Centro de Ciência do Café

From the first moment of my visit to the coffee science center, we can feel an intense passion for coffee and its Portuguese roasting art, which has been passed down through generations by the Nabeiro family! In this place we are taken by the hand to travel an adventure of coffee and its industry that makes Portugal and all Portuguese people so proud and which already lives in its tradition and identity. So I recommend a mandatory visit to this unique place with greetings from Campo Maior to the World, with love!

Spending the weekend in portalegre and am very satisfied with the decision to make a 45-minute trip over here, was 100 per cent worth it.
Spend the extra five euros to do the coffee tasting. We got to spend one on one time with the extremely talented (and three time national champion) batista. He gave us a variety of different espresso drinks, from a simple espresso to a dessert drink with red velvet and sweetened condensed milk. In total, the two of us had 12 different espresso drinks. We had a great time learning more about the flavours and processes to a good coffee during this tasting.
On to the museum- it takes you through all the stages of coffee production and its history. There were many interactive exhibits, and we felt more educated about coffee (the second most consumed beverage after water) . I would definitely recommend making a trip over here for a new and fun experience.
Our only problem with this place was the lacklustre gift shop. We would have loved to purchase some cute mugs or coffee related utensils, but there really wasn't any.

Friendly staff, the visit with the tasting options is a great addition and I recommend to take approximately 1h for the regular museum plus 90min for the tasting.
Interactive museum and very friendly for children. For adults who are interested in the Delta factory it might be a little disappointing as this museum is not connected and it does not allow any visitation to their site.

We loved it here, my children had a blast learning about the coffee trade and at the end of it all you got to enjoy the best coffee.

The place is an amazing experience full of interactive installations that guide you through the history and manufacturing process of coffee. Recommend also to choose demonstration with coffee tasting while buying tickets as this was an eye-opening experience on how nuanced and at the same time flexible the coffee making process is.

One of the best museums I have been too, really interactive and interesting, it necer gets boring and you really learn too! Great for children as well, definitely recommend!!

All of the staff was super friendly! We paid extra for the coffee beverages and it was very worth it. Bemvindo was extraordinary in his explanations.

I have been in this venue and I have loved it, the staff were really friendly and proud to represent the exhibition, always willing to reveal the hidden secrets of the coffee. In despite of being from CM and knowing part of the story, I was amazed to learn new details and to be served a delicious cold brew 😋 I ended up buying a bottle to make my own cold brew and enjoy it in England. Thanks for the experience

What an amazing experience. Very interesting, well organised, wonderful installations and staff. Everything has been very well planned here. Had a truly wonderful time

Educational, excellent organisation, very interesting activities, worth to visit

I found my new dream job! Spent the day the Center for the Science of Coffee in Campo Maior. They have a coffee plant disease research center, fever dream like film about the origins of coffee, loads of coffee making machines, a roasting experience that simulates being inside of a coffee roaster, a green screen café simulator, and other fun interactive exhibits.

Amazing! The centre is both educational and fun. It is fully interactive and available in many different languages.

Nice museum a beautiful collection what have to do with coffee.
Friendly hosts, nice coffee tasting with the explain how the coffee we get is made awesome

Amazing place. It's an interactive installation telling everything about coffee and about the history of coffee in Portugal. It's very well done. The staff is very nice and in the shop you can try amazing coffee. If you have kids - it's a blast. If not, go see it anyway.

Oh my God. So awesome! Very informative and interactive. Very kind employees and guides. The coffee demonstration was not what we expected - we thought it was a sampling of various espressos. But it was actually a barista demonstration of specialty coffee drinks with sampling. Also cool, though, just be prepared to drink flavored, milk filled drinks, not pure espresso.
Certainly worth a visit with a connecting tour, if desired, with their vineyard for any wine lovers.

It's a very well done museum. Of course, you'll need to be interested in coffee to enjoy it.

Surprisingly great museum. A lot of interactive exhibits. Very informative, from how coffee is sourced to how to drink it like a professional. Also a bit of Portuguese history with coffee.
Espresso shot in the beginning was also very well made.

Coffee museum combined with old objects. The museum has 2 floors but it doesn’t take too much time to see it. Interesting place to try different varieties of Delta café. If you are nearby I would recommend it. The staff was really nice!

Lovely place and great experience

A very educational place.

The main theme is obviously the coffee. But in here one can learn a lot about the overall process around coffee plantation and management of said plantations, packaging and R&D around the coffee industry and above all its also possible to learn the history of a famous brand of coffee in Portugal "DELTA Cafés".

Overall I recommend this place for anyone looking to have a nice & learning experience. Plus its even possible to drink coffee here in the coffee shop they set up in the building.
