I love a coffee station! Nothing says ‘cozy’ or ‘winter’ like a little set up to make a steaming cup of coffee or cider or a creamy cup of cocoa.
I set up my first hot drink station a few years ago on a galvanized aluminum two tiered tray. It held hot chocolate packets, 2 mugs, and some mini marshmallows, along with a couple of snowmen.
Needing a different look & feel, I purchased this Mikasa lazy Susan from Costco and went in search of some new items to go better with my recently spruced up kitchen.
I really like a batter bowl I found at TJMaxx so searched for a canister that was similar. I use it hold hot chocolate mix from a canister rather than using packets. We often mix our own versions of hot drinks so sometimes don’t need a full packet amount. Others like a double chocolate drink. So it really makes the most sense to use the loose powder.
While we have a full coffee pot for ground coffee, our Keurig also has the option of using a coffee pod. (It’s a great coffee pot!). A canister to hold coffee pods was next on my list of things to add to the coffee station.
Sprinkles were next on my list. It is very hard to find a sprinkle shaker! I ended up using a salt shaker but had to take the lid off. Then my daughter found actual sprinkle shakers! Who knew they even made them?!
A little airtight container for mini chocolate chips, a very old Libbey snowman jar for mini marshmallows, packets of instant cider and a favorite little sign and my station was complete!
I’m going to keep it up until Spring, changing a few things to go with the season or holiday.
