A corner, a family cafe, satisfy your feelings of owning a romantic cafe

Less than one square meter is enough.

Today we will take a look at how to use one square meter to build a family coffee shop.

Step 1: console

First of all, you need an operating desk, which can be a desk you don't want, an old cabinet, or even a wider shelf. It is only 1.2m high, enough to put down a home coffee machine.

If you are lazy and want to simply have a cup of coffee and don't really enjoy the process of making coffee, you can choose a fully automatic coffee machine or a capsule coffee machine full of technology.

The advantage of a fully automatic coffee machine is that all you need to prepare is coffee beans and milk, and the rest can be left to the coffee machine. Send a stay time, a cup of rich Cappuccino will be out of the oven.

1. Whether it has the function of automatic cleaning circuit.

two。 Whether the material of the bean grinder is conducive to heat dissipation, poor heat dissipation will affect the taste of coffee.

Pay attention to the placement:

1. Neatness is the basis of making the whole beautiful.

two。 The coffee machine should be placed in an easy-to-use position, not too high or too low (if the console is too low, you can set up a high coffee machine alone)

3. Things that are not commonly used can be raised or lowered, and three-dimensional space should be used effectively.

Decorative Tips:

1. Ingenious use of plants for decoration can make the "coffee shop" alive.

two。 Decorating the wall with small blackboard or blackboard paint can not only record the formula for making coffee, but also become a place for family members to leave notes, beautiful and practical.
