Millennials and Generation Z are swapping bar carts for coffee carts as a health-conscious alternative.
While wine racks and bar corners have been commonplace in private homes for decades, young Australians are now preparing their own morning brew.
Images of chic designs bombarded social media and Bunnings Warehouse shared a TikTok about how easy it is to build a bar cart yourself.
Some might say that a coffee cart is the latest sign of age.
“Home coffee stations are the new bar carts… This coffee cart is the perfect way to make your own espresso and brings a coffee house atmosphere to the comfort of your own home,” the home improvement store explained.
In the clip, a changing table has been transformed into a stylish coffee cart with three shelves and enough space for cups, cookie tins and packets of coffee beans.
The coffee station was completed by a self-designed menu made of butcher paper attached above it.
The rise of home coffee stands is most likely a result of the cost of living crisis and the fact that a takeaway coffee can cost up to $7.

Images of chic designs are bombarding social media, and Bunnings Warehouse shared a TikTok about how easy it is to build a bar cart yourself. Some might argue that a coffee cart is the latest sign of getting older.
The move from bar carts to coffee stations is also likely due to young Australians choosing to drink less alcohol.
According to a study by Drinkwise, 76 percent of 18- to 24-year-old Australians enjoy participating in social activities that do not involve alcohol and 65 percent would like to drink less alcohol.
Young Australians say they would rather not have a hangover the next day: 23 percent choose to stay sober.
Generation Z is taking the lead in turning away from alcohol and preferring healthier alternatives overall.
