What would make this even better is a dedicated and personalized space where you can lay out all of your coffee and espresso products.
While browsing through Pinterest, we came up with a few creative ways to build a warm and welcoming coffee bar in your own home that will make you look forward to brewing coffee on even the most dark and dreary days.
Continue reading for eight things that will make your at-home coffee bar simply irresistible.
Coffee or Espresso Machine
You can’t have a stunning coffee bar without a top-notch espresso machine. Whether you’re an entry-level or pro-barista, a good coffee or espresso machine is key for making your coffee bar come to life.
Here’s where to start if you’re not sure which espresso machine is right for you.
Coffee Grinder
Your coffee or espresso is only as good as your grinder. Whether you prefer a medium-coarse grind or a fluffy grind, here are some of the hottest grinders on the market that will make your coffee bar feel like you’re in a top-notch coffee shop.
Coffee, Espresso, Tea, Flavored Syrups and Sugar
You can’t have a coffee bar without coffee, right? Here’s where you’ll line up your favorite coffee, tea, espresso, decaf coffee, sugar, flavored syrups, honey and toppings.
Here’s some of our best-selling coffee and espresso to get you started.
Coffee Mugs, Cups and Saucers
For all the mason jars, gifted cups or mugs you bought on vacation, this is where they belong! Decorate your space with your favorites. You can purchase a coffee rack or place them neatly on a shelf above the coffee bar. We love to keep a variety of cups and saucers on hand for when we're craving iced coffee or want a simple single-shot of espresso.
Coffee and Espresso Accessories
Once you have the essentials sorted out, the key to completing your coffee bar toolset is having the required accessories for any drink requests made by yourself or your loved ones.
Something like a spouted shot glass, a frothing pitcher or a coffee leveler can make all the difference!
Add a Stylized Theme
My biggest tip for this step would be to go with a fun theme, if you love the Fall, add Autumn-themed décor, if you’re obsessed with farmhouse décor, add a rustic touch. Or maybe you just want to go with a "less is more" minimalist look! Have fun with the space, make it inviting and make it feel like you.
Coffee Bar Décor
Once you have a theme picked out, you'll need to add a few personal touches that show off your personality. This can be a personalized painting, a stack of your favorite books, flowers from your garden or even a hand-painted sign to hang over the coffee bar. Whatever your personal style is, let it show for all to see!
