What is a coffee station?

Before I saw my friends’ beautiful concoction, my coffee supplies were scattered all over my kitchen countertops. Trust me, with a kitchen coffee station you won’t be trying to find stirrers or creamer anymore!

So what exactly is a DIY coffee station? Well, a coffee station is essentially a dedicated place where you can store all of your coffee making supplies in one convenient area. It depends how next level you want to take your DIY coffee bar, but if you really put some effort in, your home coffee station can look and function like a professional cafe! I mean, how cool is that!?

What are the benefits of a coffee bar?

In addition to completely elevating your coffee game, there are many benefits to having an at home coffee bar.

Firstly, if you’re juggling the stressors of children, work, and all of life’s craziness, it can be challenging to put time aside for yourself… to even drink your coffee! Like I mentioned earlier, running to Starbucks or your local coffee stand is not always an option. Therefore, by having a coffee nook in your own home, you’ll hopefully be able to put some time aside for yourself. Talk about convenience!

Secondly, you will save money! Long gone are the days of spending an obscene $7 for a sub-par latte at the local coffee shop. Plus, I know that before I had a coffee station, I was constantly misplacing coffee beans, syrups, sweeteners, and all that fun stuff. Therefore, I was always having to go buy more, only to find it days later. Trust me, you won’t have to worry about this with your own coffee corner.

Thirdly, there are many benefits of simply just drinking coffee. For instance, drinking coffee can can reduce your risk for Type 2 Diabetes, improve energy levels, reaction times and can even drastically improve physical performance.

Fourthly, incorporating a coffee bar into your home decor will leave you so much more kitchen counter space!

Lastly, a coffee bar or even coffee cart is seriously so cute and totally adds to your interior design. So, let’s take your decor ideas to the next level with a coffee cabinet or coffee bar cart!
