A coffee station does not need a whole counter, just a smart few square inches. With a compact brewer and a little vertical storage, you can have a tidy coffee corner even in the smallest kitchen. Here is how to set one up.

## Start with a compact brewer

A slim single-serve or compact drip maker is the anchor of a small coffee station, leaving room for everything else. Pick one under five inches wide for the tightest counters.

## Go vertical for mugs and supplies

A small shelf riser stacks mugs and stores pods or beans above the machine, turning a few inches of counter into a full station.

## Move supplies to the door

Keep filters, pods, and travel mugs in an over-the-door organizer on a nearby cabinet so the station itself stays clear and quick to use each morning.
