The bottom line is that the Keurig Mini is very simple. This is mostly a good thing, especially if you need coffee to function in the morning. There are only two buttons — a power button and a brew button — plus a curved light that blinks to tell you the machine is ready to brew. The Keurig Mini is a sleek, compact machine that will fit on even the most crowded kitchen counters. It’s available in four colors, including pink and green, and operates using a single silver button on the top.
Meanwhile, brewing tea takes a whole lot longer than that. Even white tea takes 1 to 2 minutes to completely brew, which is the shortest brewing time of all the teas. Even if sticking a tea bag into a Keurig Hamilton Beach worked, I doubt the tea brewed would be delicious. Like other good coffee makers, do not use the Keurig for any other purpose than it’s intended for. Let’s just stick to steeping tea bags in a mug or teapot.
The Keurig Mini is Keurig’s first-ever, smallest brewer produced. It’s the predecessor and leader of the Keurig K Mini line of favorite coffee makers to come. Stepping up from the Keurig K Mini, the Keurig K Mini Plus has a removable water reservoir for spill-free refills.
At first, it isn’t easy to see much difference between the two Keurig coffee machines, which is where this article comes in. We’ll examine in detail what separates one from the other to help you decide which is the best coffee maker for your needs. We’ll also offer a brief comparison between the K-Mini Plus and another Keurig in the same price category, the K-Slim. Such is the case with the Keurig K-Mini and the Keurig K-Mini Plus.
There are lots of small k-cup coffee makers on the market these days and the K-Mini and K-Mini Plus are Keurig’s smallest units in their lineup. Naturally, it made sense to me to compare them against each other and to their predecessors, the K15 Mini, K10, and the ancient B31 Mini. 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.
Not only does it fit “in any small space,” they went on to add that this compact coffee maker has an impressive design that makes it look like a “much more expensive machine.” The K-Mini is designed with a one-cup reservoir, so to make a cup of coffee you just fill it with the desired amount and brew your beverage anywhere from 6 to 12 ounces. Plus, since it has an auto turn-off feature to help it shut off a minute and a half after your last brew, it saves on electricity drain.
◆ Your account minimum payment amount is determined by the purchases and balances on your WebBank/Fingerhut Credit Account. Yes, the coffee maker will automatically turn off 90 seconds after the last brew. This is the only reusable k cup that I found that fits in Mini and Plus units. Even Keurig’s reusable k cup and they don’t fit right.
