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!
Lol, I agree thanks Marie
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 so lovely, I love coffee and your cabinet makes me want to make one arrangement exactly like this. Thanks for joining The Bloggers Pit Stop

Thank you, Menaka. A place for all the coffee items just works out perfectly. Make one you will love it
I love the color of that cabinet! I could see myself cozying up in a coffee nook in my home soon. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks,Meredith. Enjoy your coffee time.
Cute idea
Thanks,Jo
This is wonderful! I hope someday to have space for this! As of right now, I barely have room for my coffee pot.
Thank you,Marietta. Just enjoy a moment anywhere with your cup
Love this! I’d love to do this. I’m a coffee girl!
Us coffe girls can enjoy a cup anywhere. Thanks for taking a look,JoJo
Love this!
Hah, hah, Deborah. Give it a try. Take a moment
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.

Thanks Mary for your comment. Just find a moment to enjoy your cup…
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.
