Make Space
The initial step to setting up a coffee and tea station is to pick a suitable place. If you have room and it’s convenient, you could set up your station right on your kitchen counter. Alternatively, if you don’t have the counter space to utilize, think about using an inexpensive rolling island, cart, or cabinet. Irrespective of where you put your coffee and tea station, ensure that it is an area you can dedicate to your station without repositioning things around. This will make keeping it stocked and ready to go much easier.
Gather the Essentials
After you’ve decided where your coffee and tea station will go, it is advisable to start obtaining everything you’ll need to craft that perfect cup. For coffee lovers, this could contain things such as a coffee pot, an espresso machine, or a French press – or most likely 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 a good beverage: mugs or teacups and a way to store them, spoons and stirrers, creamer, milk, lemon, sweeteners, and all that. It depends on how you appreciate your coffee and tea and what kind of variety you think you’ll need; you can customize your coffee and tea station to your desires.
Invite Creativity
While the essentials are, well, essential, keep in mind that your coffee and tea station should be pleasant and attractive for many years. If you tend to get bored with the usual cup of coffee or tea every day, try adding different choices to experiment with at home. New flavors, spices, and add-ins can provide variety and keep you coming back to your home coffee and tea station for more.
On top of pleasing your sense of taste, it is essential to make your coffee and tea station visually appealing as well. Insert a plant or some small décor items to give your station a fresh appearance, or let your creativity run wild and explore with colors, textures, and other elements. It’s your house, so go ahead and personalize it with whatever you like.
Create Comfortable Seating
Other than visual elements, it would be great to place some comfortable seating close to your coffee and tea station as well. A window seat or chair can become a new attraction in the house with a throw and some decorative pillows. Or, make yourself comfortable on the floor with some oversized floor pillows or a plush rug. No matter what kind of seating you like, your coffee and tea station will be complete with a comfortable place to relax and enjoy your favorite drink.
Once you’ve got everything in place, you will be ready to use your home’s coffee and tea station!
