Set up at our headquarters in Balerna, we have created this Museum to preserve and celebrate the history, value, and significance of this precious beverage. Visiting our Museum is undoubtedly an experience of great interest. It was born from our passion and love for this magical product, with the aim of preserving and enhancing the centuries-old culture and history of coffee. Our Museum is certainly one of the most well-equipped and representative in the industry.
We opened our doors in 1989 and today we display a wide variety of objects and curiosities, from the 18th century to the present day: a true treasure trove for the attentive visitor passionate about this exotic beverage.
Through the Museum, we offer a multifaceted showcase of technologies and objects related to the world of coffee: a world that we at Torrefazione Caffè Chicco d’Oro love, care for, value, and share with a wide audience, including schools, retirees, and professionals who come to visit it.
Inside the Museum, our historical panels and displayed objects offer an overview of the evolutions undergone over the centuries, from artisanal production to industrial techniques, which are expressions of the creativity and ingenuity of those who have worked in the coffee sector and the equipment necessary to prepare this beverage.
Our Museum represents not only a journey through the history of the roasting company Caffè Chicco d’Oro, which has made its preparation in all stages, from receiving bags full of beans to packaging; a point of excellence, but also a fascinating journey through the vast universe of this beverage, rich in gifts for the soul, mind, and body.
This is the miracle of coffee with its beneficial qualities and through the tools and machines that transform it into a black and aromatic “elixir”.
