Our kitchen is small and we have always struggled with counter space. Saw these carts when shopping so I bought one and assembled it. I put all of our coffee and tea stuff on the cart.
I do have some concerns about power draw from both the coffee maker and the kettle on one power strip. Hopefully no one will try to make coffee and hot water at the same time.
Found an ok solution to low counter space
Should be fine unless someone opens the door while the coffee’s hot
You can’t see it in the picture but the door on the right has 2 locks, one at the top and one at the bottom that are both engaged to prevent it from moving.
hopefully nobody disengages them while the coffees hot
Moccamaster fan here. Best coffee makers there are 💪👌
Looks like Ikea, had one similar. I also own a Technivorm, far more important than counter space, but please don’t make Tim’s coffee with it.
Yeah, the cart is from Ikea.
The tim Hortons instant coffee is without a doubt the worst instant coffee I’ve ever had in my life. The only reason why we still have it is because no one in the house wants to drink. We’ve had it for 2 years now. Honestly, I should just throw it out at this point.
FWIW instant coffee is a fine ingredient to add some depth to chocolatey desserts. I’m not going to waste my effort and my nice coffee for something where you basically want to introduce a tiny bit of bitterness.
Also for iced sugary drinks, which I’ll do every once in a while in the summer. For me good coffee is wasted on anything that’s not plain black coffee, and expecting any delicate interesting flavors from something with any sweetener or milk or whatever seems kind of silly. Which might be a limiting thing to think, but whatever, 99% of my coffee consumption is pretty damn good black coffee out of an aeropress.
It’s also good for things like chili or dark stews (~1-2tbsp for the entire pot), which tend to have enough strong flavors involved that absolutely awful coffee doesn’t overpower them. I know that sounds iffy, but it’s good.
Oh that sounds horrible. I once asked a friend flying in from the UK to bring me a jar of Marmite and that’s exactly how I’ve used it. So I get what you’re going for. Although it turns out I like Marmite in its natural setting, which I can’t say about the harsh burnt woodiness of Nescafé.
I do know of some folks who use “coffee” instead of cooking wine, and that often tends to be the instant stuff. Makes sense for people or their guests who don’t drink, I guess. But that funky yeast paste. That stuff is killer.
Instant coffee definitely has its use and not all of it’s bad. However the Tim Hortons one is just awful. It’s even worse than the generic Nescafe instant coffee they sell everywhere.
I generally like my coffees with milk though but no sugar, even if the coffee is good quality.
I have the same kettle. It’s a great kettle!
I have almost the same thing
Fantastic!
Thanks
Hopefully no one will try to make coffee and hot water at the same time.
Sounds unlikely, should be fine. 🤔
My counter space is extremely limited so dedicating a good 10% of it to a nice coffee grinder was a real sacrifice. Although it has made my morning much less tedious after years of using a hand grinder.
I’ve gone through all the absurd hoops to import a Fellow Ode to Lebanon, it damn well better be worth the counter space.
This is a great solution! 👍
Thanks!
get maybe 3 more of those an you’re in business.
No room 😢
We couldnt even get the larger size version of this cart
yeah, I definitely feel your pain on that one.
