Saving Space: Using Stackable or Nesting Products

For all of us with limited kitchen storage space, items that stack or nest nicely can be a big help. Mixing bowl sets and plastic food storage are places where such options abound.

But what about coffee cups or mugs? Cost Plus World Market has options in solid colors and these stripes.




Diversified Ceramics has a range of stackable cups: for espresso, cappuccino, latte, etc. (Available here.)




And here's something very different: totem cups.

Other places to get stacking mugs include Crate and Barrel and - going further afield - Ceramic Tableware House Sendirian Berhad in Malaysia.
