Description - Portofino Coffee Bar
Turn Your Existing Larder Into a Luxury Coffee Station
Meet the Portofino Coffee Bar: a slide-in coffee station insert that transforms an ordinary larder cabinet into a hotel-style coffee bar in minutes. No new cabinets, no trades, no mess — the Portofino slides straight into standard-size larder units, instantly upgrading the kitchen you already have.
Finished in Brown Warmia Walnut, a rich Egger décor with a deep, tactile woodgrain, the Portofino turns the inside of a plain kitchen cupboard into the most talked-about corner of the room. A show stopping feature of your kitchen area.

Your Kitchen's New Favourite Corner
The Portofino is more than storage — it changes your mornings. A proper coffee corner for the first flat white of the day, a hidden coffee nook that impresses when guests arrive, a breakfast cupboard that keeps worktops clear, or the upgrade that makes working from home feel like working from a boutique hotel. If you've been searching for kitchen coffee bar ideas that don't involve ripping out cabinets, this is the answer.
Built Like Furniture, Not Flat-Pack
Precision-manufactured in our Manchester workshop by Aspin Collins, the Portofino is made from 18mm Egger board in Brown Warmia Walnut (H1307) with the ST19 Deepskin texture — a deeply brushed, hand-crafted woodgrain feel you can see and touch. Every edge is finished with colour-matched ABS edgebanding on our industrial edgebander, the same specification used by high-end kitchen designers. This is trade-quality cabinetry, made by joiners.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size larder cabinet does the Portofino Coffee Bar fit?
The Portofino is made to suit standard larder carcase heights of 1920mm, 1945mm, 1970mm and 2150mm. Measure your internal carcase width and depth — if you're unsure, message us with your measurements and we'll confirm the right fit.
Which coffee machines are compatible?
Most machines including all Nespresso models (Creatista Pro, Vertuo, Original line), Sage, De'Longhi and standard pod machines, plus milk frothers and velvetisers alongside. Please double check measurement against our dimensions.
Can I fit it myself?
Yes — the Portofino slides into your existing larder. No joinery skills, no tradespeople, typically under half an hour.
Do I need an electrician?
If your larder already has a socket inside, no. If not, a socket will need adding by a qualified electrician — a small, standard job.
Can I get it in a different colour?
Brown Warmia Walnut is the launch colour, with more finishes dropping soon. Join the list or follow @aspin_collins for new colour releases.
