1. Introduction

In recent months, we have embarked on a Journey to design and configure our dream coffee bar. We wanted a space that not only reflects our love for coffee but also enhances our coffee-making experience. Our kitchen, once cluttered with coffee tools and cups, could no longer accommodate our growing collection. Thus, the decision to create a dedicated coffee station, akin to a photographer's backpack, was born.

As we step into our coffee bar, We Are greeted by an array of tools that we use daily to craft the perfect cup of coffee. These tools are strategically placed for easy access, allowing us to effortlessly reach for them whenever the need arises. The centerpiece of our coffee bar is the Linea Mini, a white beauty from Norma Zoko. This espresso machine, affectionately called "our baby," has revolutionized our coffee-making journey since we acquired it in 2020.

Sitting proudly atop the Linea Mini are our latte cups from Loveramics. These cups, available in classic brown and rose pink, add a touch of color and warmth to our predominantly white coffee setup. Nestled beside them are our espresso shot glasses from Hario, designed with a clever lip to ensure precise pouring without any spills. Just beside the machine, our knockbox, crafted from light oak wood, serves as a repository for used coffee grounds.

No coffee bar is complete without a reliable grinder, and our choice is the Niche Zero. Its compact size and white aesthetics make it not only functional but also pleasing to the eye.

The touch magnetic closure reveals three shallow drawers, designed to house stemware and utensils. To keep them organized, we utilize acrylic organizers from IKEA, lined with felt for added protection.

In the top drawer, loveramics espresso cups take center stage, accompanied by a traditional Japanese iron tea kettle and coffee spoons.
