Fold up drip coffee maker.

[Packard]

I made a drip coffee stand about 20 years ago.  Dovetail joints and 3/4” thick oak.  I used it every day for those 20 years.  It shows the use. 

A nice stand, but it uses up counter space.

I would like to make one that mounts under the upper cabinets and folds up when not in use.

I would like to use soft close hinges that would “close” to bring the piece to the “stored” position.

I did a google search and I did not find anything similar. 

An alternative would be to mount it on sliding drawer track and have it store against the back splash.

Does a version of this already exist?  I am not interested in re-inventing the wheel.

Would this be for something like a Hario V60 or other single serve coffee brewing device?

I'm trying to envision what this would look like - would it fold down, hold the coffee brewing object over a mug/thermos, and then when done, fold back up under a cabinet?

fwiw these need to be seen for the art pieces they are

This is the coffee maker I made 20 years ago.  It shows the 20 years of daily use.

I used blind dovetails.  The joints are still tight. 

I made one for my brother-in-law using through dovetails and I glued a piece of dark green marble on the base.  The weight improves stability, and the dark marble does not show the coffee stains, plus it wipes clean easily.

That early in the morning, none of the stories would be pretty.
