The K-Slim also doesn’t have the pod storage container and is only available in black. This contrasts with the K-Mini Plus, which is available in six colors and has a container. Without the “Strong Brew” feature, the water travels through the grounds at a standard flow rate. However, using the “Strong Brew” feature, the water spends longer in contact with the coffee grounds thanks to a slower flow rate.
The price per cup of coffee isn’t quite up there with a Starbucks cappuccino, but it’s not that far behind, either. Not to mention how environmentally unfriendly all those single-use plastic pods can be. So you’re in the market for a new coffee maker, but you’re not interested in expensive or overly complicated contraptions designed to serve a small army. It can be frustrating and time-consuming to find the right coffee maker that fits your lifestyle – but that’s where Keurig comes in.
First “cleaning” brew & first cup of coffee was fine, then it failed to empty the water reservoir completely for the second cup. Several test runs were irrational; some brewed, others didn’t. Meanwhile, the K-Mini Plus brews between six and 12oz of coffee, determined by how much water you pour in the tank. This affects the overall flavor because the K-Slim cannot brew less than 8oz and doesn’t have the “Strong Brew” function.
Like its predecessor Keurig Mini, the brewer has a single cup reservoir. You can brew any cup size between 6-12 ounces depending on how much water you pour into the tank. A single cup reservoir Cuisinart Coffee ensures that the water is always fresh, but it will require some extra time for heating the water for each cup. The reservoir can be removed from the base so it’s easy to rinse and refill.

The drip tray is removable, so you can take it out to make room for your favorite travel mug up to 7 inches tall. While it didn’t score the highest spot on our Keurig machine Keurig K-Mini buying guide, it still holds its own as a premier single serve coffee appliance. It takes just over two minutes for the K-Mini to warm up and brew a single cup of coffee.
Conveniently, it has transparent sides so that you can see how much water you’ve added. This can be a little hard to see from the front, however. The Keurig Mini is a sleek, compact machine that will fit on even the most crowded kitchen counters. It’s available in four colors, including pink and green, and operates using a single silver button on the top. With the product reviews, I post links where you can shop for those products. If you buy through those links, I will receive compensation.
This is great news for people who like drinking their coffee in larger volumes, or want to brew more than 6oz of coffee for whatever reason. With this coffee maker, it’s all about enjoying coffee, as opposed to indulging in the coffee brewing process. I did not need any advanced skills or knowledge in order to brew a neat cup of coffee. If you really like this model but you want a bigger water tank, they now make Keurig K-Slim. It looks exactly like K-Mini Plus, has 3 cup sizes, but comes with a 46 ounce removable water tank. 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.
I specifically bought this for a legally blind person to use. He is able to use his mug to measure the water and can listen for it to brew.
