There is beauty in simplicity. And we can bring that beauty (and some peace) to our mornings by organizing with mason jars. Mason jars are having more than a moment…they’re here to stay, and for good reason.
If you’re in love with everything mason, then organizing your coffee bar with these jars will lift your morning spirits. So select a cabinet or corner of the counter, gather a variety of mason jars and all of the supplies you need for your morning ritual.
Storing freshly ground coffee in a tightly sealed mason jar will keep it fresh longer than it will last (for coffee fanatics anyway). You’ll also get the added bonus of an instant olfactory rush when you open the lid and release that comforting aromatic coffee scent.
And no need to reach for a mug…just use a jelly jar to serve your fresh brew.
Keep your hot chocolate, assorted teas, and sugars in the mix for moments when you or your guest would prefer a different hot drink option.
