I’ve Found My New Favorite Joseph Joseph Storage Product — This Under-Shelf Coffee Pod Drawer is Space-Saving, Affordable, and Can Fit Seamlessly Into Your Kitchen's Design
If you love your coffee but hate how much counter space all the paraphernalia takes up in your small kitchen, this coffee pod storage shelf is the perfect solution
For many of us, coffee marks the start of the day — the glorious smell, and much-needed caffeine hit — and if you're anything like me, the day feels completely off if that coffee, for whatever reason, gets skipped. So it stands to reason that many of us also have a lot of coffee paraphernalia in our kitchens, which, though entirely necessary, starts to take up valuable counter space — and no one wants cluttered worktops. That's why, for all the coffee pod lovers out there, I've found a genius solution: Joseph Joseph's Under-Shelf Coffee Pod Drawer.
Joseph Joseph is one of my favorite brands for clever storage solutions — it's my go-to for functional products that don't skimp on style — and this under-shelf coffee pod drawer is no exception. It allows you to have all of your pods close at hand without taking up additional space on your countertop, seamlessly blending into the design of your space under one of your kitchen shelves.
One happy customer notes, "What perfect use of space between cupboards." And that's exactly it — this handy solution uses space under shelves that would otherwise be wasted, so that more of the space you do need can be freed up. Oh, and did I mention it only costs £16?
Size: Suitable for kitchen units over H7.5 x W27.2 x D18.5 cm (H3 x W10.75 x D7.25 inches) — Maximum shelf thickness: 2 cm (0.75 inches)
Joseph Joseph's Under-Shelf Coffee Pod Drawer is the practical and affordable answer to neatly organizing pods for your coffee pod machine, while keeping them within easy reach and without taking up extra counter space in your kitchen.
With a capacity to hold up to 30 Nespresso® original-style coffee pods, the shelf is also super easy to install — no tools required — using strong 3M™ VHB™ tape.
What I appreciate so much about this product is the simple, yet highly effective design — it seamlessly integrates into your current kitchen's setup. And I'm also all for an easy installation process that doesn't involve tools and drills.
"I have purchased so many different organizers for our coffee pods over the years — this one is the best," says one reviewer. "Easy to fit and keeps the kitchen looking tidy."
Another reviewer notes that it's the "Best coffee storage ever! Looks so smart. I love it. Design is perfect and sits beautifully under my cupboard, freeing up countertop space."
But I think the award for my favorite review goes to this one: "Finally, some order in my chaotic caffeine life. This sleek little drawer keeps all my pods lined up like soldiers waiting for battle. It slides out smoothly, looks fancy, and somehow makes me feel like a functioning adult."

We've all been there — adulting can be tough — at least this coffee machine accessory makes some of the simpler things easier.
It's worth noting that a few customers mentioned the coffee pods can slip around inside the drawer, and one explained they used a non-slip mat on the base of the drawer, which solved the issue.
Something like Linda's Essentials Kitchen Drawer Liners at Amazon would do the trick.
The only other thing is to ensure the coffee pods you wish to store are either Nespresso® original-style pods or Nespresso®-compatible and you're good to go for a coffee-loving, clutter-free kitchen.
Alternative Coffee Pod Storage
Instead of a drawer, this polished stainless steel coffee pod holder can be installed vertically or horizontally, on walls or cabinets, depending on what works best for your space. It also fits up to 40 original line coffee pods for the ultimate space-saving kitchen storage idea.
Another wall-mounted option, this coffee pod holder can accommodate any pod size — simply adjust the distance between the rails to suit your needs and maximise the space in your kitchen or pantry.
If you only want to house a small number of coffee pods, this is the pod organizer for you — with capacity for 10 Nespresso Vertuo Pods, this wall-mounted holder is made of clear acrylic. I'm also a fan of this larger Black Acrylic Magnetic Coffee Pod Holder for an extra style edge.
Coffee Pod Storage Drawers
I appreciate that dedicating an entire drawer to coffee pod storage is not reasonable in most situations, but if you do have a drawer overflowing with coffee bits and bobs, this is a sure-fire way to keep it more organized, and it fits 40 Vertuo capsules.
The other option is to blend your coffee pod storage into a coffee machine stand — a ready-made caffeine station that is a design statement in itself, so you won't mind having it on show. This wooden storage box can store up to 30 coffee pods.
This highly rated coffee pod storage drawer is praised for its style and spacious drawers, and is another design that makes a feature of your coffee station rather than concealing it. If your coffee machine is already on the counter, why not house the pods stylishly underneath it?
