One of the main programmable features that this coffee maker is missing is a timer. Many people, especially those who get up early for work, like to program their coffee maker the night before to automatically brew for them. For a while the K15 was a very popular model with consumers but the mug height issue was a drag as was the ability to brew larger cup sizes as was the machine’s durability. The last main difference between the K-Mini and the K-Mini Plus is that the plus version comes with an extra storage container that can hold up to 9 k-cups.
That being said, the k mini is still able to make an amazing cup of coffee. While not quite as rounded as the k-slim, you’ll give love the taste. Travel mug friendly – The model has enough clearance to perfectly accommodate a 7” travel cup. This means Keurig K-Mini that you don’t have to first brew your coffee onto a mug before transferring it to your travel cup. If you are looking for a small coffee maker which can fit in your crammed countertop then the k-slim and k mini are going to be the perfect solution.
The main difference is that the K-Mini Plus has a removable water tank, making it easier to refill and clean. If it’s ever crossed your mind that you may want to make a carafe of coffee and a cup of coffee all at the same time, then the K-Duo is definitely for you. When we say that the K-Duo does it all, we mean that very literally. The K-Elite is certainly not the cheapest Keurig model, but with all of its sweet features, it’s easy to see why it comes with a steeper price tag. The K-Elite comes with a massive 75-ounce reservoir, meaning that you can have at least 8 cups of coffee before you have to refill it. If you can use up an entire reservoir in a day, then we are seriously impressed by your commitment to caffeination.
With these, you’ll have to dump the water before storing and there is always some water left in the unit which could leak out in rough conditions or if the unit fell on its Keurig K-Mini side. Neither of these machines is top heavy and or prone to tipping over in normal conditions. Both weigh just under 9 pounds and are about 11″ high, 7″ wide and 11″ deep.
It doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, but if you’re considering buying it, you should think of that as part of its appeal. It’s easy to use, and there is very little that can go wrong. The Keurig K-Mini is less than 5 inches wide, which is perfect for a small coffee machine in small spaces. It brews either 6- or 12-cup sizes and has a one-cup reservoir that needs to be refilled each time you brew. You can remove the drip tray to fit a travel mug, and it has cord storage. You can also use refillable K-Cups with this machine.
