By using fresh water each time it makes the best coffee. You won’t be sorry by purchasing this style of Keurig. The removable drip trays in both models comes in handy here as you can just remove the whole plate after a spill and wash it over running water in the sink. Because of their Keurig K-Mini small designs, there are fewer parts to keep cleaning. Keurig and their assortment of independent k cup makers has been the pinnacle of coffee makers for over a decade. Their machines are known to be reliable, long-lasting, and able to produce the perfect cup every single time.
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. Place your mug under the spout, removing the drip tray if necessary. Press the brew button and wait for your coffee to flow into your mug. Open the top of the machine and place your K-Cup inside.
You won’t find a timer or clock, and there’s no way to program sizes or brew strengths. When we tested it, we also found it to be pretty noisy, which the sleepyheads in your family may not appreciate. The Keurig Mini is compatible with all regularly-sized K-Cup pods. It doesn’t work with K-Carafe, K-Mug, Vue, or Rivo pods.
You can enjoy delicious coffee in your office or even in an RV. Also, the machines each have a 24in the cord, which fits snugly in the cord storage at the back. Nevertheless, if you value convenience, you would do well with the Keurig K-Mini. Fill the water tank up, pop in a pod and leave your mug on the drip tray for a minute.
This gives you the ability to fill the water up at the sink rather than at the machine. Both the K-Mini and the Plus version use identical internal components and styling. They both give you cord storage, needle and funnel removal, drip tray removal but the Plus version gives you a couple extra features.
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.
