Keurig K-Mini Plus Single Serve Coffee Maker

Absolutely love this little coffee maker it doesn’t take up as much space on the counter very attractive I got the gray great value for the money had Keurig in the past but I think this is my favorite

I’ve had two different Keurigs and used many others over the years, so I knew what I preferred in a replacement when my last one stopped working properly.

I wanted one that’s easy to clean and energy efficient, so I didn’t want one with a big reservoir. They’re harder to keep clean, and I’m not keen on using water that’s been sitting out. From what I’ve read, those don’t let you brew unless it’s more than half full – even when there’s plenty for a cup. That means, either you dump what was left (wasting water) or top it off. Either way, constantly leaving water in it leads to bacterial growth and mineral deposits which require more frequent cleaning than the small per-use reservoir like this Keurig. To me, it’s not worth the trade-off.

With this machine, I simply pour in enough filtered water for a cup of coffee. The removable reservoir is a nice feature (and wide, rather than narrow & deep, making it easy to clean). I’ve removed it to fill for a brew & had no issue with it but find it easier to just use a measuring cup.

The larger res versions also tend to keep the water heated constantly, which is how they manage to brew a cup so quickly. It’s fairly wasteful, especially since we only use this for 2 cups a day, and it’s still only about 2 min.

As some reviewers say, it is a bit noisy at the end of the brew – louder than my older one-cup models – but honestly nothing to complain about and quickly done. The functionality is a huge improvement over the older models. Add your water & your k-cup (in any order, unlike the old ones) and press the big button. This is much easier to clean, as well. And more attractive.

I do not find the pod storage container to be useful, so it just takes up space in my cabinet for now. Even if I used normal k-cups, I feel like it would be too small & fiddly for storage. I adore San Fransisco Bay OneCUP pods – just as easy & no plastic. And the taste is amazing – check them out.

Great for small areas but, also makes great hot coffee. It makes one cup at a time. I bought the Cardinal Red to brighten up my kitchen – it’s fun and makes me smile in the morning. I also like the option for “strong” coffee – the water runs though the pod more slowly hence, more flavor. I suggest not leaving the pod in the coffeemaker once it’s finished – discard it after use otherwise it tends to clog the prong. I wish the cord was a tad longer – it measures 24-25 inches – I thought it would be longer but, found a place where it works just fine. It’s a bit noisy but, only for a minute or two – the good coffee it makes…..is worth it. It doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles but, for me, I just want simple to make- good coffee in the morning and this is perfect. Arrived on time in perfect condition. Hope this helps.

I love the color and I use it every morning the last 3 years

(1) great coffee
(2) I expect it will be easy to clean, because the reservoir is removable. The old Keurig grew mold in its fixed reservoir, which was nasty.
(3) Kind of noisy. The old Keurig let the water dribble into the heating station. Very quiet. This one keeps water in the reservoir until I push the “brew” button. I like that. But when I “brew” the machine sucks the water from the reservoir, it is a bit noisy.
(4) the “brewing” flashing arc is pretty hard to see flashing is taking place. The light flashes from medium white to bright white, which is not much of a contrast. But then, the “brewing” light isn’t something I tend to look at in the first place.
(5) The end of brewing is also kind of noisy, as the last drops are pushed through the K-cup.
(6) Noticeably slower, overall. I feel the water heats faster, but that the actual brewing is slower. It wasn’t important enough to dig out my timer.
Final thoughts: better and worse that the old machine. Most important, the coffee tastes great. Hoping cleaning is easier, when the time comes.
