Low clearance countertops - Coffee maker recs?
Posted on 9/13/18 at 8:56 pm

I have a dilemma...Have a great coffee maker that has been reliable for years. I recently moved into a new house with a very small amount of clearance between the counter tops and the bottom of the cabinets - 14-3/4" to be exact.
Anyone have a similar situation and have good experience with a specific coffee maker? My only wants are that it be programmable and have a thermal carafe, but I'd be willing to let go of either/both for a good maker.

My clearance is 14 3/8". The Capresso is about the only one that fit the bill. The bonus is that it's a good coffee maker

Is this a house for ants?

My cabinets hang a bit lower (and go a bit higher) than standard, hence the reduced height between counter top & bottom of cabinet.

Question, Are their deco strips that extend below the bottom of your cabinets to hide under cabinet lighting? Like this?
If you do have these, you can add some hinged brackets (preferably to a short section of deco strip) that will allow you to swing those deco strips back and give you a little more clearance. Like these:

Just make sure the dimensions on the brackets will fit your deco strips. There are many different kinds and sizes that you will buy. I had to do this because I bought a mixer that was too tall. I added the hinged brackets and now I just flip the deco strip back when I need to use the mixer.

I don't have low clearance, but I keep my coffee maker on a clear plastic mat. I use the mat to pull the coffee maker out past the cabinets when in use.

I have to slide out my coffee maker to use it as well. If I were OP, I would get whatever coffee maker I want and a small kitchen cart to keep it on.

That's exactly the case! That might be a pretty good solution. Let me take a gander at this today.
