Create your own coffee corner

Yes, finally, I'm going to tell you how I created my perfect coffee corner at home in 5 simple steps, which I still enjoy every day.

Step 1: The perfect location

You want your coffee corner to stand out for your guests, but also not get in the way. It's also incredibly convenient if it's near a tap, since you use a lot of water when making coffee.

The perfect location is therefore the first important step in building your own coffee corner at home.

Step 2: What's your style?

What makes you tick? A retro look or a super sleek style? Decide beforehand which direction you want your coffee corner to take and how it will complement the rest of your home.

This also helps enormously when choosing your accessories and appliances. For example, will you go for a retro espresso machine or a sleek matte black La Marzocco ?

These are all things you need to consider carefully in advance to make your coffee corner shine!

Step 3: The coffee machine

The coffee machine should, of course, match the style of your coffee corner. Will you go for a piston/espresso machine or would you prefer a fully automatic? Or will you embrace the slow coffee trend and only pour your coffee by hand?

Step 4: The perfect tableware

Now you're faced with the choice of whether you'll go for traditional espresso cups or a retro look. Whatever your style, you've got plenty of options. For example, check out these cool cups from Jorian's coffee corner.

Step 5: A board with your specials

Show everyone your specialties! It's always fun to display a sign showing off the coffees you can make in your home coffee corner. Need some inspiration? See all the coffee varieties explained here.
