\u00a0It\u2019s no secret that I am a coffeeaholic. \u00a0When I wake up in the morning, making a pot of coffee is one of the first things I do. \u00a0It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s 100+ degrees outside. \u00a0I just love the taste of a hot cup of coffee. \u00a0I\u2019ve always wanted a little coffee bar set up in my kitchen and the addition of my new Ninja Coffee Bar finally made me want to put one together!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5553\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20467%20700'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"edited-2117\" width=\"467\" height=\"700\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/edited-2117.jpg 467w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/edited-2117-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/edited-2117-400x600.jpg 400w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/edited-2117.jpg\">I found a cute tray at Michaels and also got some canisters from World Market to hold coffee and sugar. \u00a0Since the Ninja Coffee Bar can make cappuccinos and lattes, I also got some coffee syrup in a few different flavors. \u00a0I framed this super cute printable that I found on Creative Market. \u00a0It comes in three different color backgrounds, which makes it so easy to fit in with whatever your color palette is. \u00a0I had a really tough time choosing between this greyish background or the chalkboard background, so I enlisted the help of my 7 year old. \u00a0He had me switch them back and forth a few times and decided the grey background worked best. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5549\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20467%20700'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"making iced coffee \/ Ninja Coffee Bar \/ addicted2diy.com\" width=\"467\" height=\"700\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/edited-2106.jpg 467w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/edited-2106-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/edited-2106-400x600.jpg 400w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/edited-2106.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>My favorite part of the entire coffee station is definitely the Ninja Coffee Bar. \u00a0We have this\u00a0Ninja Blender, which we love, so I knew the Coffee Bar would be a winner!
