How to set it up

  2. Brew in the kitchen and pour into the carafe, which keeps coffee hot for a while.
  3. Set the mug and a book on the table and settle in.

Make it feel like a café

  • Keep a throw blanket over the arm of the chair.
  • Use a coaster so the table stays clean.
  • Put your phone in another room.
