# How to Store Coffee Utensils
According to Consumer Reports, over 27 million coffeemakers are sold in the U.S. every year -- that's an average of nine coffeemakers for each person over the age of 18. This explains why finding storage for the plethora of coffee utensils in your kitchen can be such a challenge. As you try to find homes for your coffee accoutrement, keep in mind that even the cleverest storage units cannot increase the amount of space available in your kitchen. Cull your collection and keep only the essentials.
