DIY Coffee Station Cabinet

Let’s be real – we all have that one cabinet that’s a total disaster zone.

Mine was filled with mismatched mugs, half-empty coffee bags, and forgotten tea boxes.

It was time for a change.

The goal?

To create a functional and beautiful coffee station cabinet that makes mornings a breeze.

Step 1 – Clearing Out the Clutter

The first step is always the hardest, clearing out the mess.

Take everything out of the cabinet and decide what stays and what goes.

This is your chance to get rid of any old or unused items.

I decided that K-cups needed to be in a container and that the boxes needed to be tossed.

I found hot chocolate packages that expired 3 years ago!

Step 2: Deep Cleaning and Prepping

With an empty cabinet, give it a good clean.

Wipe down the shelves, and maybe even add a fresh coat of paint or liner for a clean slate.

This is also the time to install any additional shelves or hooks if needed.

Step 3: Selecting the Essentials

Now, choose your coffee station essentials.

This might include your coffee machine, a selection of coffee pods, grounds, teabags, and of course, your new coffee mugs and wooden storage bins.

Think about what you use daily and make sure there’s a designated spot for everything.

Step 4: Adjust Cabinet Shelving

I purchased a tiered rack from Amazon that would allow for more storage which meant, I needed to adjust my cabinet shelving to accommodate the new rack.

I re-adjusted the existing shelving to allow for a free standing shelf (similar to mine but better! It has more levels) in the middle of the cabinet to hold the coffee mugs.

I didn’t have another matching shelf (which I needed to avoid that big gap of space in the cabinet) so I decided to try the pop up moveable shelf.

It worked like a charm!

I got rid of the coffee bags and added the grounds and beans into these gorgeous stainless steel canisters.

Personalizing Your Coffee Station Cabinet

Choosing Your Style

This is where you get to have some fun. Select canisters that match your kitchen’s decor, or go for something bold and different.

Add labels for a touch of personalization and easy navigation.

Accessorizing for Functionality and Style

• Consider adding a small drawer organizer for sugar packets and stirrers
• hang a cute chalkboard on the inside of the cabinet door for coffee quotes or to keep track of your coffee inventory
• Consider labels. Purchased sticky labels and a chalk pen to label each container.
• Baskets are perfect for storing tea bags, scoops and other miscellaneous items.

Invest In New Coffee Mugs

Many of our mugs were almost 15 years old, chipped and pretty gross.

Coffee mugs don’t have to cost a lot, yet new ones can significantly enhance the look of your coffee station.

Plus, there’s something special in enjoying your morning coffee from a fresh mug. After all, it’s the small details that make a big difference!

A coffee station cabinet isn’t just a fancy addition to your kitchen; it’s a necessity for coffee lovers. It keeps your coffee pods, grounds, teabags, and accessories neatly organized and within easy reach.

Plus, it frees up your counter space, making your kitchen look cleaner and more inviting.

Placing your coffee maker in a tray helps give a layered look on your counter and keep things organized.

The red coffee pot has been sold out for months but here is a similar one.

This is the newest Keurig that we just added to our kitchen and I love the latte maker!
