Streamline Your Morning Routine with a Coffee Station

Cleaning & Organizing

Organizing

We can’t all agree on everything, but we can agree on this: the day hasn’t started until we’ve had our first sip of coffee. And the best days are the days when we can actually enjoy that coffee, which don’t come around often enough. Often, our morning coffee becomes an afterthought, drunk hours old and lukewarm at the office as purely a vehicle for caffeine. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Setting up a coffee station in your home can streamline your morning routine, it can make your daily cup more enjoyable, and it’s just plain fun. Here’s how to create yours.

Location, Location, Location 
Find space for your coffee station. If you have counter space, use it. Where on the counter you set it up depends on what’s important to you. Think about whether you want to be close to the refrigerator (for easy access to milk), or close to the door (if you tend to be rushing out in the morning). Use a pretty tray to hold everything.

If you don’t have extra room on your countertop, a small rolling cart or island works well.

Choose Your Coffee Maker(s) 
The best way to brew coffee is the way that makes the coffee you like best. And that’s personal. From cold brew to French press to pour over to single-serve machines, there are tons of options. We’re definitely not here to tell you which is best—hey, we’re not trying to start any coffee wars here!

How many coffee makers you want depends on your dedication to your coffee station, your preferences, your budget, and how much space you have. But if you like to make lots of different types of coffee, feel free to go with more than one option. 
&nbsp;

Keep Your Coffee Close 
If you follow <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/blogs/story/declutter-the-kitchen-in-3-steps">the BB&B Method</a> of staying organized, you know the second B stands for Bundle. Bundling is about keeping items you use together near each other. That’s kind of what this whole coffee station thing is about. If you currently keep your coffee in your pantry or another cabinet, it’s time to move it to the coffee station. We like using a canister for storage, because they can help keep your beans or grounds fresh, and also because it looks better than a rolled up bag. If you use pods, a carousel or drawer will help you keep track of what you have and will allow you to see everything, so the flavor you want will always be easily accessible.

And Your Mugs within Reach 
Mugs are the next component of the coffee station. We love to use a mug tree for storage, because it allows you to store your mugs vertically so they take up less space. It also lets you put your prized collection on display. Keep any travel mugs beside the tree so you can grab them easily in the morning.

Flavors FTW 
Sometimes we end up buying coffee out because we think we can’t make the same fun drinks we get at our favorite coffee shops at home. But, you can buy your favorite coffee flavors and syrups and keep them at home, and many of them don’t need to be refrigerated. Buy your favorites and keep them next to the coffee machine. Like cinnamon or sweeteners with your morning brew? Keep an extra container of those around as well.

Add Accessories 
Having the right accessories takes your home coffee experience from good to great really easily, so definitely stock up on your favorites and add them to the station. If you like steamed, frothy milk but are intimidated by milk frothers, don’t be. They’re inexpensive, easy to use, and seriously effective. A reusable filter for your Keurig® K-Cups is a great way to brew single-serve coffee with less waste. It also allows you to use virtually any coffee in your Keurig® machine. We highly recommend keeping one of those around. Extra filters and a coffee scoop are also must-haves.

And Extras 
You made it functional, now’s the time to make it pretty. Add some personality with a chalkboard, where you can write messages or your to-do list for the day. A few succulents (real or artificial, we won’t tell!) will give a fresh feel to the space, and decorative accessories, like a clock or a favorite tchotchke, will help make it yours.

coffee brewing methods: 7 ways to make coffee at home

Coffee has become popular almost everywhere. It is a staple of the breakfast table and a way of life for many. People are brewing it at home and in the office for a quick caffeine fix. The availability of various coffee brewing methods has made it even more accessible. These <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/kitchen/coffee-tea/single-serve-coffee-makers/10515">coffee brewing methods</a> all have their benefits. It is up to you to figure out which one fits your needs.

1. French press

The <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/kitchen/coffee-tea/french-press/15531">French press</a> is one of the best coffee-making methods for brewing coffee. It is also the method many of our ancestors used. The French press method involves brewing coffee using a standard coffee press. It uses a plunger to force the coffee grounds into the hot water below. After brewing is complete, you press the plunger to extract the coffee. 
 
The French press is a common type of press because it is easy to use and clean. The French press delivers robust coffee because the grounds directly contact the heat source. The downside to the French press is that it can create a mess. You could get coffee grounds all over your kitchen and stove. Try to keep the press where it will not be able to do this.

single-serve coffee makers

If you love coffee but hate the mess or simply want some coffee when you are in a hurry, a single-serve coffee maker could be the perfect solution. You simply fill the single-serve coffee maker with your favorite type of coffee, water, and other additives and push a button. You can choose from a wide range of single-serve coffee makers, from traditional percolators to modern high-tech machines that have touchscreens and are immune to spills.

espresso machines

The <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/kitchen/coffee-tea/espresso-machines/12054">espresso machine</a> is probably the method most people associate with coffee. It is used almost exclusively with ground coffee. An espresso machine can produce a good cup of coffee in seconds. However, like with all coffee makers, the quality of your espresso can depend on the quality of the machine you use. Make sure you get an espresso machine that is known for making great coffee. 
 
Many espresso machines are espresso grinders, too. This means they come with a built-in grinder used for grinding your beans before each use. It is important to use an espresso machine with a grinder of high quality. A poor espresso machine grinds your beans unevenly, leading to poor-quality espresso.

combination coffee makers

Combination coffee makers are a blend of a coffee pot and espresso machines. They come with a coffee pot, an espresso maker, and a grinder. The grinder is used for grinding your beans before each use. This type of coffee maker is the most versatile of all. It can produce a good cup of coffee using either ground coffee or whole beans. It can also make lattes and other types of beverages.

drip coffee makers

A drip coffee maker could be the perfect solution if you love coffee but hate the mess. It is arguably the most efficient and convenient type of coffee maker. It is very similar in concept to the single-serve coffee maker, only in a more advanced form. With a drip coffee maker, you have to place some fresh coffee in the pot, pour in the required amount of water, and wait for your coffee to be dispensed into the coffee pot. Drip coffee makers maximize flavor, provide uniform extraction of grounds, and create a professional café-quality taste at home.

coffee grinders for ground coffee

A coffee grinder is essential to making great coffee. It is used for grinding your whole beans into ground coffee, giving your beverage a deeper flavor profile. There are many types of coffee grinders, with each type having its own advantages. The burr coffee grinder is the most common type. It is the most affordable, easiest to use, and easy to find.

When it comes to coffee, your choices go beyond your preference for light, dark, or medium roast. Discovering the best brewing method is another step in becoming a true coffee connoisseur.

Cooking

Pork and Apple Breakfast Sausage Patties Recipe

1 lb ground pork 
3/4 cup diced sweet apple (no need to peel) 
2 tsp maple syrup 
1 tsp dried sage, rubbed between fingers 
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper 
3/4 tsp salt 
1/4 tsp dried thyme, rubbed between fingers 
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

A trick when making seasoned ground meat mixtures (like these patties, meatballs or meatloaf) is to cook up a tiny bit of the mixture in a skillet first to see if the seasoning is to your liking. It’s easy then to add a bit more salt or adjust the seasonings to suit your taste.
