Displays are richly authentic with costumed staff to explain the history and various methods of coffee making from the earliest Ibrik to the modern Japanese Syphon.

There charcoal headed a bed of sand. New museum celebrates Bedouin coffee culture online and in old town Dubai Coffee Museum By Dan Bolton
