Frequently asked questions

How do you make a coffee bar in a small space?

Build up instead of out: a two-tier coffee station shelf and a mug tree free up counter space around the coffee maker.

What do you need for a coffee bar?

A spot for mugs, a cup and condiment organizer, syrups and good lighting. A milk frother turns it into a latte bar.

How do you organize coffee syrups?

Glass syrup bottles with pumps keep things neat, and a small stepped shelf lets you see every bottle.

How do you light a dark coffee corner?

Rechargeable under-cabinet LED lights attach with magnets, need no wiring and are great for renters.
