Coffee Museum in Klentnice
one of the largest collections of coffee machines, roasters, and grinders in Europe
Café Fara was founded in the south of Moravia in the village of Klentnice in 2009 out of love for Pálava, coffee, and wine. On April 11, 2019, new spaces of the coffee museum were opened. The unique collection consists of around 500 exhibits - coffee machines, roasters, and coffee grinders. It will continue to expand. A rare piece is the columnar copper coffee maker PARIS EXPRES from 1930 or the charcoal machine LA SAN MARCO, LA PAVONI - a gas coffee maker from the 1930s. The columnar machine Arom with its own storage for brewed coffee, which guests could help themselves to in large operations, is also unique. A rarity is also a grinder made by a soldier during World War I from a brass cartridge with a dedication for his dear one.
The architect of Café Fara and the Coffee Museum is Marek Jan Štěpán, who said about the museum: "The house in which the museum is located is a completely ordinary rural house with its modest story. And that is its beauty, in simplicity, ordinariness, and everydayness. It is exactly in those things that we are currently losing in abundance. Mr. Pavlince's grandmother lived here with her family, and traces of their life are still here, in the painting, in the laying of bricks, in the arrangement of individual rooms and windows. Surely there are many such grandmothers, families, and lives, but this house was lucky. We reconstructed it so that it wouldn't be noticeable. In fact, we just dusted it off, sometimes uncovered its essential nature (see decorstructuralism). And that beautifully blends with the new use - coffee makers and other things for coffee preparation are exhibited here (but rather could be said: are residing here). They are veterans with their own stories that whisper among themselves. In complete silence, you can even feel that whisper. Here, two loves of the Džiuban family intertwine - love for coffee and for Pálava. Subconsciously or consciously, they built here not only a coffee museum but also an inspirational open-air museum of life in Pálava."
