Make Your Own Hot Beverage Bar

/Posted by / 10

With the weather really cooling off this weekend, I decided it was time to break out the hot cocoa and marshmallows! That’s when the idea finally came to me for a hot beverage bar! Back at the beginning of the year when I made all those home goals, one of them was to create a more functional space in the dining room. Seeing as how we rarely use the dining room for it’s intended purpose, the buffet hardly ever sees a morsel of food. So what better function than to turn it into a hub for hot cocoa, coffee, and tea!

hot beverage bar

hot cocoa barI gathered a list of everything I wanted to use in the hot beverage bar. Most everything I already had on hand, but wanted a few special things to really dress it up and make it like a mini-cafe. I picked up the stacking mugs from World Market and some wooden spoons from Hobby Lobby. I wrapped the spoons with washi tape and added some small silver spoons for stirring. Those may or may not be shot glasses I’m using to hold the spoons. πŸ˜‰wooden washi tape spoonsI picked up the sealed glass containers at Walmart and added some labels with my mini-alphabet stamps and some twine. The blank wooden labels came from Joann’s.Β hot cocoa stationI pulled out my cappuccino maker and brought the coffee maker in from the kitchen. Add in some shakers of nutmeg and cinnamon, a few paper straws from Hobby Lobby, and some fun polka-dot napkins.hot beverage barNow that we have everything all together in one central location, it’s freed up a little space in the kitchen, which all of us could use! Hello counter space!hot-cocoa-barHere’s a list of everything you might want to include in your own hot beverage bar:

  • coffee maker
  • coffee
  • cappuccino maker
  • cocoa
  • marshmallows
  • chocolate chips (white & dark chocolate)
  • chocolate sprinkles
  • spoons for stirring and scooping
  • cinnamon and nutmeg shakers
  • straws
  • napkins
  • coffee mugs
  • tea
  • honey
  • cream and sugar

We still have to get our hot water from the kitchen, but maybe Santa will bring me a KeurigΒ for Christmas and then hot water will be on demand! Then I can expand the hot beverage bar even more! πŸ™‚ Ever since setting up the hot beverage bar, my little girl has asked for warm cocoa every night! Who can resist when happiness like this comes in a cup covered with chocolate sprinkles? πŸ™‚Β hot cocoa barΒ Yep, life is better is chocolate sprinkles! Happy Fall Ya’ll!!

    Alita, I so want a french press. I just think they are so cool for one, but I’d love to try a good cup of coffee made with one! And great idea about the electric kettle!! Thanks so much!

    Yum! It makes me want to swing by your house! πŸ™‚ I love the idea of having everything out and accessible.. vs putting it in a cupboard where it actually never gets put back!
