I've set up a coffee/drink bar complete with coffee, espresso machine, various sweeteners, stirring sticks, teas, liquors, etc.

However the one thing missing at the bar is the creamer: we use half-and-half which requires refrigeration. So every time I make a drink that uses creamer I need to make a walk to the kitchen refrigerator to get the creamer.

enter image description here

I've thought of a few ways to solve this problem, but they all fall short for various reasons:

  • Use those small 1-tsp sized creamer cups which aren't refrigerated - way more costly per oz than a carton of half-n-half and opening several of them when making drinks for the family is a hassle
  • Use powdered creamer - ech!
  • Install a mini fridge at the bar

The last option is the closest to what I'd like, but the smallest mini-fridge at my local Home Depot is still large enough to fit ~10-15 of these cartons which seems like overkill. Also they don't fit on top of the counter, so I'd need to remove a cabinet from under the counter, and hiring a carpenter just to get my creamer closer to my coffee also seems quite overkill.

Has anyone here with the same issue as me come up with an elegant solution?

    Specifically the recommendation to look for tiny fridges. The USB ones in my experience don't work well, but there are plug-in ~10L fridges for about $50 out there that work beautifully and don't kill your counter space. – R Mac Sep 19 '21 at 07:55
