The World of Coffee

NIEDERBUCHSITEN SWITZ. 25 OCT:  Wow, what a wonderful morning we experienced at the relatively new "Jura - World of Coffee" Interactive Exhibition.  The journey takes you through an oversized coffee machine fabrication to starting with a time tunnel of coffee machine development leading to a reflective display of 9th century coffee discovery.

 

The display continues the caffeinated journey with the European explorers first enjoying coffee.  We stepped into the 17th & 18th century and experienced the first coffee shops of Venice.  Some time was spent at a coffee trader's desk understanding the origins, trades and roasting.  The exhibition concludes with a short feature film "In Heaven - The Coffee Lovers" which brings together the world of coffee from Tokyo, Africa, Italy and of course Italy.

 

The inevitable souvenir store was well patronised by me.  Numerous purchases included coffee body butter, caffeine napkins and of course...some coffee from Jura's demonstration roasting plant.

 

If you are passing by Niederbuchsiten, can I suggest stoping by No 1 Kaffeeweltstrasse and spending a few hours immersed in the coffee's heaven.
