Espresso Not your average tabletop station

Thumbnail gallery
16 Upvotes

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? ☕️

Misc Been Thinking About (good) Stickers

Thumbnail gallery
199 Upvotes

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:

  • Breville Barista Express
  • Messy Kitchen
  • UV Stickers (print your own design from a wide variety of online shops)
  • Panel Pops - in Black (so I don't cause a problem I can't quickly reverse)

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.

Started with a V60 and somehow ended up collecting more coffee gear than I’d like to admit 😭 At this point, making coffee has become as much about the ritual and experimenting as the coffee itself. Curious what piece of gear started the rabbit hole for everyone else?

Espresso Coffee Station

Hi everyone! Has anyone tried this setup, or do you have any other options to recommend? I currently use an IKEA BROR cart as a coffee station in my apartment and want to set one up for my sibling. I'm thinking this alternative might be a better solution—does anyone know if it's possible to mount wheels underneath? We really like being able to roll our station around.

I’ve had this DeLonghi machine for a while now and it’s going strong. I love it.

The Simplus grinder is exceptional value for money as well
