The Morettino Coffee Museum was inaugurated in 2008 by Angelo Morettino, its founder and head of the most famous coffee company in Sicily and beyond. The museum displays about 600 pieces inside the company’s premises that tell about three centuries of consumption and lifestyles related to the popular aristocratic drink.
In exhibitions, antique toasters with special features, classic coffee grinders and a series of other collectibles related to coffee recovered from different parts of the world. The museum also shows the barista’s corner with dozens of espresso machines recovered from the old bars of our peninsula that mark its history from the early ’90s to the ’60s. The small coffee museum also has a library with texts in French, English, German and Spanish and a collection of paintings that have coffee as their theme and were made by naive artists.
