Ditch Cluttered Countertops: Amazon's Keurig Accessory Doubles As Mug Storage

A coffee machine is a necessity, but must it turn our kitchen counters into untidy messes? The machine itself isn't the issue — it's everything else: mugs, syrups, sugar, and especially pods. Because even if style and color are factors you considered when picking a Keurig for your kitchen, there's not much you can do about how unappealing those K-Cups are with their white plastic that's far from sleek and elegant. So, if you want to say goodbye to cluttered kitchen countertops, instead of allowing your coffee corner to add to the problem, consider how clever accessories can help you store K-Cups and bring order to the madness. 

Take this Sicheer coffee pod drawer holder from Amazon, for example. For $29.99, it can hold 42 pods. It hides the K-Cups away in three closed drawers and has some room on the top for mug storage. Plus, on the side, it has a sort of pegboard-style design that comes with hooks, where you can hang two more cups by their handles. It's matte black with a sleek aesthetic that matches industrial-style kitchens and modern interiors. It pairs well with basic Keurig machines, which are black and chrome, and there are tons of ways to style them with different mugs and coffee apparatus. 

The basic model measures close to 15 inches deep and just under 5 inches wide, so it's perfect for even a small kitchen counter. It's about 7.5 inches tall, which is a bit shorter than a Keurig coffee machine. And if you're a really serious coffee drinker, there's also an extra-large model that has four drawers and can hold 56 K-Cups. 

The organizer is designed so that you can store three mugs on top of it and two mugs hanging from the sides using the pegboard-style hooks. Of course, you can use that design and adapt it to your needs. For example, if you love iced coffees, place transparent cups instead of mugs on the top section.

But because the organizer is so stylish and sleek, with black matte and metallic details, you can go even further with styling. With a few statement pieces, you can turn this organizer and Keurig machine combo into something that matches the industrial-chic kitchen countertop trend and elevates your space. For example, get two stainless steel coffee cup sets from Hapivida and place them on top of the organizer. Next to the organizer, place this elegant stainless steel serving tray from Kt Home to hold syrup bottles, metal straws, or spoons. 

And if you don't like the look of cups hanging on the side of the organizer, the hooks can be used for other things. For instance, consider hanging metal measuring spoons, which are useful for anyone who likes to make coffee-based cocktails or fancy iced drinks. Even if you just like regular coffees, these can be useful to measure sugar, syrup, or creamer if you're tracking your macros, have other dietary restrictions, or are just a lover of details.
