It brews very neat coffee, and a prominent brand stands behind the quality of this coffee machine. For such a small coffee maker, I was impressed with what Keurig K-Mini could accomplish. It brewed perfectly fine coffee quickly and conveniently.
The “Strong Brew” function makes all the difference for coffee enthusiasts who enjoy a strong drink. Meanwhile, the removable water reservoir cuts out a lot of hassle while cleaning the coffee maker. Finally, the K-Mini Plus’s pod container is a welcome addition, too.
Keurig has addressed these concerns by saying that their specifications require that k-cups pods be constructed from plastic which does not contain BPA or phthalates. They also added that the temperature of the water dispensed in Keurig brewers is well below the melting and softening points of the pod materials. What that means is that there should be no plastic leaches from the pod into the beverage. Keurig fans will appreciate K-Mini’s clean and modern design. A small size makes it perfect for a variety of spaces . It’s a great option for single coffee drinkers and those who want a small and compact machine on a budget.
If I don’t get a new one for free I will not recommend and not buy another Keurig. I will also post on the Keurig website about my troubles. At the time of publishing, the black version Keurig K-Mini was the most affordable. However, looking at historical data, the price seems to fluctuate between different colors. Oasis and Studio Gray can be much more affordable than Black.
The Sboly is comparable to the K Mini Plus in size, and it actually weighs less. It has both plastic and stainless steel elements with a black and silver Keurig K-Mini design that suits most kitchens. The one-button operation makes it as easy to use as the K Mini, with separate buttons for ground coffee and K-Cups.
This is common on many budget coffee makers and many Keurig coffee machines, so it should be neither difficult nor overly expensive to add. Perhaps this should be another feature distinguishing the K-Mini Plus from the K-Mini. That said, given how quickly this machine heats and brews, it isn’t a huge sacrifice to start from scratch in the morning.
Keurig K-Mini and K-Mini Plus are aimed squarely at those with limited countertop space. You can also use the My K-Cup universal filter with this model.
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. So, not only does the K Mini perform for a long time, but it performs well. When you brew with this Keurig model, you get fast results and a great flavor. Despite the fact that it’s made from plastic, the design of the machine does not impact the taste.
With the reusable My K-Cup, you can use any ground coffee in your K-Mini brewer, which has three big advantages versus a pre-packaged coffee pod. By sliding out the removable drip tray, you can get up to 7 inches of clearance beneath the brew spout. The crown jewel of the Keurig 2.0 pod-scanning system, feature-rich K500 series brewers offer 11 brew sizes and massive 80 oz reservoir. Now discontinued, we recommend the Keurig K-Duo Plus instead.
