A journey through images of the souls of MUMAC, the Coffee Machine Museum born in Binasco, on the outskirts of Milan, thanks to the brilliant intuition and passion of Gruppo Cimbali. A photographic walk from the outside of the Museum to its beating heart; from the enveloping, sinuous red walls similar to the spirals that rise from a good cup of coffee to the rooms of the exhibition route, in each of which a different historical period comes to life, with its furnishings, its materials, its symbols and - naturally - its coffee machines. Page after page, MUMAC reveals its collection that displays pieces from the heritage of the Cimbali family and Enrico Maltoni, the world's largest collector of espresso machines: hundreds of professional coffee machines that bear witness to the progress of Italian technology and design from the dawn of time to today, in a journey capable of engaging, intriguing and surprising the visitor.
