Today is the “Top Organizing Bloggers” Organized Kitchen Tour. Each of us will be sharing an organized area in our kitchen, so don’t forget to click on other bloggers links at the end of this post. You will see some awesomeness today, so lets get started!
Welcome to my kitchen. Are you a coffee lover? I happen to love coffee & spent a little too much time & money at Starbucks, so I decided it was time to invest in a quality coffee/espresso machine & start making my own at home. Once I got my machine, I set up a “coffee station” in my kitchen & you can do the same! Today, I’m going to show you how you can organize your very own Coffee Station in your kitchen.
DESIGNATE A SPACE: Find a spot in your kitchen, either on your countertop or on a stand or hutch that you can use for your “Coffee Station”.
PLACE YOUR COFFEE POT/MACHINE IN YOUR SPACE: You don’t need an expensive coffee machine. Anything will work for this project. You can use either a coffee pot, Kerug, or coffee machine (whatever you prefer). I have a Jura coffee machine. The taste is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! It’s not for everyone and it was very expensive. But I love it and it will last for many years. My family agrees. My daughter said to me, “this is my favorite thing you have ever purchased”.
PRINT OUT RECIPES: To go with my coffee machine, I created “Starbucks” recipe cards. I found the recipes here. Just click on a recipe and download the 5×7 recipe card. I printed them on kraft paper card stock & trimmed them down. Then I laminated & hole punched them. Finally, I clipped them together & tied a Starbucks ribbon on the clip. I found the ribbon here. They were easy to make.
I hung the recipes on a Command hook and attached it to my coffee machine.
GATHER YOUR CONDIMENTS: Next, you need to find something to keep your sugar, cream, and honey in. I found this adorable Pottery Barn coffee condiment set on Ebay…
… and to top off those lattes & cappuccinos, you need some cinnamon & cocoa shakers. I found these at TJ Maxx.
ORGANIZE YOUR COFFEE MUGS: I keep my coffee & tea mugs on a Fiestaware bread plate. Any type of plate or tray will work just fine.
JAR OF STIR SPOONS: One of the things I find convenient is keeping a jar with stir spoons near my coffee machine. It’s so handy. The spoons are from Pottery Barn & the jar is from TJ Maxx.
SYRUPS & SAUCES: Now its time to stock up your “coffee station” with yumminess. I ordered all of my coffee syrups and sauces from Starbucks.com. I keep them on a tray (easy to move if I need to use the counter). You can also find (less expensive) coffee syrups at World Market.
COFFEE: My machine stores my coffee beans, but if yours doesn’t, you can keep your grounds, beans, or k-cups in a large (sealable) jar at your coffee station. You can use something similar to what I store my flour and sugar in.
That’s it! It’s easy and the rewards are fabulous. Now pin this post and get started organizing! I hope I’ve inspired you today!

Your station is amazing! I need a hot cocoa one just like that.
Um, I’ll be right over for a latte. Looks amazing!

save me a seat, Becky.
This is beautiful! I especially love the idea of printing out the recipes and keeping them nearby!
Stealing that one! Blessings on this tour– 😉
Love, me
Love this post! I have limited counter space in my apartment, so I have a TINY coffee station with my Keurig and pods. I love it tho! It’s nice having it all in one area.
Thanks for sharing! We just finished remodeling our kitchen and have the perfect area to setup a small coffee station! I’m so excited to look for some of the items you used on your coffee station! I already have the Fiestaware bread tray and think I could find some more pieces to match for my spoons and accessories.
This is the best set up I have ever seen. LOVE the Starbucks recipe cards.
Wow, that’s BEAUTIFUL!! Really cool to see that Starbucks has recipes on their website, I had no idea! Picture perfect as always Toni. I can’t wait to have my forever home and copy your entire home 🙂
This coffee station came out great! I don’t drink coffee but my husband does. Maybe I’ll put something like this together for him! =)
Looks lovely! Where did you get the giant labels for the flour & sugar container? Thanks!
Staples. Martha Stewart line.
WOW. WOW. WOW!!!! Can I come over?? Loving you whole set up! Thanks for sharing where you got the recipes! How awesome. 🙂
Omg! Gorgeous coffee station!!!!! I am into the Starbucks mocha bottle’s and pay about 200.00 a month at Costco for them. I need something like this! Any ideas in how I can a range my mocha bottles in a pretty way?
LOVE it! Does ir espresso machine also make regular drip coffee? Were u able to find a recipe for frappocino’s? I have looked everywhere!
It makes it all. No I couldn’t find the frappe either.
I love the Starbucks recipe cards. I see the download for the recipe, where did you find the Starbucks ricipe front page and how did yu put it on ?…not so tech savvy 😉
I love your coffee station & would like to do the same thing with the Starbucks recipe cards for my sister-in-law, but every time I click on the link I can’t seem to find the recipes. Are they still posting them on their website? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank so much!
Good morning, I love your blog, I go almost everyday to get inspired, I have tried to download the starbucks recepes without luck, i can not find the link, could you assist me please, thanks in advance, and than you for great posts!
