Create a Coffee Nook In Your Home

February 16, 2017 By thriftytonifty

A Daily Cup of Coffee

A Daily Cup of Coffee


It’s the middle of February.  The sun is shining.  The fresh snow is sparking and it’s all being enjoyed with a fresh cup of coffee.  I just love my morning ritual of a great, hot cup of coffee enjoyed in my coffee nook to  start the day.  Over the years, my homage to the coffee started by allowing a single space on my counter for Keurig, to creating a wonderful coffee nook.  I’m excited to share with you the steps on How to Create the Perfect Coffee Nook.

 

Coffee Station

After a dedicated space on the counter was not enough, a larger space was needed. Here is a photo of the  coffee station I had in my kitchen for quite a while.  It was created by items gathered from around the house. You can read about it here, No Cost Decorating-Coffee Station.  It was a convenient location in my kitchen but I always felt there should be more.  I mean, coffee houses create such warm and cozy spaces to sit and relax. Why couldn’t I recreate that in my space?

Since then, my space has grown from a “coffee station” to a “coffee nook.”  You ask, ” What is the difference?”.  Well, let’s start with the definition of Nook: a secluded or sheltered place or part, a small often recessed section of a larger room

Attach the word  “coffee”  to that and there you have it. It’s a place to experience one’s coffee.  Ahhh… Just wonderful.

Steps to a Perfect Coffee Nook

1  Choose  some sort of table or cabinet

2.  Add your coffee maker first.  After all,  this is the most important piece!

3.  Gather your needed supplies for a great cup of coffee:  My favorite:  coffee, tea, sugar  enamel tins, mug drying rack

4.  Most importantly:  locate that special area to enjoy your cup  ” The Nook- the coffee house cozy place”

5. Spend some time enjoying the quiet. Do some reflection, give thanks, and start or end your day in quiet. Choose a time for yourself. It’s ok. We deserve it! There are Health Benefits of Quiet Time.

Enjoy your day, my friends.  It can all start with a great cup of Joe!

    Okay, I now think that everyone should have a coffee nook in their homes! Coffee is like my fifth food group so this is perfect! Thanks for sharing your ideas with us at Merry Monday this week!

    I don’t have a coffee nook but I do have a coffee station. It’s nice having everything I need to make a great cup of coffee right there in one space. Your nook looks so warm and inviting!

      You’re Alli. It is very helpful to have everything in one place.

    Sadly, I don’t do coffee BUT I could definitely see myself enjoying a tea nook instead – what a fab idea!

      Tea would work too, Kristy. Thanks for looking

    This is wonderful! I hope someday to have space for this! As of right now, I barely have room for my coffee pot.

    I definitely like your coffee nook more than the station. It is the perfect spot to sit and unwind and enjoy the best drink, picker-upper in the world. But who am I to talk I don’t have either. You know maybe next time I go to New York I should set one up after all I drink coffee all day.

    You have such a nice space by the table and window to enjoy your coffee. My coffee time in the morning is one thing I simply will not compromise! My hubby and I have a standing date every weekend morning for coffee and conversation. It’s one of my favorite times of the week.

      Oh Shirley, I love a standing date.
      So so sweet. Enjoy your coffee time

    I love this idea! I just created a little coffee station on my counter using a tray to corral my grinder, electric pot, and French press. I keep the coffee beans and packets of stevia there, too. It makes me feel elegant just to have that little area dedicated to the luxury of enjoying a good cup of coffee! Your coffee “nook” idea is wonderful.
