Nice work I like the design simple yet effective.

I have one of these coffee makers also. I can’t really comment on the coffee maker itself as I don’t drink coffee but I’m curious how the cups stay in the vertical position. The cups we get at least are tapered and it seems to me they would just slide out if you were to store them vertically such as this.

Neat idea. Well done. I could put that next to my Twinkies.

Thanks, folks. Like all of our projects, it was fun.
Kyle, I had the same concerns about the K-cups falling out of a vertical hole, and even considered tapering the sides to make them narrower at the top and give it a slight inward tilt, but when I tested it with some coffee containers, they stayed in place perfectly. Maybe because the hole is fairly tight and provides a friction fit.
I didn’t mention it previously, but the lid does come off, and there is room for a canister about four inches in diameter inside the thing.

This is much more beautiful than what you can buy in the store. I never thought to make one myself! We have a lot of beautiful leftover wood in our basement that was left by the previous owners. I think I’ll give this a try!
