Six things every home coffee space needs

1. Breville Barista Express – $799

This mid-range machine from Aussie brand Breville promises to deliver third-wave specialty coffee in your kitchen with a balance of manual and automatic processes for the home barista. The built-in grinder and steam wand cut down on the need for extra benchtop gadgets, plus it comes in a range of bold colourways to suit your coffee-nook aesthetic.

2. Chips Japan stack mug – $37

Japanese label Chips has become a fast favourite for its user-friendly design and cheerfully classic colourways that nod to the ’70 and ’80s without ever crossing over into retro pastiche. The stack mugs are space savers that’ll fit even the most petite coffee nooks, and their welcoming good looks signal it’s always time for a cuppa.

3. ROK zero jar –  $79.90 for two

This niftily designed jar keeps oxygen out with a push of the plunger lid – making it a great place to stash your coffee beans and keep them fresher for longer. The lid also comes off easily, thanks to an O-ring that releases pressure as you pull up. Added bonus: it’s handsome enough to keep on display, so your beans are always in reach.

4. Cuppi – from $350

Handmade in Melbourne from hardwood timber, Cuppi is a good-looking home for all your favourite mugs and cups – almost like a mini art installation dedicated to the joys of caffeine consumption. Prop it up on a countertop next to your coffee-making kit, or attach to the wall if your coffee station needs to make use of vertical space.

Cisco & the Sun Gula sugar bowl – $44

Designed in Perth and handcrafted in Cambodia, this ceramic sugar bowl is part of Cisco & the Sun’s Modern Essentials range. It’s available in a range of colourways, but we particularly like the natural earth finish for its reassuring texture and natural tone. Ideal for a touch of warm minimalism in any cosy coffee nook.

Marimekko Fokus tray – $120

Gathering your coffee accoutrements on a tray is a great way to delineate space and really define your coffee station, whether it’s in the kitchen or a common room. This black-and-white motif in laminated birch plywood comes from iconic Finnish design house Marimekko. It’s striking enough to make a statement, yet relaxed enough for everyday use.
