However, how you set your coffee station up can affect how your workplace flows and feels and flows. Get it right, and it becomes a welcoming hub of energy and connection. Get it wrong, and it can feel like an afterthought.

But how do you create a winning coffee station? From choosing the right location to making it a design feature, here are essential coffee station ideas for the office to help you build a space that brings people together.
