Those plastic ones aren’t reusable, and so combine the hassle of filling with the environmental problems of throw-aways. I have the Keurig, and I use it for my instant coffee in the cup…works both ways..just lift handle and back down. Would be tough to use if conditions were boisterous — you’d have to hold the cup in place or perhaps loop a bungee around the machine and cup to hold it. No need to keep coffee in a Thermos — just make another cup when you want it. I’ve gotten some questions about a Keurig brewer as well as hearing from a couple of people who are using them and loving them.
Reservoir – The compact reservoir placed at the back of the k mini can easily be accessed from the top easing the refilling of water. Sadly, the reservoir of the k mini is not removable. Size – The device is less than 5″ wide making it perfect for a small kitchen with little space. Perfectly able to blend in with any countertop arrangement. Removable drip tray – This makes it easier to clean off accidental spills and overflows. The K Mini and K Slim are less than 5 inches wide making them perfect for use in small places.
In this review, we’ll look at what you can and can’t expect from this simple brewer, and how it stacks up against its more affordable base model, the K-Mini. Although the Sboly single-serve is not a Keurig machine, it is compatible with K-Cups. So, you can invest in a more affordable option while still enjoying the convenience and flavor of a K-Cup. This machine also works with ground coffee, so you can use any kind of coffee that you prefer. First, remove the water reservoir and fill it to the appropriate line.
The container holds nine K-Cup pods, while you can slide it out while brewing and slide it back in when you’re finished. Sometimes, you just really need a single cup of coffee without the fuss. That’s the idea behind the Keurig, the automated coffee dispenser that made its debut in 2004. You grab a pod, drop it into the machine, and press the big start button. Flash forward to 2019 and the Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker is the grown-up, teeny-tiny model for busy people. The Keurig K-Mini offers the convenience of a pod-based machine with a smaller form factor than even the best coffee maker models on the market.
If you’re a real person and not a spambot, I’d love to hear from you! Send me your ideas for interesting products and blog topics through this form. I’m a journalist, tech blogger, writer, TV producer, silversmith& Keurig K-Mini jewelry designer, foodie and world traveler. I blog, write for publications, and supply freelance writing services to Calgary, and the world. I have to say I fussed with how to operate this machine initially.
