The cartridge rack includes opposing lateral pins near the rack rear, which pins slide in horizontal slots in holder side walls. A sloped rear surface limits the downward pivot of the rack, and magnets retain the rack in the stored position. In another embodiment, a second under cabinet brewing cartridge holder includes unequal length arms attach a second rack to a slider engaging the horizontal slots. The second rack pivots down and away from the holder and slides forward and rearward. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A brewing cartridge holder, comprising: a generally horizontal base attachable to a bottom surface of a cabinet, the base comprising: opposing parallel vertical side walls on each side of the base, the walls having a top edge; a generally horizontal ceiling at the top edges of the vertical side walls, the ceiling having a generally horizontal bottom face; and opposing generally horizontal inner slots in inside surfaces of the vertical side walls reaching from rear to front of the vertical side walls; a cartridge rack comprising; a body for retaining brewing cartridges; opposing lateral pins near a rear end of the cartridge rack residing simultaneously in both horizontal inner slots of the base, the opposing lateral pins slidable in the horizontal inner slots to translate the cartridge rack forward and rearward between a rear position and a forward position, and the cartridge rack is tiltable to a tilted position about the lateral pins in all positions of the cartridge rack in the base between a position proximal to the rear position and the forward position; and a stop at the rear of the cartridge rack; the cartridge rack and base cooperating to releasably retain the cartridge rack in a rearward and generally horizontal position in the base; and wherein cooperation of the stop resting against the bottom face of the ceiling of the base, and the opposing lateral pins in the inner slots, limits the downward tilt of a forward end of the cartridge rack in the tilted position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The holder of claim 1, wherein the cartridge rack includes holes to retain brewing cartridges. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The holder of claim 1, wherein the cartridge rack includes channels to retain brewing cartridges. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The holder of claim 1, wherein the base includes forward stops in the inner slots near the forward end of the base limiting forward motion of the cartridge rack in the base. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The holder of claim 1, wherein the cartridge rack is retained generally horizontally in the base by cooperating features at a forward edge to releasably retain the cartridge rack in a stored position. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The holder of claim 5, wherein the cooperating features are magnets. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The holder of claim 1, wherein the base has an open front. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The holder of claim 7 wherein the cartridge rack is forwardly and rearwardly translatable in the base at any or no tilt of the cartridge rack. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The holder of claim 1, wherein cooperation of the stop resting against the bottom face of the base, and the opposing lateral pins in the inner slots, limit the tilt of the cartridge rack in a tilted position less than vertical. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The holder of claim 1, wherein the stop comprises a sloped surface sloping downward and rearward at the rear of the cartridge rack and facing upward and rearward towards the bottom face of the base. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The holder of claim 10, wherein cooperation of the sloped surface resting against the bottom face of the base, and the opposing lateral pins in the inner slots, limit the tilt of the cartridge rack in a tilted position less than vertical. ### Claim 12 A brewing cartridge holder, comprising: a generally horizontal base attachable to a bottom surface of a cabinet, the base comprising: opposing parallel vertical side walls on each side of the base, the walls having a top edge; a generally horizontal ceiling attached to the vertical side walls at the top edges of the vertical side walls, the ceiling having a generally horizontal bottom face; opposing generally horizontal inner slots in inside surfaces of the vertical side walls reaching from rear to front of the vertical side walls; and an open front; a cartridge rack comprising; a body for retaining brewing cartridges; opposing lateral pins near a rear end of the cartridge rack residing simultaneously in both horizontal inner slots of the base, the opposing lateral pins slidable in the horizontal inner slots to translate the cartridge rack forward and rearward between a rear position and a forward position, and the cartridge rack tiltable to a tilted position about the lateral pins in all positions of the cartridge rack in the base between a position proximal to the rear position and the forward position; and a stop at the rear of the cartridge rack; the cartridge rack retainable in a rearward generally horizontal position in the base by cooperating magnets at forward ends of the base and the cartridge rack; and wherein cooperation of the stop resting against the bottom face of the ceiling of the base, and the opposing lateral pins in the inner slots, limits the downward tilt of a forward end of the cartridge rack in the tilted position. ### Claim 13 A brewing cartridge holder, comprising: a generally horizontal base attachable to a bottom surface of a cabinet, the base comprising: opposing parallel vertical side walls on each side of the base, the walls having a top edge; a generally horizontal ceiling joining the vertical sidewalls at the top edges of the vertical side walls, the ceiling having a generally horizontal bottom face; opposing generally horizontal inner slots in inside surfaces of the vertical side walls reaching between rear and front of the vertical side walls; and an open front; a cartridge rack comprising; a body for retaining brewing cartridges; opposing lateral pins near a rear end of the cartridge rack residing simultaneously in both horizontal inner slots of the base, the opposing lateral pins slidable in the horizontal inner slots to translate the cartridge rack forward and rearward between a rear position and a forward position, and the cartridge rack at any tilt of the cartridge rack and tiltable from a generally horizontal position to a tilted position about the lateral pins in all positions of the cartridge rack in the base between a position proximal to the rear position and the forward position; and a stop at the rear of the cartridge rack comprises a sloped surface sloping downward and rearward at the rear of the cartridge rack and facing upward and rearward towards the bottom face of the base; wherein: the cartridge rack is retainable in a rearward generally horizontal position in the base by cooperating magnets at forward ends of the base and the cartridge rack; and cooperation of the stop resting against the bottom face of the ceiling of the base, and the opposing lateral pins in the inner slots, limits the downward tilt of a forward end of the cartridge rack to less than 90 degrees in the tilted position.
