These days, you can choose from all sorts of coffee makers ranging from basic carafes to high-end espresso machines to get your fix. If you want the extra brew strength selector you can get it by modeling up in the Hamilton Beach line of Flexbrew machines. keurig k mini coffee maker Flexbrew model number still costs almost half that of the K-Mini Plus and although it’s slightly larger it offers you regular strength and strong brew options. You can see more k-cup coffee makers with a “strong button” here if you are interested.
Just like with other coffee maker reviews, I would love to remain honest in this Keurig K-Mini coffee maker review. Some of my friends carry this coffee maker with them on vacation. Instead of using a hotel coffee maker , they use their own beloved coffee maker to brew delicious coffee. Both machines are compact but, confusingly, the K-Mini Plus is slimmer than the K-Slim!
The temperature of the brew consistently sat between 160 and 170 F degrees. That’s not terrible, but it is below what experts consider hamilton coffee Maker the perfect brewing temperature. This temperature also gets lower if you try to brew one cup immediately after another.
It has both plastic and stainless steel elements with a black and silver 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. When you press both buttons at once, it initiates the self-cleaning cycle. The K Mini Plus includes storage for up to nine K-Cups, which the K Mini does not have. It also adds a strong brew button that lets you control your brew strength, unlike the original.
Reflects how quickly the machine produces a second cup. The machine itself will need descaling every few months, but this is quite standard and easy enough to do. You can have the standard keurig single cup drip coffee makers black, a popping pink mini Keurig, a lovely slate gray version, and gorgeous turquoise is also available. The turquoise is the priciest by far, but it looks amazing on any sideboard.
Based on general pricing and size considerations however I’d recommend most everyone get a Chulux. If however you want extra features like Bold settings or better casing then the K-Mini Plus is probably worth it. It’s still tiny and will work better than the others for a longer time due to quality enhancements.
