If you go back to the 90s, most countries had no idea about espresso, cappuccino etc. I remember my dad making an instant cappuccino in the early 90s, but it was hard to find an actual espresso maker then.

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.

Agreed. I still have a Moka pot for making espresso, but I rarely use it. Most of my brew is from a normal coffee maker (drip) - the type is Moccamaster and it's a dutch brand. Also built in the Netherlands. When I'm out, I go for cappuccinos as a treat.
