Looking for a space to store your coffee pods? Check out this hack!

We all know that a morning cuppa or fresh coffee can make or break a day. And if you're like us, you've probably invested in a coffee machine such as the Nespresso machine to make the perfect brew at home. (If you haven't yet, we promise you it's worth it!)

But what if we told you there's a secret hack to make your coffee moments even better?



Enter TikTok user Carly, who recently shared a video about a nifty gadget that's taking the coffee world by storm. And let us tell you, it's a game-changer!

The video shows Carly's sister-in-law using a genius tool from Amazon to store her Nespresso pods in a way that will blow your mind. It's so simple, yet so effective.



In the video, you'll see Carly's sister-in-law's Nespresso machine sitting on the countertop, complete with a row of Nespresso pods perfectly balanced upside down above it.

Apparently, the woman used a set of capsule holders and attached them to the surface above her Nespresso machine. This way, she can easily pull a pod out whenever she makes her morning coffee, all without having to fumble and make a mess!

It's the perfect solution for those who love their coffee pods but hate the clutter they create.



Now, we know what you're thinking - what's the name of this magical gadget, and where can I get one? While the exact item isn't available on the Australian Amazon site, don't worry! We've rounded up some amazing alternatives that will do the trick just as well.

So, whether you're a coffee aficionado or just looking for a way to keep your kitchen tidy, check out these amazing Nespresso pod holders here! Trust us, your morning cup of coffee will thank you.

An even better (and much cheaper!) alternative is (1) just open the box the pods came in); (2) take out one pod at a time; (3) close the box and put it somewhere ready for the next use.
That way, you don't have to spend a single cent and the money you save by NOT buying anything can be put towards purchasing many more boxes of pods. Isn't that brilliant?

I don't have a coffee machine, nor do I want one. My son has reusable pods that he fills himself, much more user and eco-friendly. :)
 
My pod holder I bought many years ago from reject shop, on sale for $5. It is a frame with a wire drawer that holds up to 100 pods. My Nespresso machine sits neatly on top of it. It is only slightly bigger than the machine so takes up no more bench space than if the machine was sitting on the bench. I send my used pods back to Nespresso to be recycled.

Yes, been thinking about that for a while now because of the amount of coffee we drink. How much does it cost, where do you send them or can you drop the used ones off to a store somewhere? Thanks for an answer.

Nespresso sent me a postage free return bag for the pods when I placed my order. I have had two, still filling the second one up, has been awhile since I placed my last order so not sure if they still do this. My orders are usually 10 plus boxes as I share them with my daughter. She keeps her pods and puts them in the return bag as well. My daughter has been away for twelve months which is why I haven’t ordered for awhile, I’m using all the pods we both had first.
