These pods can run anywhere between $7 to $14 per 12-pack, the lower end being grocery chain branded pods and the higher end Starbucks branded. The K-Mini is compatible with reusable K-Cup pods, which can accommodate pre-ground coffee. Despite its small size, some reviewers have noted that this coffee maker isn’t much faster than a full-size version. However, they have noted that this mini version is “more hygienic,” especially since it only holds enough water for a single cup — meaning no excess water “sitting in it between uses.” These are still small numbers and for the price you probably won’t get better usability. The Flexbrew is the easiest machine in this list to clean and maintain for me by far.
Brand owner satisfaction ratings are based on the proportion of members who are extremely likely to recommend their single-serve coffee maker to their friends and family. As I attempted to show in this Keurig K-Mini coffee maker review, this is a small, basic but quite promising coffee maker compatible with k-cups. Keurig K-Mini coffee maker has a clean and sleek designed.
Its compact size makes it a step above the larger K-Classic, and its one-button brew cycle makes it the simplest machine in the Keurig line. While the K-Classic may have a larger water reservoir, the K-Mini basically performs the same job at a lower cost and with less counter space. Plus, it can brew K-Cups up to 12-ounces — the K-Classic has a cap of 10. Its stow-away power cord makes it easy to hide unwanted visual clutter and easier to bring the K-Mini along for a weekend trip.
I’m buying one for my college-bound child (the cheapest one, because he also wants a mini-fridge and books), because the dorm room is another great scenario. If you’ve chosen to live that pod life, a Keurig K-Mini is a small step toward full caffeine intake. Overall, we prefer the K-Mini Plus, as it offers better value for money and brews better-quality coffee. However, if you prefer a larger water reservoir, the K-Slim may still be the best option for you.
We would certainly recommend this product to anyone who doesn’t mind spending a couple of extra bucks. It’s reliable, produces quality coffee, and looks great on your countertop. 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.
It is still very low cost compared to the Keurigs and it is only slightly more expensive than the base unit Flexbrew unit. The Keurig model also heats and pumps water with the most power – 1470 watts. The Chulux and Mixpresso models only use 800 while Hamilton Beach and Chefman keurig single cup drip coffee makers use only 1000 watts. As a side note the Mixpresso is only 9.1 inches tall coming in at a close second while the Keurig is nearly three inches taller standing 12.1 inches high. Let’s get started with the reviews beginning with my video review which I’ve embedded below.
This range of drinks options is one of the main reasons that Keurig machines are second only to drip coffee makers in popularity in the US. Overall, the K Mini Plus is an excellent design from a well-trusted and beloved brand in the world of coffee. It’s the ideal solution for anyone who has minimal space, lives on their own, and just enjoys a good, old-fashioned cup of coffee.
If you can overlook the strange price hike, I would start by giving serious consideration to the three different colors available with the Keurig K-Mini. If you’re traveling elsewhere with it, make sure you get a good quality travel adapter. The Keurig K-Mini also has a small footprint, at 4.5 by 11.3 inches (though it’s quite tall, at 12.1 inches), further keurig k mini coffee maker reinforcing its unobtrusive and portable nature. Ground coffee in filter baskets is incredibly easy to work with and won’t end up doubling your own contribution to your local landfill with useless little plastic pots. It is efficient and unassuming, well-priced (you’ll get a decent amount of change from a hundred dollars), and is very (very!) easy to use.
