We usually have a good amount of K-Cups on hand at my house. Different flavors, decaf, tea, hot chocolate… They become challenging to store. Ideally K-Cup storage would keep them handy and organized. Recently I was offered the opportunity to try out the CoffeeStack, which I gladly accepted.
ABOUT COFFEESTACK
New for fall 2011, CoffeeStack is a unique space-saver that organizes 40 K-Cups in the kitchen cabinet.
“CoffeeStack is a sleek, efficient solution for coffee pod clutter,” said Lauren Greenwood, vice president of sales and marketing for YouCopia Products, Inc., maker of CoffeeStack. “It’s a K-Cup holder designed specifically for the kitchen cabinet so the consumer can free up space on the countertop and stay organized.”
CoffeeStack measures just over 5 inches wide and fits in all standard kitchen cabinets. Four drawers hold a total of 40 K-Cups, making CoffeeStack the highest-capacity K-Cup organizer of its size on the market.
To use, simply pull the drawer out until it’s extended and lower it to resting position at eye-level. Because all the K-Cups labels face out, it’s easy to select the coffee of choice. Refill with new K-Cups as needed by dropping each pod into an empty holder. The patent-pending design is a great solution for storing more K-Cups in less space without sacrificing accessibility.
CoffeeStack’s black and silver colors match the most popular coffee machine models. No assembly is required. Non-skid rubber feet hold CoffeeStack securely in place in the cabinet and units can be stacked. Durable plastic is easy to clean with a damp cloth.
MY THOUGHTS
We order our K-Cups several boxes at a time. this is what a typical delivery looks like.
Typically we’ve just placed the boxes on one of the shelves of the giant bakers rack that we use as a pantry. It isn’t exceptionally handy but it works. I liked the idea of being able to store 40 different K-Cups in one unit that we could place in the cabinet right above the coffee maker. The CoffeeStrack requires no assembly, it comes ready to use.
To put K-Cups in the Coffee Stack, just pull out the tray and put K-Cups into the holes.
Then slide the tray back into the CoffeeStack.
The next step is to place the CoffeeStack into your cabinet. Unfortunately, the CoffeeStack was just a tad too big for my cabinet – it didn’t fit. It was just a hair (almost literally) too tall.
Fortunately, the CoffeeStack also looks great on the countertop.
We really like the CoffeeStack. It lives next to the Keurig. As it turns out, it’s helped us manage our “stock” of coffee. When we kept the boxes on the shelf we’d use one K-Cup at a time, and didn’t really know how many we had left until we were almost out. Now I know that when we’re onto the third drawer down it’s time to order more K-Cups.
CoffeeStack is available at Bed Bath & Beyond and other retail stores, as well as through CoffeeStack.com. Suggested retail price is $29.99.
