British Heart Foundation At the station Where you have your coffee or tea isn’t the whole ordeal. It all begins where you make it. Set up a mini station in the kitchen for your caffeine fix. This is where your coffee maker or espresso machine would go. Have a kettle at hand as well. On the wall Don’t hide away your mugs and jars in a cabinet. Build an open shelf right above the countertop for easy access to your coffee, tea, sugar, honey, cinnamon or cocoa powder. If you’re a stickler for matching sets, invest in see-through jars. For a bohemian touch, mix all cookie jars and sugar pots you’ve collected over the years. A breakfast counter Aside from your glasses and spoons, the shelf can also hold cookies, teacakes and biscuits. However, many people tend to use this section of their kitchen as a breakfast station as well. A toaster, a fruit basket, jars of jam and a juice maker would not seem out of place. The Woman this Month team lives on Nespresso. Our favourite Grand Cru is the Rosabaya. This fruity and balanced blend of fine, split roasted Colombian Arabicas develops a subtle acidity with typical red fruit and winey notes. You can also find the Roma flavour in our cabinet. The balance of lightly roasted South and Central American Arabias with Robusta gives it sweet and woody notes and a full, lasting taste on the palate. Our café orders outdoors, however, are less luxurious. While I and Fernanda would opt for a regular café latte, you could find Maryam sipping on a white Americano (which I’ve lately learnt to love). Tell us about your coffee experience. Know your coffee It’s personal Whenever you revamp your living space, it should translate your own style. Use collectibles or souvenirs as much as you can. Mugs, cups and saucers need not match. Every family member has his/her favourite mug; they hardly ever have anything in common. Let it be! Your home, your rules. 5 Marks & Spencer Nespresso @home Dunnes Store Dunnes Store 6
