Milan Expo 2015: Coffee Cluster

Curated by the Università del Caffè illy and Università Commerciale “Luigi Bocconi”, the exhibition covers one of the nine topics showcased by the Expo Clusters. This is a real journey from the sowing to the cup, subdivided into four thematic sections, which illustrate the path that transforms a coffee bean into one of the world’s most popular drinks. Information, video clips, scientific entertainers, guided tours allow visitors to enjoy a unique experience that arouses all senses.

The exhibition starts off by telling us that coffee comes from a cherry and that its supply chain is a source of income for about 25 million families in over 80 producing countries. After following the coffee bean along its routes across the oceans, the visitor is conquered by the aromas released by coffee roasting and is subsequently treated to the tasting of a coffee cup, which gives a final, concrete touch to the experience.
