Make Space
The initial step to setting up a coffee and tea station is to locate a suitable location. If you have room and it’s convenient, you could set up your station directly on your kitchen counter. Otherwise, if you don’t have the counter space to spare, think about utilizing an inexpensive rolling island, cart, or cabinet. Regardless of where you place your coffee and tea station, keep in mind that it is an area you can dedicate to your station without trying to relocate things around. This will make it much easier to keep it stocked and ready to go.
Gather the Essentials
Once you’ve decided where you’ll put your coffee and tea station, it’s best to begin collecting everything you’ll need to make that perfect cup. For coffee lovers, this could contain things such as a coffee pot, an espresso machine, or a French press – or perhaps all three! Tea drinkers will need a teapot, either stovetop or electric. You’ll also need a selection of coffees and teas and everything you’ll need to make that tasty beverage: mugs or teacups and a way to store them, spoons and stirrers, creamer, milk, lemon, sweeteners, etc. Contingent upon how you like your coffee and tea and how much assortment you believe you’ll need, you can customize your coffee and tea station to your preferences.
Invite Creativity
While the essentials are, well, essential, remember to make your coffee and tea station lovely and appealing as long as possible. If you tend to get bored with the same old cup of coffee or tea every day, consider including various options to experiment with at home. New flavors, spices, and add-ins may all help add variation and keep you returning to your home coffee and tea station for more.
Apart from pleasing your sense of taste, it is advisable to make your coffee and tea station visually appealing as well. To have a polished look, include a plant or some small décor items, or allow your creativity to run wild and play with colors, textures, and other elements. It’s your place – feel free to personalize it in the manner you like.
Create Comfortable Seating
Along with visual elements, try putting some comfortable seating close to your coffee and tea station as well. A window seat or chair can become your favorite spot in the house with a throw and some decorative pillows. Or else, get comfortable on the floor with some oversized floor pillows or a plush rug. Regardless of what kind of seating you prefer, your coffee and tea station will be complete with a comfortable spot to sit and sip your favorite beverages.
Once everything is in order, you will be ready to start using your home’s coffee and tea station!
