Coffee maker in 2306?

We just got our new 2306 yesterday, and I'm scratching my head over where to put our coffee maker. Any ideas?

A folding tv tray at the end of the counter?

We just took delivery on our 2306 and we are having the same problem. My original thought was to move the light under the microwave and put an under cabinet unit just below. After many searches i have realized that the "spacemaker" type coffee makers are not very easy to find. For now we use our keurig from the house. We store it below the bunks and when its in use we put it on the flip up counter section next to the sink.

Keurig user here too. My wife nixed the flip up counter idea. That's food prep area! So we will either center it on the dinette table against the window, or I'll build a small shelf somewhere near, but above the flip up counter extension.

Yeah we use the flip up as food prep also. Only use it for coffee when we are brewing. Any other time, the keurig is in its cabinet. How are you liking your 2306 so far?

Just got it 3 days ago. Still, very excited. We've had a small Jayco Swift Slx since 2011 and liked it a lot. But when we made a list of the things we wanted that the Jayco didn't have, yet was still small and light, the 2306 fit the bill perfectly. We're even planning an April outing, which is very unusual for us!! Can't wait!

How about a bag of coarse ground coffee beans, french press and a tea kettle to boil water in? Very space efficient!

I have a French press that I could do just fine with, but my wife really likes the Keurig.

We got one of those boards that covers one of the sinks and put the coffee maker on that in our 2306.

Since DW sticks to her British heritage and drinks tea, I went for a one-cup brewer. I got a Black & Decker one that doesn't use "pods", so I can keep my favorite Costco coffee and save lotsa loot at the same time.

We're not coffee drinkers but we put the toaster on the foldup shelf next to the sink. It works well and fairly sturdy.

We use a percolator. I typically make my coffee outside in the morning, so as not to wake everyone else. But otherwise I'll use the flip up table and then put it away during the day.

We took two cutting boards and put rubber feet on the bottoms... Sat them side-by-side over the burners for a lot more counter space... We don't use a coffee maker but it's where we put the toaster.
