Hey, coffee lovers! After I shared my coffee corner, quite a few people asked about the wooden shelf and the little glass tubes I use for coffee beans. So today, let’s take a closer look—and put together the new coffee station organizer that gives my portafilter a spot of its own.
The setup is simple: a three-tier shelf at the back, a wooden organizer at the front, and the tools I use every day within reach. Once everything is in place, the whole corner looks much tidier.
Coffee Bean Storage Tubes for Daily Dosing
Let’s start with those glass tubes. I portion out beans after they’ve rested, and I only fill enough for the next two or three days. This is my everyday supply beside the grinder, rather than a place to keep a whole bag for weeks.
Some of you asked whether the tubes need lids with one-way valves. For this routine, I prefer the simple stopper style. The beans have already rested before I divide them into portions, so I haven’t felt the need to choose a valve-equipped version.
There were also questions about light getting through the clear glass. I’m talking about a small amount of coffee that I’ll use quickly; storing beans for longer is a different situation. That short turnaround is part of why these coffee bean storage tubes fit my setup.
A Three-Tier Coffee Bar Organizer for the Small Stuff
The JOJR shelf was already part of my coffee corner, and I’ve been happy with its value. The top holds the bean tubes and a few round accessories, small containers sit in the middle, and the lower level keeps more of my espresso tools together.
That’s what I like about a tiered coffee bar organizer: the smaller pieces have somewhere to go without all sitting in one row across the counter.
The new addition sits in front of that shelf. It’s a wooden espresso accessory organizer with a cat-ear-style portafilter support. The shelf handles the storage above, while the new base gives the tools in front a more defined place.
Putting Together the Wooden Coffee Organizer
First, take a look at the base. It has round recesses, a rectangular pocket and narrow slots, so you can arrange your smaller accessories around the shapes already cut into the wood.
Attach the cat-ear-style support and fasten the screws. Once that’s in place, the portafilter has somewhere to rest.
The little support at the front is adjustable. I try the portafilter in place, check its height, and adjust the support to suit it. In this setup, it works as an adjustable portafilter holder for bottomless and spouted portafilters, with the height adjusted for each one.
One detail I noticed during assembly: the upper fastening still needs a screwdriver. I’d like to suggest making that part easier to adjust. It’s a small thing, but you notice it while putting everything together.
Then add the little pads to the underside of the base, turn it over, and check the portafilter position again. A bit of hands-on assembly, and the new piece is ready.
How to Organize a Home Coffee Station Around Your Routine
For my setup, the arrangement is straightforward: the three-tier shelf goes at the back, the portafilter holder sits in front, and the frequently used tools go back into their places.
If you’re looking for coffee corner storage ideas, that’s the part of this setup I’d start with: give the small items their own spots, then keep the tools you reach for while making coffee close by.
With the coffee station organizer assembled and everything back in position, the corner feels complete. Now for the enjoyable part—grind, prepare the portafilter, pull a shot, steam the milk and pour a little latte art.
All tidied up. Time for a coffee.
