Finally got my bench and I’m loving the dedicated bar setup. 😁
Espresso Machine: LM Linea Micra
Grinder: Niche Zero
Bench: Ikea Knoxhult
Accessories:
Scale: Acaia Lunar
Knockbox/tamp mat: La Marzocco
Tamper/dosing ring/WDT: MW3-bomber
Coffee Canister: Airscape
Kettle: generic temp-controlled
OK, I know this isn’t the most obvious place for a coffee station, but mine lives inside a kitchen cupboard! ☕️
Here’s my setup:
The gear:
Espresso machine: Lelit Elizabeth V3
Grinder: Timemore Sculptor 078S
Portafilter: Lelit original bottomless (naked) portafilter
Scales: Subminimal Subscale for weighing beans and Timemore Black Mirror Nano for weighing espresso shots
Tampers: A couple of different ones
Bean storage: Airscape airtight containers
I’m also a huge fan of Loveramics ceramic and glass coffee cups.
The one downside?
Heat. The espresso machine warms up the shelves above it, where I keep mostly nuts, cereals, oils, and other pantry staples. Not exactly ideal for their shelf life.
So I always have to wait for the machine to cool down before closing the cupboard door.
Other than that, I think it’s a pretty great spot for a coffee station!
What do you guys think? ☕️
This is a first attempt, its' more about testing the concept of adding stickers to embellish a machine, instead of a finished look. I'll likely try a blue or pink toile design on white panels next.
They're scratch resistant stickers that only transfer the printed ink design onto the surface, leaving no backing material or border behind. I had them made by a print shop for about $4 for a 12x12" sheet - enough to cover the front. I was going for a light woodcut style - this looks much heavier than planned.
The stickers are extremely difficult to remove, so I put them on removable cover panels instead of risking ruining the surface of my machine - plus I wanted the black background.
What's shown:
I moved in with my partner and now have a whole room to use as my dream coffee/ tea bar!
Just waiting on led back lighting for the shelves.
Let me know what I'm missing!

I wanted to share my coffee cart & home espresso set up. Looking to vinyl wrap La Spaziale side panels white to match the Anfim Luna grinder. Any tips and must have accessories for La Spaziale? I find third party accessories for 53mm is difficult.
I mostly drink pour over, but am obsessed with quirky coffee methods. Got a cafelat robot to complete my collection. I also have a French press, a Cezve, a Vietnamese phin and a South Indian coffee filter.
Finalizando meu cantinho de coados! Talvez tenga exagerado um pouco, mas estou feliz! Meus métodos preferidos atualmente são o Orea 01 e Orea Z1! E moedor uso sempre o Comandante C60.
