MUMAC, Industry museum in Binasco, Italy
MUMAC is an industrial museum in Binasco that displays thousands of espresso machines ranging from early models to contemporary equipment. The collection is organized chronologically across multiple exhibition spaces, showing how machine design and functionality evolved over time.
The museum was established in 2012 to mark a century of the Cimbali company's work in espresso machine manufacturing since 1901. This founding acknowledged how coffee technology became central to Italian industrial development throughout that period.
The name MUMAC reflects a passion for espresso culture and the role these machines play in Italian daily life. Visitors witness how coffee preparation has shaped local habits and traditions across generations.
The museum is located southwest of Milan and is accessible by public transport or car. Visitors should allow several hours to view the extensive collection at a comfortable pace.
The museum houses a major specialized library containing over 15,000 documents about coffee, ranking among the world's largest of its kind. This collection transforms the museum into far more than an exhibition space, functioning as a serious research center for coffee history.
