My Coffee Bar


I have a major coffee addiction. I'm sure I inherited it from my parents. They too enjoy several cups of coffee a day. We just ordered a new Keurig coffee machine from QVC and so I decided to put together a coffee bar in my kitchen.


My coffee pods are kept in the wooden box under the coffee machine. I purchased it at Bed, Bath and Beyond. The new coffee cups are from Cost Plus. They come in several sizes and you can also get them in white. I love the colors.  

My wire basket (which I already had) holds all the makings for a great cup of coffee. Cinnamon, creamer, chocolate chips and of course sugar. I used old jars and Starbucks bottles to store it all. I purchased the labels at Staples. They are the chalk board labels from the Martha Stewart collection.

I have been enjoying my morning, mid morning, afternoon, late afternoon and evening cups of coffee, now that I have everything I need in one place.

Until next time,
Karri

    1. Oh I remember apartment living. I will say I actually have a fairly small kitchen and still made it work. You may want to try or even put a cart in the dining room area that can serve as a coffee bar.

  4. Awesome idea! I don't drink coffee, but I have something similar set up for tea; I have a tray with everything I need on it out on the counter so it's easy to access. :-) Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!

    1. Thank you Jessi - A tray is a great idea, then you can move everything to the table when you have guests.
