Hello Everyone,
I'm a long time lurker here but haven't posted before as I haven't had anything of value to add.
My wife and I are in the process of having plans drawn for our new home and my wife is having 'her' kitchen designed and planned to the finest detail. As a general rule, I tend to stay right out of the kitchen as my chef'ing skill leave a lot to be desired and my wife tends to chase me out if I go anywhere near it.
Now the exception is if I'm making coffee. This got me to thinking, perhaps in our new kitchen I should have a dedicated Coffee Station, which for me would be a section of the kitchen I could come and go from without being chased off. My gear and my mess could remain in the one position, whereas now I often find stuff being shifted and packed away. This will probably be our last home, so I may as well put some thought into the process and in doing so I thought I'd get some advice from the good people of this forum.
Ive decided to get a new Expresso Machine and I have my heart set on the Profitec Pro700 & as my old grinder gave up the ghost recently, I'm presently using a borrowed grinder, so when I get the machine I will update the grinder too and haven't decided on that either.
Ive floated the idea of a coffee station with the wife and she's asked me to decide what I need to make my coffee station.
Initially I thought I would require a small sink, near the machine, however my latest thoughts have simply been to have a point at the wall where I can plumb the machine in, the filtration will be below bench and also have drainage fixture below the bench where I can run/plumb the drip tray to. Obviously I would allow enough bench space beside the machine to place all the tools of the trade, grinder, tamper and so forth.
If you were to set up a similar space what would you include in the area?
I was planning on putting a 15amp power socket at the location to run the machine but I've since read on this forum that folk here think it's not necessary for the Profitec Pro700.
Any input you give will be greatly appreciated as I seem to be drawing a blank in ideas. No doubt after installing a machine and after all the building is finished all these brilliant ideas will come up and by then it will be too late.
Anyway, I look forward to reading your replies, assuming you haven't all gone to sleep by this stage of this thread. Thanks in advance.
