Speicherstadtmuseum
Das Speicherstadtmuseum wurde 1995 als privat betriebene Außenstelle des Museums der Arbeit eröffnet, das zur Stiftung Historische Museen Hamburg gehört. Es ging aus der Ausstellung Speicherstadt – Baudenkmal und Arbeitsort seit 100 Jahren hervor, die im Sommer 1988 anlässlich des hundertjährigen Jubiläums der Speicherstadt erstmals gezeigt und im Sommer 1989 anlässlich des 800sten Hafengeburtstags wiederholt wurde. Damals stellte die Quartiersmannsfirma Eichholtz & Consorten dem Museum der Arbeit zwei Lagerböden in Block R am St. Annenufer 2 auf dem 3. und 4. Boden kostenlos zur Verfügung. 1995 übernahmen Eichholtz & Cons. auch das Sponsoring für das neu gegründete Speicherstadtmuseum. Seit 1996 wird das Speicherstadtmuseum von der HHLA Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG unterstützt. Seit Oktober 2011 befindet sich das Speicherstadtmuseum in Block L der Speicherstadt, Am Sandtorkai 36.
Im Zentrum der Dauerausstellung stehen die typischen Lagergüter und die Tätigkeiten der Quartiersleute, wie sich die Lagerhalter im Hamburger Hafen noch heute traditionsbewusst nennen, die Waren für Dritte – Handelshäuser oder verarbeitende Unternehmen – lagern. Anhand originaler Arbeitsgeräte und historischer Fotos, die die einzelnen Arbeitsschritte veranschaulichen, wird dargestellt, wie früher auf den Lagerböden hochwertige Importgüter wie Kaffee, Tee, Kakao, Kautschuk oder Tabak gestapelt, gewogen, bemustert und sortiert wurden. Außerdem stellt das Museum den nahezu ausgestorbenen Beruf der Ewerführer vor, die die Waren mit einer Schute – einem Lastkahn – zu den Speichern transportiert haben.

Museum dedicated to coffee set to open in Dubai
A museum celebrating coffee is set to open its doors to the public in the heart of old Dubai.
The owner hopes visitors will be enticed in by the sweet aroma of bean roasting inside.
Visitors to the Bastakiya area of Dubai will soon be lured in by the smells of Arabic, Turkish, and Ethiopian coffee brewing in one of the area's historic villas.
The building has been transformed into Coffee Museum, dedicated to the art of making the perfect cup of coffee.
Founder Khalid al Mulla is passionate about all things coffee.
He's been working in the industry for the past eight years, supplying coffee brands and brewing machines, opening cafes and consulting.
Drinking coffee is integral to Gulf culture, al Mullah explains, and is tied to the hospitality and generosity of Bedouin traditions.
The importance of it is that, we of course for over hundreds of years we have presented coffee to the guest. This is a part of our culture and tradition of course, we graciously host the guest, even if they don't have anything in their pocket to offer but at least we host the guest with coffee and dates, he says.
Three years ago al-Mulla visited the Kaffeemuseum Burg, based in Hamburg, Germany, and instantly fell in love.
He came up with the idea of creating a similar museum in his hometown, Dubai, where he could also show off his collection of antique coffee paraphernalia.
By 2013, the Dubai Arts and Culture Authority threw their support behind al-Mulla and his dream of opening the museum in Bastakiya.
It's been nine months since Al Mulla was handed the keys to the house, and since then he's worked on the project every day to turn it into something special.
In the heritage room of the Coffee Museum, he displays his personal collection of coffee grinders that he's sourced from all over the region: Yemen, Ethiopia, Egypt, Turkey and the Gulf.
These old iron-cast pestle and mortars were once used to grind coffee beans.
One of his favourite pieces is an intricately designed Ottoman-era coffee jug.
Walk further down the hall and there's even a room filled with European tools for roasting and sifting the beans.
The old method of roasting coffee using a drum can also be seen in the museum.
Al-Mulla says sourcing these items has been difficult, but he is certainly proud of his collection.
The antique items were very difficult to find. It's been four years and because these pieces weren't very important to people, they just thought it was just junk, that it was a piece of iron they wouldn't take care of and would throw, he says.
It's important to al-Mulla that the museum is interactive - visitors can smell, taste and view the traditional ways of brewing coffee in the region.
He is working alongside another coffee fanatic Abdelhameed Awad.
Awad is an Egyptian national who uses a 400-year old traditional Turkish stovetop known as the ramala to make his coffee.
He explains the methodology behind it, Originally they would make this on coals, the coals then heat the sand. The speciality of this is that the sand will wrap around the entire cup and will heat all of it. So it's better than gas, gas will just heat is from the bottom, but this will heat it from all sides.
He imparts a useful tip: heating the cup slowly releases all the oils from the coffee beans, evening out the taste and flavour.
What attracts me to the antique items is that you see the old methods of how people used to roast before and you see where they are at now, and this is something I display in the museum. From the history of roasting, grinding and presentation of the coffee up until the latest methods of roasting, grinding and making coffee, says al-Mulla.
There's also a literature room where people can read up on their coffee knowledge.
