It was a pleasure to drink all that coffee...

While the espresso bins are for potentiometers and lager components, the
small boxes on the shelf on the second picture are for keeping my main
components supply. Each box has some 24 compartments and is easily brought
along for workshops.

Cheers

That looks very good.
Here's my much less neat and tidy version of that:

On the up side, I got to drink the wine that came with the box...

resistor value on the flap.
