Created a coffee frother/stirrer stand that is deep enough that it will catch drips and not allow fluid to spill over onto your countertop. The metal stand that comes with the frother slides in snuggly so it can't wiggle out or fall over but can be pulled out vertically very easily. Can be hand washed out for cleaning coffee/liquids residue. Base is wide enough that stand/frother is difficult to knock over but does not take up much more countertop real estate.
