Your space. Your routine. A clear next step.

A station can fit and still be awkward to use.

The machine fits.

But can you refill the tank and remove parts without moving the whole station?

The cabinet fits.

But can its doors open while the route through the room stays usable?

Everything has a place.

But is there still a surface for making coffee and cleaning up?

Use the advice on your own room.

The public AHD articles explain the decisions. The workbook gives you a place to record your own measurements, routine, layout and buying checks, then return to the comparisons that match your needs.

  1. Map: compare possible locations and their limitations.
  2. Choose: decide what belongs at the station and which setup type suits it.
  3. Check: verify operation, access and the exact items before ordering.

Before you sign up

Is the planner free?

Yes. The planner and its five-email follow-up are free. Some AHD articles contain clearly disclosed affiliate links. AHD also offers an optional paid planning system; neither purchase is required to use the free material.

Will it tell me one perfect coffee-bar size?
