world to interpret the coffee culture since the beginning of the century,” she tells me The museum is home to over 250 artifacts and also has a large historical coffee library with over 1,000 coffee-related books and more than 15,000 archives All the machines on display are from the Cimbali Collection and the Enrico Maltoni Collection which Francesca Gaffuri of Gruppo Cimbali tells me is the world’s largest collection of commercial coffee machines says that the aim was to tell the story of espresso machines in Italy through the development of different Italian brands you can experience a whole century of Italian coffee history across six different rooms You might also like How Does Pressure Affect Espresso Quality? Early espresso machines, all dating from the 1900s, including the La Pavoni Ideale. Credit: MUMAC The story of the espresso machine begins with Angelo Moriondo an entrepreneur who owned two cafés in the center of Turin and developed several machines espresso machine production didn’t begin on a large scale until the early years of the 20th century It was in 1901 that Milanese engineer Luigi Bezzera filed a patent for a new espresso machine This patent was then acquired by Desiderio Pavoni who officially launched the serial production of espresso machines in 1905 with the La Pavoni Ideale A 1905 La Pavoni Ideale. Credit: MUMAC I was able to view several of these early machines in the museum and the first thing I noticed is that they were vertical they’re a great example of the popular Art Nouveau movement of the time (known as Liberty in Italy) Espresso machines from this period often featured curved lines the heat of which could create up to 1.5 bars of pressure The water was then pumped through the coffee bed at this pressure and a cup of coffee could be ready in approximately a minute – a long time but fast enough to be remarkable at the time Because of the long brewing time, the coffee would taste burnt and leave a bitter aftertaste. Plus, due to the lack of pressure, the espresso had no crema at all Another interesting fact is that it took 14 grams of ground coffee per cup thanks to the relatively low production rates and the difficulty of working with the materials they were only found in the most renowned cafés in major European cities this meant that only those who could afford to consumed espresso The first horizontal machines weren’t introduced until after WWI. Credit: MUMAC Society struggled with social tensions and a delicate economy The vision of Italian “self-sufficiency,” which was imposed by the Fascist economic model The 1929 collapse of the New York Stock Exchange in the United States The crisis brought espresso machine production almost to a standstill the world of espresso became even more niche Only those who could afford to pay a higher price could enjoy their express dose of caffeine Yet while national consumption fell dramatically small concentrations in large urban areas saw continuing coffee sales This was thanks to the wealthy elite who refused to stop drinking this little luxury A reconstruction of a typical 1950s coffee bar, on display in MUMAC. Credit: MUMAC the first horizontal models were developed Machines were developed with the brewing groups on the same side which allowed operators to prepare and serve multiple coffees quickly and efficiently the focus was on the machine’s functionality And while the designs were clean and almost clinical they also boasted a new accessory: the cup warmer Small details like this represent an increasing attention to quality MUMAC’s Curator, Cinzia Cona, explains that carbon was used to heat the water in the espresso machine, due to the lack of energy sources at that time. Credit: Gisselle Guerra Italy was economically wounded – but this also meant the country had a fresh start a major evolution took place in the history of espresso machines a Milan barista named Achille Gaggia designed a machine with a new technological feature: the lever The barista would need to pull down the lever forcing the water through the portafilter (where the ground coffee sits) This made these new machines extremely efficient They raised the pressure of the water from the 1.5 bars of the previous machines to a full 9 bars – in line with modern standards allowing the water to reach 90ºC (194ºF) without creating any steam Water temperature could also be controlled An espresso could be made in just 30 seconds and Espresso finally had its signature foamy finish who eventually placed the technology in the coffee machine market The 1950s were also the decade in which coffee ceased to be a privilege only for a few it started to become a daily ritual in the lives of many it was now the social lubricant it is today with cafés just as popular as the ones on your local high street “I prefer the fifties,” Cinzia Cona tells me “because [coffee takes] a big step from the upper classes to everyone.” you also started to see some striking espresso machine design A 1956 La Concorso by La Pavoni. Credit: MUMAC Cinzia tells me that this next stage was the “golden era” of espresso machine production leading to increasingly successful coffee bars – and the result was visible in the espresso machine development It was at this time that espresso machines became an essential feature for most coffee shops And as manufacturers set out to meet increasing demand for quality machines we saw the release of several celebrated models La Cimbali’s Pitagora is one example of this: it was awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1962 in recognition of its stainless-steel design one of the most popular machines of the era The Faema E61, designed by Ernesto Valente in 1961. Credit: Gisselle Guerra Plastic and steel also became more commonplace – but it’s not just the aesthetics that were changing It was during this period that the volumetric pump first entered the picture instead of baristas using their own strength to create pressure through a lever a motorized pump instead provided the 9 bars of pressure that set espresso apart from other coffees La Cimbali’s Pitagora, awarded with the Compasso d’Oro in 1962.  Credit: Gisselle Guerra The last major change from this period was the movement of the espresso machine from the front counter to the back – in Europe The United States and Australia kept their machines at the front meaning that both sides of the machine had to be aesthetically appealing shaped both the design of espresso machines and the customer service experience for years to come Rodolfo Bonetto’s design for the La Cimbali M20. Credit:MUMAC The first home computers appeared in the late ‘70s, while Time Magazine crowned “The Computer” as their Person of the Year for 1982 And it’s in the ‘80s and ‘90s that electronics began affecting espresso machine design I saw espresso machines with buttons and programmable dosing for the first time Their integrated grinders enabled baristas to deliver quality beverages with less effort they also became more popular around the globe – including towards the East La Cimbali’s M39 featured buttons, allowing baristas to brew coffee with ease. Credit: Gisselle Guerra it’s clear that we’re not just experiencing the history of the espresso machine: we’re also seeing the evolution of modern societies Simona tells me that the museum is like “a tour within the cultural and the social changes of how people conceived going out and having a cup of coffee and getting together.” And personally As you go through the different rooms, it’s evident that the espresso machine evolved to meet the needs of increasingly quality-focused consumers and baristas. And this is something that we still see today, with the specialty coffee industry the late Erna Knutsen introduced the world to the term “specialty coffee.” Writing in the Tea & Coffee Trade Journal she used it to describe coffees with delicious flavours that were produced in microclimates grind size and grinder quality – these are all points regularly discussed today in the name of “quality coffee.” And espresso is no exception to this trend Find out more!
