It includes the new multi-stream technology that ensures that the coffee grounds are perfectly brewed. Simple buttons – The control buttons are very easy to use a situated on top of the k mini coffee maker. The buttons also have LED backlights so you don’t have to worry about flicking on all the lights before using it. Delicious coffee squirted straight into your cup or travel mug. So long as you have the K-Cups, you can make all kinds of tea, coffee, and even hot chocolate. Overall, we prefer the K-Mini Plus, as it offers better value for money and brews better-quality coffee.

This machine includes pod storage that slides right into your brewer to hold nine of your favorite K-Cups when you’re not using it. It fits seamlessly under the spout to save you even more counter Keurig K-Mini space. The removable water reservoir can be refilled at the sink.You also get a “strong brew” option that is not available on the basic K-Mini. When you press the strong button the brew flow is slower resulting in a longer brew cycle but a more complete extraction – dare I say strong or bold.
However, it doesn’t come with a filter or a grinder, which might be a turn-off for coffee aficionados who prefer freshly ground coffee every morning. The machine has a strong brew button for a stronger flavor. Do you enjoy delicious coffee but find yourself limited on space? You may feel like you’re the only person in the world who needs a miniature yet stylish coffee machine, but trust us when we say you’re not alone.
