Setting Up Home Coffee Station Even With A Small Kitchen Space

There’s nothing more comforting and pleasing than a daily morning coffee routine. Waking up in the morning and taking your time in the kitchen to brew yourself a fresh cup of coffee. It doesn’t get better than this.

But all too often, clutter gets in the way of an enjoyable daily routine. Setting up a functional and aesthetically pleasing coffee station could transform and elevate your daily ritual. The idea of re-creating the café experience at the comfort of your own home will surely inspire you to explore more coffee recipes or impress your guests next time you host!

No matter the size of your kitchen, here are our top 5 guides on how to spice up and streamline your coffee station at home.

1. Location, location, location

Consider placing your coffee machine in an area that is well lit to show off your setup; this could be a space where it is close to a window where it has natural lighting. You could even add a secondary lighting by adding lanterns or tea lights to accent the space.

If your kitchen counter space is limited, get creative and set up a mobile coffee station instead by using a moveable cart or trolley. The key is creating a space that is both welcoming and convenient to you.

2. Starting with the essentials

Aside from the coffee and your coffee maker, think about the other essentials you will regularly need such as sugar, creamer, coffee mugs or even syrups. The flow of the space should be arranged by the frequency of use, to make sure they are easily accessible.

Whether you are curating a chic ambiance featuring all glassware and porcelain cups, or you are going for an urban touch with steel cups, get inspired and upgrade your coffee accessories with Nespresso.

3. Add a little spice

Get creative with your home coffee station! Once you nailed down a theme that you are going for, match the style with elements that you like. You could start by thinking about the elements that you are drawn to when you visit a café. Is it a piece of art, or the handwritten coffee menu that excites you? Plants or books are always great décor pieces to liven up the space too.

4. Get organized

A beautiful coffee station doesn’t mean compromising on storage or functionality. When it comes to space, think vertically. A mug hook on the wall to hang all your favourite mugs could help to save some valuable counter space.

A vertical coffee dispenser, like the Versilo Dispenser could not only save space, but it could also help you display and organize all the coffee you have as well.

5. Sweeten up the space

Preparing a side of seasonal treats or sweets at your home coffee station helps to elevate each Festive celebration. Cookies, chocolates or even kuih-muihs are a simple touch to make your guests feel like they are in their favourite coffee shop.

There you have it! Creating a coffee station at home should be a fun DIY project; a unique space will surely make your coffee taste a little extra fancy. To get inspired, check out our wide collection of coffee accessories, ranging from coffee dispenser, cups & mugs and milk frothers.
