MUMAC is the museum of professional espresso coffee machines created by Cimbali Group in 2012. This is a place like no other, illustrating over 100 years of the history, technology, design and Italian style of the whole sector, as well as offering training and promoting the espresso coffee culture. The Museum is home to a collection of information and knowledge revolving around the world of coffee.

Inaugurated by the Cimbali Group in 2012 to testify to the value of the company over the years and to what it owes to the local area, MUMAC can be found in Binasco, just outside Milan, within the company’s headquarters.

MUMAC tells the history of the espresso maker production sector, which has developed and evolved in close step with the history of the last 100 years, alongside changing customs, habits, technology and design.

During the ICOM General Conference, MUMAC proposes an Excursion Day devoted to the world and history of coffee and espresso.
