I asked yesterday on my Instagram if you guys would like to see my coffee corner & a lot of you said yes so I wanted to come on here today & show you our super simple coffee space in our little kitchen. If you don’t know by now,I have a deep relationship with coffee. I grew up drinking coffee [mainly decaf] with my grandpa & dipping windmill cookies in it with him, also after church I would sneak a cup of coffee in the lobby. When I was 16 my first job was a barista at a local coffee shop & I was a barista until I was 19. At one point I was a barista at two coffee shops at once. I loved the job. It helped pay for my college, I loved talking to all the customers & meeting new people, I loved my coworkers, & most of all I loved the coffee. Coffee is comforting to me, & my motto in life is “No talkee before Coffee” in the morning. Mr. LMB brings me coffee in bed mostly every morning [I know, I don’t deserve it.] & getting coffee with him is one of my favorite past times. In fact, our first ever date when we were 16 & 17 was at a coffee shop where he told me ” I can see you lasting a long time in my life.”. I’ll never forget that date. He would also come and visit me at my coffee shop almost everyday before he left for bootcamp my senior year. He even has a jacket to this day with a coffee sticker on the inside pocket of it that I put there while we were dating. Holy crap, coffee is about to make me cry. haha Seriously guys.. it holds a special place in my heart. One of the most recent things about coffee in my life that I’ll share here is when my grandpa was dying last month. One of the last things he kept asking for was a cup of coffee. Coffee was in his daily routine & when you would visit him coffee was always on. I’ll never forget him asking for that cup of coffee & I think I’ll always think of him while making coffee in our home. Here is our little kitchen coffee station…
Our coffee station is quite simple at the moment. There is our Keurig [looking for a new coffee brewer so leave your suggestions below!] & our french press from Marshalls which we typical use to make coffee. I love the way french press coffee tastes & just the way it really brings out the full flavor & richness of coffee. The coffee cup tree is from World Market along with the little log. The cups are from H&M & some from Marshalls. The cow creamer is a gift from my dad which I love dearly. & the coffee sign is from Marshalls as well. Ok, I’m obsessed with Marshalls & that’s pretty clear as I write this haha.The wood crate is an antique find, I seriously love how this thing keeps me organized! You know how I am always switching things up in our house, well here is two ways I’ve had this space lately. I switched it up this weekend so I thought I would show you both…
The before…
& the after…
On the antique wooden crate I have an antique scale, a recipe box from Anthropologie [rifle paper co.] & two wooden cutting boards that help hold everything up on the crate that I believe are from Target. The canisters are a find from Marhalls along with creamer cup that I stick a faux succulent in when I’m not using it. Don’t ask. The glass canister is from Marshalls as well that I previously kept my tea & coffee together in. The measuring cups are a find at Anthro & in the little cubbies there is some shakers filled with yummies like cinnamon & cocoa, some measuring spoons from World Market, & some mini coffee syrups from Starbucks to garnish coffee with.
Just a quick rainy Sunday afternoon photo shoot of our little coffee corner in our kitchen. I love this little cozy space & it’s always changing so you know I’ll be updating you on the changes in the future. You can also follow this little corner on Instagram because I’m always sharing my coffee adventures on there under the hashtag #LMBlovesCoffee. Okay. Now here is the serious business… I’m not happy with our Keurig & I’m not always in the mood to make french press coffee. So, what is your FAVORITE coffee maker? I’m ready to kick that single serve keurig to the curb & ready for something new so leave your suggestions & reviews in the comments below, find me on Facebook, & chat with me on Instagram.

we have a Breville thr grinds and brews. It is kind or pricy, but it has a thermal carafe, and you have the option to brew a few different sizes of single cups or the 12 cup carafe. It also allows you to choose the strength of the brew. My only complaint is that the grinder is loud.
I love those canisters and how organize this kitchen station is. Wonderful!
Coffee is very important for me and have to have special place in the kitchen. This is really lovely setting and I really like it.
Love your coffee station! I just moved and I’m looking to do something similar in my new place. I have a Hamilton Beach Scoop coffee maker. It can make a 8 oz or 12 oz cup of coffee. It’s so simple to use!
When I was little My great grandma would gives us coffee with lots of milk and sugar we felt so big and naughty so fun, In my family there’s always time for a chat and coffee with company and family!
Having lived in Italy for three years, my coffee maker of choice is a Bialetti stove top espresso maker. There is something so great about how old fashioned it is but it makes a great cup every time. We did just get a Nespresso machine though (UK equivalent to Keurig I think) which is so fast, and does make nice coffee, but I am genuinely a bit sad that we won’t be freshly grinding our own beans and using the stovetop anymore! I love the ritual of it, but the speed and simplicity of the machine (which also heats and froths milk perfectly!) is kind of winning over in my busy life! :-s
why are you getting rid of the Keurig? I love mine.
love your little corner, not sure why it took 21 photos to show us though. it took the post forever to load with that many photos.
A little something called an aeropress. It will give you the smoothest, best tasting coffee ever. It kind of looks like a french press, and only makes a single serving size, but it is SO WORTH IT!
Sorry Liz, I Love my kerig but we upgraded to the newer one but I love your blog and you inspired me to get out of my workshop and start a blog, not as easy, I already had a different host and I’m still working on my store website, lol, but you are an inspiration and I come to your blog when Im in a funk. Such wisdom from such a young woman, you must have an old soul, thank you for just being you.
Stay Colorful!!
The simplicity of this little corner is amazing! It features everything you would need, but also has a beautiful array of rustic beauty. It would definitely put a smile on my face every morning 🙂
We recently replaced our old coffee maker with a combo from Hamilton beach. It can brew a 12 cup pot as well as mane a single cup with either a k cup or a scoop of your own grounds. We love it!
Favorite way to make coffee? Depends on the day! We have at least 4 different methods/machines because….never too much coffee, right? I am a big fan of the french press, but when I only want to make a single cup, I love our V60 dripper. Super easy to clean, fits over any coffee mug, and is fast for just one cup. You should definitely check it out! Thanks for sharing your little coffee corner today.
Hi Liz!
i love your coffee station! my husband and I visit a different coffee shop every weekend. We love supporting small and local coffee shops. Whenever we are traveling, we like to visit as many coffee shops as we can (sometimes 3 in one day!). Needless to say, we are pretty obsessed. We recently invested in an espresso machine, the Rocket R58 and we love it! we use it everyday and we love trying different coffee beans. My favorites are Stumptown and Panthers coffee. I cant wait to see what new machine you get next.
it would make me so happy if you check out my instagram: mystylelatte
xo,Emily
P.S. i love your shih-tzus , i have one too and a poodle! 😀
I have searched your blog and cannot find any info about your farmhouse sink, Would love to know the maker and where you found it. Many thanks!
Hi! I’m pinning this little nook of yours for when I finish remodeling our kitchen this summer. We have a Bonavita. LOVE it! Brews quickly, perfect strength, and keeps the coffee hot until lunch (if it lasts that long)!
haha I know I overuse photos all the time! Sorry about that, but it’s the way I do things around here. I just can’t stop no matter what. Hope you liked the post anyways & about the Keurig, I think ours is on it’s way out because it’s just not working properly or brewing our coffee the way it used to. Maybe a new one would do the trick? We will see! xx
Sounds wonderful! I will be looking into that! Thank you!!! xx
Wow Diana Thank you so so much!!! That means a lot. I needed to hear that today. This is my happy place for sure & to hear that someone likes coming here makes my day so much brighter! Thank you!!!! & maybe that’s my problem I think our Keurig might be broken or something it’s just not brewing coffee like it used to so maybe a new one would do the trick.. Thank you!!!! xx
Thank you so so much! I love this little space too, so happy to hear your sweet comment about it! xx
So good to hear your review.. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will be looking into that one. Adding it to my list. Thank you again!xx
Love your coffee corner and your endearing coffee tales. Over 2 decades we have owned a MrCoffee, a Krups and a Cuisanart. We ended up going back to a high end MrCoffee and start each day with freshly ground whole beans. Love our MrCoffee carafe! also just purchased the new keurig for the versatility and options for the family throughout the day and we love it! I too just set up a coffee bar with both makers! So happy with them and the coffee bar!
I love our electric percolator!! It makes great coffee & has sort of an old school feel to it, especially compared to a Keurig but I do have to say that it’s nothing compared to a French Press! I love both ways though! We got our percolator on Amazon from Farberware.
BTW your blog is my favorite. It’s the only one I can follow because your style is just so in tune with mine & you’ve provided me with so much inspiration! Everything you do is functional and almost always affordable (Marshalls!!). Basically, to summarize, your blog is great and you are great.
My husband and I just had to get a new coffee maker, and we ended up getting the Black & Decker Mill & Brew. We actually picked it out because it was on Cartwheel for 30% off at Target, and there weren’t any bad reviews online. It is programmable and will take both whole beans and ground in the reusable filter, which is nice; I would say though that it’s best to have a garbage disposal with this coffee maker because the easiest way to get the grounds out of the basket is to rinse it out in the sink.
What makes the task even more difficult is that a majority of the ‘businesses’ out there are sheer scams designed to rip off gullible customers looking to make money online.
The name crystal finds it origin in the Greek word krystallos.
There are very many earring designs that are popular at the moment but vintage
designs seem to be what people are looking for and you
can find new earrings that have been crafted in a vintage style or you can search local markets, charity shops and online
auction sites for genuine vintage pieces and some of these are very reasonably priced and
you know if you wear these pieces that you are not going to
see anyone else wearing the same designs and
they will look unique and original.
