To set the stage we live in a beach town, often hosting friends and family, particularly in the summer. And when I say we have a love of coffee, it's not just a simple appreciation. Imagine roughly 8-10 different coffee making devices and several different varieties of coffee beans. We have everything from a vintage (est 1950's) egg shaped 35-cup percolator from Robeson Cutlery to a modern siphon brewer from KitchenAid, and several in between. They're not simply decorative, either. We use them all quite regularly.
Our house is an original Cape Cod style Sears 'kit home' from the 1950's, and counter space is not abundant. We struggled with storing and easily accessing the different coffee making devices, as well as our other countertop appliances; the real challenge comes when we have houseguests and we're prepping meals, particularly breakfast. So much counter space is dominated by the tools and accoutrements that produce our beloved source of caffeine, there is little room left to prepare meals.
