Comment from Zoe Smith
Whether you take yours as a potent shot of Italian espresso or a cream-topped Starbucks mocha sprinkled with cinnamon, coffee—the focal point of Zurich’s Johann Jacobs Coffee Museum—is undeniably one of the world’s most popular beverages.
Aiming to showcase the cultural, political and traditional impact of coffee throughout history, the museum is run by the Jacobs Foundation—a branch of the Jacobs coffee company and long time caffeine enthusiasts—and housed in an early 20th-century villa overlooking the idyllic Lake Zurich promenade.Editor’s Note: This recommendation was taken from our Zurich Things to Do blog.
