At Home Coffee Bar – A Step by Step Guide

This is a step-by-step guide on how to set up a coffee bar at home. If you have a small kitchen, this guide is for you!

By setting up a coffee area. You can make the perfect coffee every time. Ready? Let’s enhance your morning coffee routine

01 Pick an area for your Coffee Bar

In general, there are plenty of options for a coffee area. But, to save space, we’ll focus on taking as little space as possible. You can set up your station on a small area of your kitchen counter, or for instance, add a movable cart to your kitchen/dining area.

Here are some designer-approved movable cart options.

02 Choose Small Coffee Making Items

One way to take your morning coffee routine to another level is to take the grinding game into your own hands. No matter which type of roast you prefer, going with whole beans instead of grounds will result in better flavor and fragrance. This Nespresso Machine is not only a capsule best seller but also the best option for those with little counter space. If want the perfect cappuccino or latte macchiato, then go all in and get the Nespresso Lattissima. I love my stovetop espresso coffee, must be the Dominican in me! Below I’ve shared my favorite, this one has a glass top that allows me to see when it’s brewing.

03 Get Organized In Style

Beyond mugs, you will also want your other coffee accessories to look their best and be accessible. To make your coffee station feel more pulled together, transfer items such as sugar bags and coffee beans into canisters. Also, it will keep the items extra fresh! Don’t forget to get some syrups. If you’d like to enjoy authentic coffeehouse flavor at home then, use a splash of your favorite syrup flavor for some extra delight in your morning coffee. Then again, here are some beautiful dispensers to place them in.

04 Handy Coffee Accessories

If you like to have milk in your coffee. A frother will help make the milk extra creamy so you can enjoy a latte right at home. If you are sensitive to dairy just like me, then use almond milk or another alternative. To froth your milk you can use these mini pitchers together with your frother.

05 Get Some Lovely Mugs

It’s easy to overlook one of the most important components of your coffee ritual: your drinking vessel. Porcelain and ceramic mugs come in a variety of styles and finishes. Besides the material your mug is made of, also consider volume (most coffee cups are around 12 oz.), design, and features. Here are some of my favorites!
