Coffee Station FAQs

What should be included in a coffee station?

A fully functional coffee station will include the following:

  • Coffee maker
  • Coffee beans (whole or ground)
  • Coffee grinder 
  • Coffee mugs
  • Spoons
  • Sweeteners
  • Creamer
  • Napkins
Where do you put a coffee maker in a small kitchen?

A side counter or shelf is an ideal home for a coffee maker in a small kitchen. Ideally, it should be close to your water source. Use a small bar cart if you lack adequate kitchen counter space.

How tall should a coffee bar be?

Standard bar counters are 42” high while standard kitchen counters are 36” high. Therefore, either of these heights—or somewhere in between—would be ideal for a DIY coffee station.
