How To Create A Coffee Station
If you are a coffee lover, you probably enjoy a good cup of java at home or anywhere you choose for that matter. You can create your own unique coffee station right in your own kitchen using your everyday coffee making accessories. Some of which you probably have on hand.
The Counter Coffee Station
If you don’t have the extra space for a cart or side table you can create a space right on your kitchen counter.
Take something like a tray or cutting board to put all your basics (sugar, sweeteners, etc.) together. Place it next to your coffee pot. If your counter space has upper cabinets above the coffee pot, this is a way to get creative. Try removing the cabinet doors. This will give the illusion of more space, and will serve as a place to showcase your coffee mugs. Furthermore, after removing the cabinet doors, do away with the middle shelf and hang coffee themed art to complete the look.

Carts and Side Table Stations
If you have enough space for a cart or side table, this will free up your counter space and make a charming coffee area. It doesn’t have to be very wide, just big enough to serve its purpose. Having a side table also makes it fantastic when entertaining, and guests can get their beverages in a separate area away from the kitchen work area.

Make It Personal
Once you have your side table or designated serving area, display your coffee essentials in jars or canisters that reflect your personality.
This two-tier table top server is a fabulous way to display coffee cups and additions like sugar, sweeteners, extra flavorings, and napkins without taking up extra square footage.
A vintage inspired dish caddy is a great space saver, display item too.
Consider reinventing unique salt and pepper shakers for sugars and powdered flavorings. Adding small inexpensive items like this is a great way to allow your decorating personality to shine.
Give a Utensil Caddy new life by using it as a small trash can. Nothing hinders a perfectly staged presentation like clutter.
Finish off the look by placing your coffee pot on a tray or cutting board. Not only does the tray add a layer of visual interest to the space, it protects your counter top or cart if there is an accidental leak.
