Not Baskets: The Multi-Use Amazon Find That'll Add Storage Next To Your Keurig

More Americans reach for a Keurig to make their morning coffee than any other machine. There are numerous fuss-free models and simple steps to keep them clean. You have dozens of flavored K-Cups to choose from, including those from big-name coffee shops, so you can enjoy the same flavor at home. However, there is one thing they haven't thought of: storage. Lots of people toss their K-Cups into a basket, but what about cups, spoons, sweeteners, and all of the other accessories necessary to make your morning brew? The attractive and versatile Plaviya Coffee Bar Station Organizer from Amazon is an interesting solution.

The steel frame is both sturdy and decorative and has non-slip feet. Although it's just over a foot wide (so it won't take up a lot of counter space), there is plenty of useful storage. On the outside there are a dozen movable hooks for coffee cups. There are two wood-look MDF shelves and two wire mesh pull-out drawers underneath. Each of these can hold 30 K-Cups, although the lower one can also be used for sugar sachets, napkins, and spoons. The Plaviya Coffee Bar Station Organizer currently costs $44.99 — while it's certainly more of an investment than a plain basket, it's sure to help you upgrade your morning routine.

Clearly, the Plaviya Coffee Bar Station Organizer complements your Keurig, but it's not just for K-Cups. You might have a favorite hot chocolate you can only get in a canister. You might like honey instead of sugar in your coffee. Perhaps you add a tot of liquor on a cold winter evening. Then there are those biscuit or candy treats you like to keep handy. The spacious shelves can accommodate a variety of jars, pots, packets, and miniatures. It seems like a great idea to keep counters clutter-free. 

Most customers seem to agree, giving it an average rating of 4.7 stars. One buyer on Amazon called it "a game changer for our coffee/tea area." Another Amazon reviewer underlined the versatility, saying, "All my coffee pods are organized. I have two shelves for breakfast bars and bottom drawer for napkins and whatever." The fact there's plenty of space is often mentioned. Complaints are extremely rare, although one or two people found defects, and one didn't like that it had to be assembled (although most thought it easy).

You could perhaps DIY a cabinet for K-Cups and accessories as an alternative, but if space is at a premium, that may not be practical. The Plaviya Coffee Bar Station Organizer offers storage for a wide variety of items while remaining compact and allows your Keurig to become the center of a complete beverage system.
