Making your own brewed beverages at home has taken over our social feeds and saved our wallets at the same time. But how can you set up your apartment home to achieve the same drink you get from your favorite café? Today’s blog is for you!
First things first… Knowing where you’re going to put your barista bar. For some apartment homes, there’s an obvious place – perhaps an unused nook or a corner counter. For others, you may need to get a little bit more creative. A barista bar is great use for vertical space, blank walls, or that bar cart on wheels you haven’t found use for. Just make sure it’s located near an outlet!
To have a functional barista bar, you need some machinery to help make your beverages. Depending on your preferences and what you or your guests like to drink, it may make sense to cater your barista bar towards coffee, tea, or both. Having an electric kettle and some sort of coffee/espresso machine will cover all of your bases and allow you to whip up any type of drink at your convenience.
Every barista bar needs storage. If your barista bar lives in an area of your apartment home without built-in storage, make your own! Whether that means hanging mugs from the wall, incorporating a console table or a hutch into the foundation of your barista bar, or using decorative storage options like bins or shelving to keep ingredients or other appliances.
To make your barista bar stand out from the rest, you have to incorporate special extras! Adding different types of syrups, art, and seasonal decor can give your barista bar its own personality and help it blend nicely with the rest of your apartment home. You’ll want to create your own personal flair when making café beverages for your friends and family!
With these tips, you’ll be making yourself and your loved ones their favorite café drinks in no time. We’d love to see your set-up and your creations! Make sure you post and tag us on socials.
