Espresso Book Machine

The Espresso Book Machine (EBM) was a print on demand (POD) machine created by On Demand Books. It printed, collated, covered, and bound a single book in a few minutes.

Introduced in 2007, EBM was small enough to fit in a retail bookstore or small library room, and as such was targeted at retail and library markets. The machine took a PDF file for input and prints, then made the readers selection into a paperback book.

The manufacture of the machine has been discontinued as of January 2024 due to the closure of On Demand Books.
