Moriondo did not pursue widespread industrial production of his machine. He manufactured a small number of machines, likely for use in his own establishments. This limited the immediate impact of his invention.

Subsequent inventors, such as Luigi Bezzera and Desiderio Pavoni, built upon Moriondo's design, making significant improvements and commercializing espresso machines on a larger scale. Their work established the foundation for the modern espresso machine.

Angelo Moriondo is now widely recognized as the inventor who patented the first espresso machine. His contribution is acknowledged as a crucial starting point in the history of espresso coffee.
