One of trends that isn’t going away for kitchen remodeling in Tampa is the addition of a coffee bar. People are spending more time working remotely from home and being able to create a cafe experience at home can make remote work more enjoyable and comfortable. 

Depending on the amount of space you have in your kitchen, a remodeling contractor can guide you through your options from a vintage buffet, installing new countertops and cabinets, or creating an entire cafe corner of your kitchen. However, you can start formulating your dream coffee bar with our list of essentials!

Coffee Bar Essentials 

The type of coffee you want to serve from your coffee bar will help you decide where best to place your coffee station and what essentials you need. If you’re the espresso loving type and want to create a cafe experience where you can create lattes and other drinks, you will need a different space than someone who enjoys a cup of fresh brewed coffee served black. 

Here are the most popular coffee bar essentials when kitchen remodeling in Tampa. 

 

  • Custom drawers and cabinets: Keeping everything organized is the key to a good looking coffee bar and custom cabinets to fit your sugar packets, k-cups, filters, and mugs will make your space streamlined. 
  • Extra Sink: Bar sinks are a popular addition because you can get filtered hot or cold water quickly without having to rely on a kettle or microwave heating. A small sink in your coffee station is also great for rinsing mugs before pouring coffee, or washing your cups as you use them to minimize messes. 
  • Mini Fridge: Some homeowners go the extra mile and have a mini fridge installed in their coffee station to keep creamer chilled and coffee fresh. You can also store other cold beverages for entertaining in a minifridge. 
  • Breakfast Nook: Adding in corner seating for a breakfast nook where you can take your meetings, drink your coffee, or chat with a visiting friend is a dream come true. This type of seating is perfect for smaller kitchens that cannot fit a dining table.
