The Keurig Mini is Keurig’s first-ever, smallest brewer produced. It’s the predecessor and leader of the Keurig K Mini line of favorite coffee makers to come. Stepping up from the Keurig K Mini, the Keurig K Mini Plus has a removable water reservoir for spill-free refills.
It also comes in a half-dozen different colors to match your kitchen decor, whatever it is. At less than 5-inches wide, the incredibly slim and easy to use K-Mini Plus single serve coffee maker makes anywhere perfect for great coffee. It combines sleek design with space-saving convenience in a portable, stylish package that delivers fresh brewed, delicious coffee from your favorite K-Cup pods in minutes. The Cuisinart Coffee is less than 5 inches wide, which is perfect for a small coffee machine in small spaces.
Meanwhile, there’s a 6in gap between the drip tray and the coffee spout, which is ample for most coffee cups. However, if you want to brew the coffee into travel mugs when you’re on the move, you can take out their drip trays, offering an extra inch of clearance. There is one thing that makes this brewer different from other Keurig® models; there is no water reservoir. Before you scoff at that notion keep in mind, that means fresh water for each cup of coffee. This happens to be the only reason I prefer this unit. Not only does water not sit in the unit all week while I am hard at work in the real world, but winter storage is also a non-factor.
No, neither Keurig’s k slim or k mini have a water filter. You can easily get around this by filling the water reservoir in the k-slim or k mini with filtered water from a bottle or from your home filter. For a little more functionality, the K-Slim is ideal for your needs but it’s important to note that the k-slim is a little bigger. If you wanted the smallest coffee maker possible that is still able to make a great cup, the k mini is fantastic.
The power cord can be coiled into the back of the machine for easy transportation. If the item details above aren’t accurate or complete, we want to know about it.
All you need to do is open the lid of the brewer, insert the pod with your desired beverage, place your cup on the tray, then press the strong brew button. He pod door, located top and toward the back, works best when the unit is not located below upper kitchen cabinets. Mind you, it’s still accessible when located under cabinets, just more enjoyable to use when the space above the coffee maker. If you use a single serve coffee maker and a conventional coffee maker, this is the appliance for you. You won’t find any nice-to-haves here like timers, clocks, or brew strength adjustments.
