Is the one thing missing in your kitchen a decent area to dedicate to your morning cup of coffee? Are you unable to participate in the adult world until you’ve had some caffeine? Then what you need is a home coffee bar.
They’re all the rage on Pinterest and Instagram but despite that, they’re actually a great idea to make a focus point in your kitchen. If you love a good cup of coffee then a home coffee bar will not only save you loads of money in the long run, as you won’t need to nip to Starbucks every day, but your kitchen will have a beautiful corner you can call your own.
Set up a special counter, get some fancy bar stools, invest in a professional espresso machine and treat yourself to some new mugs. The barista experience can be yours at last.

How to make the best home coffee bar
Set aside one of your kitchen counters, or buy a new station, to make your home coffee bar. You can use a stylish tray to hold some of your equipment and keep it neat. Shelves above the counter give you more space to store gadgets and show off your mugs.
You don’t have to set up your home coffee bar in the kitchen, either – it could look great in your dining room or lounge, too. Or, if you work from home, setting a home coffee bar up in your study or office is a great idea.
