Make Space
The first step to setting up a coffee and tea station is finding a suitable place. If you have room and it’s convenient, you could set up your station directly on your kitchen counter. Or, if you don’t have sufficient counter space, try investing in an inexpensive rolling island, cart, or cabinet. Make sure that wherever you place your coffee and tea station, it is a location that is dedicated to your station without trying to relocate things around. This will make keeping it stocked and ready to go much easier.
Gather the Essentials
After determining where your coffee and tea station will go, it is best to start assembling all you’ll need to make that perfect cup. For coffee lovers, this could contain things like a coffee pot, an espresso machine, or a French press – or even all three! Tea drinkers will need a teapot, either stovetop or electric. It is also important to have a selection of coffees and teas and everything you’ll need to brew that tasty coffee or tea: mugs or teacups and a way to store them, spoons and stirrers, creamer, milk, lemon, sweeteners, etc. You can customize your coffee and tea station to your preferences depending on how you like your coffee and tea and how much assortment you think you’ll need.
Invite Creativity
While the essentials are, well, essential, don’t forget to make your coffee and tea station relaxing and lovely as long as possible. If you tend to get bored with the normal cup of coffee or tea day by day, consider including different alternatives to experiment with at home. New flavors, spices, and add-ins can all add variety and keep you returning to your home coffee and tea station for more.
Aside from pleasing your sense of taste, it is important to make your coffee and tea station visually appealing as well. Put a plant or some small décor items to give your area a relaxing vibe, or let your creativity flow and experiment with colors, textures, and other elements. It’s your room – so personalize it however you want.
Create Comfortable Seating
On top of visual elements, think about placing some comfortable seating next to your coffee and tea station as well. A window seat or chair can become a perfect hangout in the house with a throw and some decorative pillows. Otherwise, get relaxed on the floor with some oversized floor pillows or a plush rug. Whatever seating style you want, your coffee and tea station will be complete with a pleasant spot to relax and drink your favorite beverage.
Once you’ve finished setting up your home’s coffee and tea station, you’ll be ready to start using it!
