Scroll through Ikea’s latest releases and it’s clear: the brand’s on a fridge organization tear, rolling out slick solutions for every type of kitchen chaos.

But among all the clever upgrades, one newcomer will steal the spotlight for anyone serious about beer, soda and seltzer.

Bodega-grade perks, at home

It may seem a little strange—especially to American buyers—that each drink holder can hold just four standard-sized cans or bottles. But the shorter length also means the Klippkaktus drink holder will fit in many mini fridges.

Opening the fridge to grab a drink, only to find it buried behind a week’s worth of leftovers and a half-empty jug of milk, is an all-too-familiar scene that Ikea seems determined to fix.

Bottle and can organizers have existed for decades, but as usual, the design geniuses at Ikea have figured out a few tweaks to improve on the status quo.

One detail that sets the Klippkaktus drink holder apart is its compact footprint.

Though the capacity to hold four standard cans or bottles in a single rack might seem at odds with American six-pack standards, the shorter length means the Klippkaktus drink holder can fit in mini fridges—not to mention fridge sizes that are common abroad.

That said, multiple holders can also be easily linked together for extra storage capacity, and for anyone naturally worried about assembly hassle, each drink holder unit appears to snap together in just a few clicks.

The drink holder’s biggest selling point, though, is its “push-forward” functionality, which eliminates the mildly annoying ritual of rooting around in the back for a cold can.

Each time you grab a drink from the front, the next one rolls forward automatically, mirroring the tidy, user-friendly presentation seen in convenience stores and gas station beverage fridges.

Pricing and availability

The icing on the cake here is, of course, the price.

The Klippkaktus drink holder is now available for $9.99 on Ikea’s website and in stores, which is far less than even generic options on Amazon or other retailers.

So even if you decide to pick up multiple units, you should still have enough change to buy beef jerky, Cheetos, and Skittles.
