The Coffee Service Solution
We are coffee people. The people who we entertain frequently in our home are coffee people. Setting up a coffee station time and time again in our small kitchen and dining area can become a bit of a problem. We have limited counter space available, and most often that is needed for munchies or dinner, served buffet style. There really isn’t any one place where I can spread out a selection of coffee mugs, creamer, sugar bowl, honey, carafe, napkins, spoons, etc. That takes up a lot of space! With serving space at a premium, I needed a solution that was better than not serving coffee altogether.
On a recent trip to Cost Plus World Market, I found the greatest tool to help me set up a small coffee space- a stackable mug set. Six brightly colored coffee mugs come neatly stacked in their own chrome holder. The holder itself is sturdy and can be used to transport the mugs from cupboard to counter. The dishwasher-safe mugs stack neatly within the holder and take up no more space than one or two mugs would. Available in a chic multi-color set, or solid colors, this set is also available in jumbo cups and espresso size cups. The espresso cups come with the demitasse plates that match the cups in color. Prices range from $9.99-$19.99 depending on the set.
These mugs are very durable, and have withstood the rigors of young children drinking warm cider on more than one occassion. We also love the fact that the multi colored set easily keeps your mug distinguishable from all the others. No more sipping at mugs, hoping you picked up the correct one. With the inexpensive price tag, these are definitely a bargain, and well worth the investment in a great space-saving tool.
