Keurig Coffer Maker Location

I've searched high and low and have only been able to come up with one option for storing our Keurig... in the wardrobe closet. It's not a half bad option except when having to take that thing our every morning, squeeze by the closet door and then put it away when done because of the limited storage space.

Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives? I'd love to have a place to permanently leave it and use it but it seems like that's not going happen. I do have the big huge coffee maker that we bring with from the house so maybe there would be more room for one of the smaller units.

I should mention that were in a 25FB as well with the narrow pull out kitchen closet.

I do the same. The Keurig gets stored in the closet when underway and sits on the counter top under the TV in use. Very little counter space so no other choice. My Keurig is also a full sized one. I have been considering one of the newer small versions.

I bought the single serve unit and store it under the sink; again because of space and convenience.

Our regular size Keurig is a necessity item. At the end of each trip we dump as much water out of it as we can, place a bath towel in the kitchen sink, stand it upright in the sink with the towel wrapped around it so the sink won't get scratched, then just lift it out to the counter when we get to the next destination.

We have the Keurig Mini, so no water storage issues and it rides on the counter. We have only tipped it over once, but no harm, no foul. We put rubber, non-slip pads on the bottom.

Keurig Coffee Maker

As new Bambi 16' owners, we keep our new Keurig coffee maker in the kitchen sink while traveling so it doesn't bounce around. If it were to leak, the water goes into the sink drain.

You can use museum putty on the bottom to stick it to the counter and it won't go anywhere. It's also easily removable. I use it on everything in my trailer from my TV and Bluray to soap dishes, and believe me, it really works great! It's used in California to keep things in place for earthquakes. Some brand names are "Quakehold" and "Quake Secure".

As for my Keurig, I also use a Mini and it fits perfectly in the storage cabinet above the stove in my 2005 28' along with my other coffee supplies. Love the Mini!

keurig storage

hi I store my full size maker in the sink when moving just like furdoggy. we have a double sink so it doesn't go anywhere. coffee supplies above in cabinet and maker on counter by plug. works for us.

tin shak I love your idea of museum putty. it will be on my 'to buy' list.

I don't know if y'all are aware of the recall on the single unit makers. go to keurig website for info as to models.

happy travels pat

We have an older single cup model and store it in a special box and in the shower. No water issues either and super handy, no messy grounds, etc. Great coffee choices.

We bought a K45 for our 20' FC - a smaller version of our big K at home. Currently we travel with it in a plastic tub under the forward bed, but I will be using the sink or putty next - thanks for the ideas.

We store our single serving Keurig coffee maker under the dinette seat. We've noticed that to make the smallest cup size the maker must be level.

keurig

We have the 25 RB an we bring along our Keurig single cup coffee maker and it fits just fine on the counter top and doesn't take up much space at all. When traveling, we store it in the cabinet above the dinette.

We don't use a Keurig, but our 10 cup coffee maker rides on our stove top cover while underway. It is strapped in the corner with a bungee cord. it is secure enough that it travels well even with the pot half full of coffee.

Brian, what's that cover you have over the stove? That thing may be the ticket. Is that custom? Counter space is a premium and ultimately, that's why I have such a hard time with the Keurig.

We have a small single cup model. It travels in the oven when not in use.

In the 22fb, it fits perfectly on the floor between the underbed storage and galley wall when traveling.

The cover that you see on New Lucy's stove is a 3/4" plywood surface on 1 by 3 lumber. It is covered with a sheet of self-healing cutting mat. SuEllyn originally built this for old Lucy, reconfigured it for Little Lucy, and reconfigured it once again for new Lucy.

Is is easily removable if one would want to use the stove burners. It's not a big deal for us as we rarely use the stove top for cooking.

Here are a few pictures.

Re: Storage location for coffee maker

We strapped our Bunn "My Cafe MCU" to our dining table, along with our microwave, which is securely mounted atop a PC monitor stand. A bamboo silverware organizer slides underneath the microwave and contains K-cups, sweetener, paper towels, coffee stirring spoons and miscellaneous items.

Rubber shelf mats keep everything from sliding around, and a nylon camping strap holds all of the loose items tight against the table top. Underneath and unseen, a short piece of pool noodle takes up the slack in the camping strap.

We rearranged the dining table and ends of our bench seats after we no longer needed to convert the table to a bed for our granddaughters, since they are now teens and no longer want to go on extended roadtrips with us old fogies.

We have travelled over 10,000 miles with the microwave and coffee brewer semi-permanently strapped to our dining table, and have had absolutely no problems with this arrangement. It's really convenient to have both of these appliances out and ready to use whenever we stop (and there's 120 VAC available); and we no longer have to store them every time we pull out on the highway.

Note: My wife just saw this photo, and she said that I should have cleaned up the table before posting it. Oh well, you get the picture...

Thumbs up Keurig

Since the big Keurig coffeemaker at home is so behemoth we bought the next smaller sized one for our new 25FB FC last year; fits in the bottom of the sink cabinet that is cut out for the trash bucket as if the space was custom made!

I also put a semi permanent Rubbermaid mat on the floor under the Keurig & before we travel I put two thin pieces of recycled plastic packing sheets upright on either end - to keep it from getting scratched. Works perfectly.
