Café obsessives can tell you there’s no greater oasis than that of the coffee barista.

The roar and steam of the espresso machine, heavenly waft of piping hot cups of joe, and overall cozy, inconspicuous vibe: these are sensations meant to be savored no matter the time or place. So why shouldn’t that place be in the sanctuary of your own home?

These personal coffee bars ideas and designs are the equivalent of the wine connoisseur’s cellar. Sporting state-of-the-art equipment, top shelf beans and blends from around the world, and all the café accoutrements the discerning soul could desire, the in-home coffee bar is a bistro apart, where your favorite seat is always saved. From vintage cart styles to full scale countertops and café seating, as well as repurposed bookshelves and pantry spaces, your coffee bar can be designed to fit your space and sensibilities, however decadent or downplayed. Just as the perfect cup of coffee needs no further embellishment, your coffee bar is yours to originate.

You’ve probably found yourself waiting in an unbearably long line at your favorite coffee spot some mornings, or desperately trying to scope out a free table for yourself and a friend, thinking “why can’t I just have my own private café?” You and your java may be inseparable, but that doesn’t mean you can’t sip in the peace and appeal of your own welcoming abode.
