Standing Italian Espresso Bar: A One-Minute Space

Standing Italian Coffee Bar: A One-Minute Space.
This type of store has no seats, only a long bar counter where customers stand, drink, and leave, with the whole process taking less than a minute. Therefore, the design focuses on the length of the bar and the density of people: the counter height is suitable for standing, with a protruding edge for resting elbows, and a toe kick recess underneath to allow people to stand closer. Coffee machines, grinders, cup holders, and the cashier are lined up on the inner side of the bar, with the barista's movement limited to two or three steps. Pastries are under glass covers, within arm's reach. Walls are tiled or marble for easy cleaning; flooring is durable. The space is long and narrow, not very deep, and completely open to the street. Shot during morning peak hours, people standing side-by-side at the bar, the barista's workflow, and the within-reach display are all visible.
Avoid: Setting up tables and chairs, making the bar wide and deep, coffee machine facing away from customers, a quiet and empty space.

這種店沒有座位,只有一道長吧檯,客人站著喝完就走,整個過程不到一分鐘。所以設計的重點是吧檯的長度與人的密度:檯面高度適合站立,前緣有一道可以放手肘的凸出,下方留出腳尖的凹槽讓人可以站得更近。咖啡機、磨豆機、杯架與收銀在吧檯內側一字排開,咖啡師的動線只有兩三步。糕點在玻璃罩下,伸手可及。牆面是磁磚或大理石,好清潔;地坪耐磨。空間狹長,深度不大,面向街道完全開放。早晨尖峰時段拍攝,吧檯前並排站著的人、咖啡師的動線與伸手可及的陳列同時可見。避免:設置桌椅座位、吧檯做得寬而深、咖啡機背對客人、空間安靜無人。
