Visions Espresso x La Marzocco USA
In the 1970s, entrepreneur Kent Bakke bought a sandwich shop in the Pioneer Square district of Seattle, Washington. In the back of the shop was a vintage vertical boiler espresso maker. While he was not a coffee drinker, the mechanics intrigued Bakke, who began tinkering with the broken machine. About a year later, a friend suggested that if Bakke could repair these Italian machines, they should consider importing, selling and fixing espresso makers as a business.
In 1978, Bakke and a friend, John Blackwell, traveled to Italy to visit numerous espresso machine manufacturers, including a visit to the La Marzocco factory to meet Giuseppe, Bruno and Piero Bambi. The artisan scale and quality of production at La Marzocco distinguished the brand among its competitors, and Bakke established a working relationship with the company as their U.S. distributor, Visions Espresso Sales & Service.
