The kitchen in a motorhome or caravan is usually small, and counter space is valuable. Even so, the capsule coffee machine far too often ends up taking space it should not have, being put away in the drawer between every stop, or standing unsecured and sliding around while driving. A Kaffehylle for motorhomes solves all three problems at once.
What is a Kaffehylle for motorhomes?
A Kaffehylle for motorhomes is a wall mount made specifically to hold a capsule coffee machine in place in a vehicle in motion. Unlike an ordinary kitchen shelf, it is built with a securing strap that keeps the machine from moving, and it is mounted directly on the wall so the machine never needs to be moved. Kaffehylle.no produces its shelves in 2 mm aluminium with durable powder coating and sells them in black or white to fit different interiors.
Why is counter space so important in a motorhome and caravan?
In a motorhome or caravan kitchen there is rarely more than 60 to 80 centimetres of counter space available. Every item left permanently on the counter eats into the space you need for cooking, washing up and daily use. By mounting the capsule coffee machine on the wall with a wall mount, you free up the machine's entire footprint for other purposes, and the kitchen immediately feels tidier and more functional.
Is it safe to have the capsule coffee machine mounted while driving?
Yes, provided the machine is properly secured. The Kaffehylle from Kaffehylle.no is built with a securing strap that holds the machine against the shelf during transport. The water tank should be emptied before driving, but the machine itself can stay mounted for the whole trip without having to be moved. This is far safer than leaving it loose on the kitchen counter, where it can slide off and damage itself or injure someone in the vehicle during a sudden stop.
Which capsule coffee machines fit a Kaffehylle?
Kaffehylle.no offers shelf models adapted to the following machines:
Nescafé Dolce Gusto Genio S (standard)
Nescafé Dolce Gusto Genio S (low model)
Nespresso Essenza Mini
These machines have been chosen because they combine compact size, simple operation and good availability of capsules in Norwegian shops. The Nespresso Essenza Mini, for example, is the brand's smallest model and weighs under two kilos, which makes it well suited to a motorhome and caravan.
Right-hand or left-hand mounting?
Most Kaffehylle shelves can be mounted on both the right and the left side, depending on where the power socket and water source are located in your motorhome or caravan. It is wise to plan the placement so the cord does not stretch across work surfaces and so that water refilling is easy without having to lift the machine down.
A quality product made in Norway

The product was developed on the basis of a real need from motorhome life and is designed to fit naturally into the interior without looking like a technical aid.
Common questions about the Kaffehylle for motorhomes
Can I use the Kaffehylle in a boat as well? Yes. Kaffehylle.no's products are suitable for motorhomes, caravans and boats where there is a suitable wall and a power socket nearby.
Do I have to drill holes in the wall to mount the shelf? Yes, the shelf is mounted with screws to ensure that it holds also while driving. Mounting hardware is included in the package.
Can the machine be used while it is in the shelf? Yes. The shelf is built so that the securing strap does not obstruct operation of the machine or refilling of water.
