Diving in history is a must have to understand how it was 100 years ago and how it is now... a bit worse. Very friendly people, nice place to learn about historical realities. A must visit if you like history.

Very good little museum. Good presentation of past and present problems with global coffee production and trade. So good to also understand how coffee is used locally

Very interesting museum. The history and also the process of making coffee is very well explained. Super friendly staff! And of course there is a tasting at the end. We absolutely recommend.

Interesting little museum and there was even an English speaking tour guide to show me around. Very interesting history and it was nice to taste the coffee in the end. (3 euro price includes museum and coffee.)
