Coffee Museum in the Vaulted Cellar

Discover the Kaffeemuseum Burg in the cool, brick-vaulted basement of this restored 19th-century warehouse. Hundreds of artifacts trace coffee's journey from Ethiopian legend to Hamburg's trading heyday, including roasting machines, antique mills, filters, and recreated old-time shops. Heavy oak barrels store Hamburger Rotspon, a French red wine matured in local tradition, with tastings revealing its nuanced flavors.

Fresh Roasting and Café Upstairs

Ascend to the modern yet historic upper level where the on-site roastery produces specialty coffees daily using gentle drum roasting. Watch beans transform, then enjoy them brewed fresh in the café—espresso, lattes, or black—or grab to-go. The adjacent shop stocks 30+ varieties, regional jams, honeys, spices, teas, and chocolates from small producers.

Guided Experiences and Events

Join museum tours with roast coffee samples (Tue-Fri hourly 10am-4pm; weekends hourly), English tours weekends at 11am, or public tastings. Tea tastings occur Wednesdays 6pm, Fridays 4pm, Sundays 4:30pm. The 700+ sqm venue hosts private events for up to 150, from corporate gatherings to weddings, with custom catering and atmospheric design blending old brick with modern touches by architect Stephen Williams.

Historic Speicherstadt Setting

Located at St. Annenufer 2 in the world's largest continuous warehouse district, a UNESCO site of neo-Gothic brick architecture and canals. Once a coffee storage hub since 1896, it evokes Hamburg's maritime trade era amid fleets and towering gables. Perfect for blending culture, cuisine, and commerce in one immersive stop.
