Lauren Graham Keeps This Kitchen Gem “Inches” from Her Bedroom
Gilmore Girls fans know that Lorelai Gilmore is famous for her commitment to coffee, but it turns out life imitates art when it comes to Lauren Graham, the actress who played her. The Gilmore Girls alum, who recently reunited with her castmate Alexis Bledel after nine long years at the 2025 Emmys, has a hot (literally!) tip for caffeinating her morning, and it’s all about where she keeps her coffee maker.
Lauren Graham Keeps a Coffee Machine Close to Her Bedroom
Graham shared a quick get-ready-with-me video recently in which she walked through her five-minute makeup routine, and her trusty companion throughout the whole thing is a charming vintage-looking teacup filled with coffee. She kicks off the video describing her plans for the day, laughing while she says, “I have a light day. I need to go to the store and get some coffee, actually, I’m out of coffee, and I’m not even just saying that.” The caption notes, “Fun fact: My coffee machine is inches away from my bedroom.” The dream, right?
Why You’ll Want to Keep Your Coffee Machine in Your Bedroom
While the coffee isn’t the main star of her video, Graham is onto something with keeping her coffee maker right by the bedroom. Having a coffee maker within steps of your bed is the little luxury you may need to upgrade your morning routine, especially if you’re as enthusiastic about your coffee as Lorelai Gilmore. Here’s why.
It saves time.
It may not take long to get to the kitchen, but it can take a little longer than you’d like — especially if you know you’re going to get distracted en route, whether it’s by the dishwasher full of dishes or the unread emails on your laptop. Keeping your coffee maker right by your bedroom lets you get your cup of joe first thing.
It feels like a warm, cozy luxury.
Coffee in your bedroom may seem unnecessary, but there’s something magical about getting to sip it slowly while you get ready for the day rather than setting it on your desk and forgetting about it until it’s cooled down. That smell of coffee in the morning feels like you’re stepping into a cozy fall morning (hello, Stars Hollow!) — even in the middle of summer.
It’s not just for your bedroom.
Want to create a hotel-like experience for guests? You can also put a coffee machine in your guest bedroom. Try a small Nespresso that’s easy to use, and your guests will feel as if they’ve woken up in an idyllic room at the Dragonfly Inn.
