Coffee station help — current setup getting cramped, anyone go the IKEA route? [$1,000]

Current setup is starting to feel cramped on my limited countertop space, and I'm looking to build out a dedicated coffee station/coffee bar.
Current gear:
•Profitec Move
•Eureka Atom 65W
• DF64 (still deciding if I'll keep it on the station)
•Kettle + espresso accessories

Budget is around $1,000 or so depending

I mocked up a few render ideas (attached) for the direction I want to go. I'm leaning toward an IKEA cabinet setup since I don't want to spend custom cabinet money, but I still want something clean and functional.
Main goals:
More countertop/workflow space
Cleaner organization for accessories, cups, beans, etc.
Better aesthetics for the setup
Something that also looks good on camera since I'll be posting on my social media and want a clean background/workflow setup.
Has anyone here gone the IKEA route for a coffee station? If so:
What cabinets/countertop did you use?
Anything you regret or wish you did differently?
Any suggestions for maximizing workflow and storage?
Also open to ideas if you think there's a better layout than what mocked up.
