Here’s How to Build a Hidden Coffee Station

If you love a clean, uncluttered countertop, but also cherish your coffee, this hidden coffee station DIY project is tailormade for you. This concept is based around retrofitting a standard cabinet with a pull-out tray (made in simple pine) that houses all of your beverage-making essentials. The beauty of this purpose-built coffee break destination is that it can be tucked out of sight when not in use.

Here’s How

For this project, we’re creating a DIY coffee station cabinet with a pullout tray that measures 14" x 20" x 2 3/4". Depending on the configuration of your kitchen, you can use an existing cabinet or if you have space, consider installing a new ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinet.

12. Outfit your completed tray to make it the ultimate coffee station with a coffee maker, mugs – and all the essentials (like sugar and spoons).
