If You're Designing a 'Coffee Nook' Into Your Home, These Are 6 Things It Absolutely Has to Have

I'm a bit scared to admit that I don't actually have a dedicated coffee nook in my flat. Regularly testing coffee machines means I don't always have the counter space to make things so personalized and streamlined. But having dreamed of a dedicated setup for so long, I have very strong feelings about the things every coffee nook should have.

Making coffee at home has become way more mainstream over the last few years, and as such, so have some coffee bar ideas. Sure, we all want a tasty cup of joe to help us wake up in the morning, but the routine is almost just as important. Smelling the freshly ground beans, practicing your latte art, and taking a moment to pause, sit, and sip before the day begins.
