The display is part of Tresors MNACTEC, a permanent exhibition space that showcases the heritage collection of the Museu Nacional de la Ciència i la Tècnica de Catalunya through a contemporary museographic approach. Its aim is to present objects from the museum's various collections using a language based on technology and emotional engagement.

The route focuses on the production and consumption of coffee. Visitors will find pieces that document the technical evolution of the appliances, from the old hand-operated coffee grinders to today's capsule machines, along with the social role that coffee houses have played and the habit of taking a coffee. It is a sensory proposal, designed for anyone who wants to understand how the utensils and customs surrounding this drink have changed.

The MNACTEC is a national museum dedicated to science and technology, based in Terrassa. The exhibition will appeal to the general public and to those interested in the history of domestic technology and consumer habits.
