Coffee stations are all the rage on Pinterest. Set up your own in 7 easy steps.
For most of us, making coffee is something we do every day (unless you’re lazy like me and prefer going to the local coffee shop). So it only makes sense to set up a handy coffee station to make your morning routine a little easier (and prettier). Carve out an hour in your weekend, and set up a pretty coffee station vignette.
1.
That’s a given, you need a coffee machine. Choose the one that works for you: are you a diehard espresso aficionado, a fan of convenience (hello Nespresso) or just like your coffee plain, filtered and black, there’s a coffee machine for everyone.
2.
Invest in a set of matching mugs/cups. Over the age of 25, you shouldn’t only have quirky/ironic mismatched mugs. Invest in a small set of classic cups that will last you a lifetime. I like cups with a saucer for their convenience.
3.
Even if you know how you like your coffee, your guests might have other preferences. A french press is a great addition to your coffee station because it has so many versatile uses. Plus it looks great in a coffee station Insta.
4.
Have a set of napkins handy. You never know when you’ll need them. I like using cocktail napkins with coffee as opposed to traditional dinner napkins.
5.
Invest in a sugar & creamer set. It’s handy to have and it looks great. If you’re the Nespresso type, having a small dish for your coffee pods is also a great idea.
6.
Keep small spoons in a cup or vessel. I personally like mixing vintage and new—like using a set of sterling silver spoons in a modern Tina Frey vessel.
7.
Group everything in a pretty marble tray and everything will instantly fall in place. Voilà!
