These clever beverage hubs hold all the fixings for your cup of joe in one convenient spot. Use inspiration from these stylish and highly functional kitchen coffee stations to create your own at-home java spot. 01 of 23 DIY Coffee Station Table Jason Donnelly Set up a DIY coffee station table anywhere with a basic console table supplemented with extra storage. Mount a hanging mug rack above to hold a collection of coffee cups and scoops. Use the table's drawers, open cubbies, or shelves to hold dish towels and baskets stocked with supplies. Arrange a tray with stir sticks, cream, sugar, and other mix-ins next to the coffee maker for easy access. 02 of 23 Farmhouse Coffee Station Brie Williams Turn a blank wall in your kitchen or dining room into a simple home coffee station, such as this reclaimed design by LZ Cathcart. Place a cabinet against the wall to serve as a prep station. Store mugs, extra dishware, and other coffee and tea essentials inside the cabinet, then place your coffee maker and any beverage accoutrements you like on top. If you have guests, set out breakfast items and juice so your guests can help themselves. 03 of 23 Pantry Coffee Station Julie Soefer Set up a coffee station inside your pantry to keep beverage service outside the flow of kitchen traffic. Place your coffee maker of choice on a low shelf or countertop, making sure coffee beans, mugs, and other necessities are easily within reach. Take advantage of behind-the-door storage to free up more shelf space inside the pantry for coffee-making ingredients. 04 of 23 Coffee Station in Kitchen Brie Williams This home coffee station doubles as a wet bar that accommodates the homeowners' brewing and blending needs from dawn to well past dusk. Conveniently located next to a prep sink and below hanging shelves, this coffee station in the kitchen contains fixings for both morning and evening beverages. The setup includes a French press, stylishly arrayed gear and supplies, assorted coffee beans, specialty teas, glassware, and even bottles of beer. 05 of 23 Butler's Pantry Coffee Station Kimberly Gavin Designed for hot-beverage lovers, this butler's pantry-style coffee station is conveniently located near the dining area. The pantry boasts generous storage and serving space, plus houses a microwave. A pair of doors open wide when it's time to prepare a cup of espresso, brew tea, or percolate a pot of joe. And the doors close to conceal the coffee station during the rest of the day. 06 of 23 Built-In Coffee Station John Bessler On this coffee station, one door drops down to serve as a tray, while another pops up to supply access to the microwave. The coffee-machine niche is large enough to stow several stacks of cups. The drawers below hold coffee, filters, and other hot-beverage and breakfast supplies. 07 of 23 Coffee Station Cabinet Werner Straube This cabinet configuration maximizes a narrow wall near a cushy banquette. In addition to the main coffee-station cabinet, the unit supplies storage for wine glasses and vases, as well as drawers for additional coffee supplies and table linens. Next to the coffee maker, a wire basket holds coffee grounds, filters, and scoops at-the-ready. 08 of 23 Designated Coffee Station in Kitchen Andreas Trauttmansdorff Situating a coffee station in the kitchen but outside of the work core allows family members and guests to serve themselves without getting in the way of the chef. This coffee station is located around the corner from the main cooking space. The storage-rich cabinet's dark finish further separates the designated beverage area from the mostly white kitchen. 09 of 23 Countertop Coffee Station Werner Straube Cups and bowls purposefully align on cubbylike shelves within reach of this kitchen's coffee station. A roomy countertop provides generous surface area for readying a cup of coffee, pouring cereal, buttering toast, and plating up food. A built-in microwave and toaster complete the breakfast setup. 10 of 23 Coffee Station Near Prep Sink Richard Leo Johnson Kitchen cabinetry designed to look like a hutch does more than just stow and display kitchen items. Thanks to its distinctive design, the lower brackets create two sink-side alcoves for housing a coffeemaker and coffee-related gear. Placing the coffee station near a prep sink makes it easy to fill and clean the pot and wipe away coffee spills. 11 of 23 Stylish Kitchen Coffee Station John Granen Brightened by sunbeams that stream through a nearby window, this coffee station in the kitchen instantly attracts the attention of coffee lovers. Although the coffee station sits back in a recessed niche from the main kitchen area, the coffee station advances into view thanks to a sparkling espresso machine and simple open shelves stocked with shapely white coffee cups. The drawers below provide out-of-sight storage for other supplies. 12 of 23 Pull-Out Coffee Bar James Yochum A built-in espresso maker is the centerpiece of this home coffee station. Below, a convenient inset tray pulls out from the base cabinet to accommodate the sugar, cream, cups, and silverware. The microwave above stands ready to warm milk, cook oatmeal, or heat pastries, making this coffee bar the go-to spot at breakfast time. 13 of 23 Hidden Coffee Station Emily Minton-Redfield A cleverly designed small appliance garage, with a lift-up door and a pull-out tray, keeps this home coffee station out of view when not in use. Specialty vertical swing hinges keep the cabinet door raised and out of the way of breakfast operations that revolve around the toaster and coffeemaker. Rounding out the kitchen's cooking area, the convenient coffee station allows the chef to scramble eggs, toast bagels, and brew a pot of coffee without taking more than a few steps. 14 of 23 Home Coffee Station Ideas Werner Straube A kitchen's main work triangle consists of the cooktop, sink, and refrigerator. Coffee stations become a fourth point of utility and interest in an efficiently designed kitchen. They perform best when partnered with one of the triangle's main components, as demonstrated by this coffee station built into the cabinetry next to the fridge. 15 of 23 Coffee Maker Garage Alise O'Brien This handy appliance garage provides a stylish recess for an espresso machine. Setting the machine beneath the upper cabinets ensures there's ample counter space in front for laying out fixings and prepping coffee-filled cups. The doors swing out, slide into the cabinet, and stay tucked out of the way when the espresso machine is in use. When the doors are shut, they hide the appliance and free up the counter for other tasks. 16 of 23 Hot and Cold Beverage Station Emily Minton-Redfield Pretty trays hold supplies to frame this coffee machine and fashion an expansive beverage station that fills an underused kitchen corner. Cups, coffee grounds, sugar, and other necessities are easily within reach. The coffee station also services cold beverages thanks to built-in wine racks and an undercounter fridge that chills beer, pop, and cocktail garnishes. 17 of 23 Kitchen Coffee Station Werner Straube When not in use, this coffee station (complete with microwave) sits quietly behind closed doors. Located between the center of the kitchen and the dining area, this coffee station is easily accessible to everyone. A shallow countertop in front is deep enough to hold a cup or two, while neighboring countertops stow extra mugs. The undercounter wine fridge completes this in-kitchen beverage station. 18 of 23 Modern Home Coffee Station Gordon Beall Sleek, efficient, and ready-to-serve, a built-in coffeemaker reflects the same contemporary spirit as adjacent lacquer cabinets. Setting a coffee-making operation above or below a microwave optimizes a kitchen's vertical space and improves its overall function. Closed cabinets provide discreet storage for coffee-making supplies. 19 of 23 Convenient Coffee Station in Kitchen Greg Scheidemann Bridging the gap between fridge and oven, this cabinet puts the coffee station right in the center of cooling and warming stations. A cabinet door slides upward to uncover coffee supplies and cups. The sliding design helps it stay neatly out of the way of those brewing a pot or pouring a cup of coffee. 20 of 23 Built-In Coffee Station Hutch John Granen A built-in hutch with open counter space makes a fitting area for a coffee station in the kitchen. Ample cabinetry holds glassware and cups. A built-in coffeemaker and a freestanding espresso machine team up so a refill is always close at hand. 21 of 23 Countertop Coffee Station Niche Mark Lohman A small stretch of countertop below a built-in coffee maker is home to all the fixings to personalize a perfect cup of coffee. This arrangement allows space to set your cup down while you add cream and sugar. Even if you don't have a built-in coffee machine, you can make the most of a small space with a French press and a few coffee accessories to create a small coffee station. 22 of 23 Colorful Coffee Station Janet Mesic-Mackie Colorful cabinets set off this coffee station in the kitchen. The wide counter space holds a grinder and an espresso machine while leaving space for serving brunch. For easy access, store cups and breakfast bowls on an open shelf directly above. 23 of 23 Coffee Station with Overhead Storage James Yochum An open cabinet above this built-in espresso machine holds all the supplies for a warm beverage, including cups, saucers, spoons, and sweeteners. The coffee station is conveniently located near the refrigerator for easy access to milk and cream. Lower cabinets provide storage for extra coffee grounds and other morning must-haves.
