Coffee culture has evolved a lot since the 90s'. Espresso makers for home use were incredibly rare back then and still are today in most households, since they're large, expensive and difficult to use compared to the usual household coffee makers like drip filer coffee, French press, AeroPress, etc Most people who wanted espresso-like drinks at home used the Mokapot for that since it was much cheaper, smaller and easier to use.
