Compact Convenience For The Perfect Morning

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2024

The Keurig K-Mini promises to be a compact solution for coffee lovers with limited counter space, but does it deliver a brew that satisfies? I recently had the opportunity to put this miniature brewer to the test, and here’s everything you need to know.

The K-Mini boasts a sleek, minimalistic design that fits seamlessly into any kitchen, office, or even a small dorm room. Its simplicity is its charm, with a clean matte finish that is both modern and unassuming. Despite its small stature, the build quality feels solid and designed to last.

The K-Mini’s operation is straightforward, perfect for those who want their morning coffee without any fuss. Simply add fresh water to the reservoir for each brew, insert your favorite K-Cup pod, and hit the brew button. Within minutes, you have a hot cup of coffee ready to go. The convenience of the K-Cup pods means no measuring grounds or worrying about the mess, making it ideal for busy or on-the-go individuals.

Don’t let its size fool you—the K-Mini packs a punch when it comes to brewing a great cup of coffee. It accommodates various mug sizes up to seven inches tall by simply removing the drip tray. The coffee temperature is hot enough to extract the flavors effectively without scalding the coffee, ensuring a smooth and robust taste.

Cleaning the K-Mini is as straightforward as its brewing process. The removable drip tray and pod holder ensure you can easily access and wipe down areas prone to coffee splashes or spills. Descaling every few months, as recommended, will keep it in optimal condition.

Its compact size makes the K-Mini highly portable. Whether moving between home and work or going on vacation, this coffee maker is ideal for those who don’t want to compromise their coffee routine.
Priced reasonably, the K-Mini offers excellent value for those seeking a no-frills, efficient coffee maker that delivers consistently good coffee. It’s an ideal choice for singles, college students, or small households.

The Keurig K-Mini is an excellent choice for anyone with limited space who still wants the convenience and quick service of a modern pod coffee system. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of larger machines, its ease of use, consistent performance, and sleek design make it a worthy addition to any small space.

I love the size

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2024

I'm used to a larger Kuerig with cup option buttons. It was a small adjustment to just use the amount of water needed for the cup size or coffee strength. BUT I am NOT a fan of how to get the water heated and filling the cup. I've used the machine several times and STILL haven't figured it out. The light flashes signaling all that. Seriously? I prefer a button to heat the water then a button to fill my cup. I use it while working so I like to be able to walk away and keep working while the water is heating. Don't know if it's me not understanding the instructions, a design flaw or a combo of the two. Somewhat disappointed but I get my cup after a few moments of frustration and move on. If it wasn't for the size I'd go back to my bigger Keurig.

I loved it, but after 3 months Keurig is replacing it. See update

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2023

My first Keurig finally stopped working. My late husband and I had received it as a gift. It was small and really worked well. We had it eleven years, so it was time for a new one. I decided on the Keurig mini since it’s now just and I only use coffee pods this was perfect. Well it has a few quirks and I wondered if any other customers who purchased this mini Keurig had similar issues.
First it is loud when I first start it and it’s heating the water. Then as it’s dispensing the coffee into a cup small drops of coffee go all over and I’m wiping it up after I brew. No complaints I don’t mind that. It’s possible its splashing out of the cup as the coffee comes out quite fast. Lastly after you place the pod and pull the lid over it, it seems not to go down all the way. I hear the snap of the pod being opened on top and bottom, but there seems to be a small opening. It just close all the way as my old Keurig did. The coffee brews just fine but I’m curious about that.
Otherwise the Keurig mini is a great little, coffee, tea, cappuccino and hot chocolate machine. There are so many great K cups on the market you can never get bored.
Update November 12
The mini brewer stopped working I put water in, put the pod in, placed the cup, pushed the button to brew it took the water out of the reservoir but it didn’t brew. I tried again and nothing . To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. I’ve only had this three months and already it stopped working.
I called Keurig and they were helpful, they sent me an email with instructions how to get another one.
Honestly I’m not sure I want another one. I think there was something wrong with the unit because it was so noisy when I turned it on to brew. I’ll post when I get the replacement, which will be the exact same one! I didn’t want a fancy replacement just note this exact one, I offered to pay the difference to upgrade to a different mini brewer, but it’s under warranty so I have to get the same one. I’ll update when I receive it and try it it out.

The rear mud flaps do not fit the Model Y. The top clip and hole that goes through to a preexisting bolt do not line up so you can't have it flush. It was the case on both rear flaps.

I love all the Keurigs I have ever owned so far. This one is my favorite because of it's size and color and ease of use. I gave it 4 stars because it can be a little messy sometimes if you don't use a tall enough cup. I use the warm heart mugs and for some reason, the coffee doesn't all get into the mug.

Yep, it’s worth it. So easy, saves so much time and spares me the clean up. Takes up so little counter space. Seems very dependable, convenient and smart looking. If I were to ask for more I might start to feel like a ridiculously spoiled brat.

Only lasted 18 months

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024

Color: Studio GrayPattern Name: Coffee MakerVerified Purchase

Why 5 stars if it only lasted a year and a half? Because I only paid half price when I bought it during a Black Friday sale. If I paid full price, I’d give it only 3 stars. I used the heck out of this product - every single day, sometimes several times a day, so I’d say I got my money’s worth when paying only half the price. However, I still have my traditional coffee maker from nearly 20 years ago that is still going strong after an 18-month hiatus while using the keurig.

The keurig is very easy to use and to keep clean. Its simplicity in design also looks great constantly sitting on the countertop. The gray color is a nice match for a stainless steel kitchen color palette.

It is nice for single servings of coffee that each have a different flavor. Each cup takes about 2.5 minutes to brew after you hit the start button. However, if you want to brew multiple cups (ie: for guests), you’re better off with the traditional coffee maker, otherwise your first keurig cup is almost room temperature by the time your fifth keurig cup is ready; the only “drawback” to the traditional coffee maker is that everyone will have the same flavor. I would recommend the keurig iced coffee maker as it brews each cup MUCH faster (about a minute), and because you can put several cups worth of water in the water compartment, you can quickly make multiple cups each with their own unique flavor.

The keurig is definitely more expensive than a traditional coffee maker when factoring in the cost of all the coffee pods throughout the keurig’s lifetime. However, the keurig is still much cheaper than the “star” coffee shops … even after only 18 months.

This Keurig is amazing. It is easy to move and the color of it is was beautiful. I got the dark green. It is so nice for coffee, but also for hot water for tea. It is a little loud whenever all of the coffee brews out but if it is set away from bedrooms, it should be fine. I was just worried about it because I am in a single room dorm with other people. It is easy to use, though the compartment for water is not super big, it does the job. Overall, love it!

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2019

Color: BlackPattern Name: Coffee MakerVerified Purchase

Okay. So late last night I decided to order this smaller version of the Keurig Coffee Maker, because I’m short on counter space and I only make one cup of coffee a day anyhow. My new machine was on my front porch this afternoon. (Shop, select, pay, receive. The good, the bad, and the ugly.) Anyhow, I’ve decided to post a few photos and try to write an informative, helpful review, as I see there are some pretty negative, frustrated buyers of this product, and several questions listed that indicate those buyers did not do the very first thing they should have: READ THE LITTLE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET. Now, I must say, these few instructions could have been written a bit more clearly—but that’s par for the course these days, as practically nothing is made by English speaking people, so the instructions are someone else’s idea of the English language. So, I’ve posted some photos to aid in my attempt to make these instructions more “user friendly.”

Before I forget, I do have two negative comments on this product (aside from the less-than-clear instruction booklet): The first is that I feel it’s overpriced for what it is. I paid $83+ (including tax) for a little plastic gizmo that should sell for about half that. If it lasts as long as my “big boy” Keurig, which is at least five, maybe six years old, I suppose it’ll be worth it. The second issue is the cord. I do love the idea of the cord compartment ... however, the cord that comes with this machine is only about 18” long. (The cord compartment would have been a lot more useful with the big boy machine, which has a considerably longer cord.) As I don’t even need the full 18”, I stuffed some of the cord back in the compartment, then found that I’d shortened it more than I wanted, but when I tried to pull out a bit longer cord, I could only get another inch or so. Now I have about a 14” cord ... which I can work with, but some people might find that they’ll need a longer cord, so I thought I’d mention it.

As you can see from my first photo, the big boy Keurig is considerably larger than this new one (which measures 4.5” wide by 10 3/4” deep, the same depth as the big boy). Another photo shows a closeup of the side of the little clear plastic compartment (referred to in the instruction booklet as the “water reservoir”), which shows the amount of water—how many ounces—is being put into the water reservoir. You must put AT LEAST the minimum of 6 oz, or up to the MAXIMUM of 12 oz. This question of how much water to put in seems to have befuddled many purchasers: I cannot understand why. So long as it’s between the low water mark (6 oz) and the max water mark (12 oz), you’re good to go. HOWEVER MUCH WATER YOU PUT IN, IS THE SAME AMOUNT OF COFFEE THAT WILL POUR INTO YOUR CUP. Maybe it’s more easily understood this way: Use your coffee cup—whether it holds 6 oz or anywhere in between six and a maximum of 12 oz (my red and white cup that you see in one of my photos holds 8 oz, allowing about 1/2” to the very rim) to fill the water reservoir—and you’ll get that same amount of coffee in your cup. An 8 oz cup of coffee, using a coffee pod, makes (for me—I drink it black) a perfect, medium-strong cup of coffee.

Now, how to use your new machine: FIRST, as I said, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. The very first words printed in the booklet are, “Before You Brew.” You’re first going to make a cup of boiling water only—then your machine is “prepped” and ready to go. So, plug it in, then push the “Power Button.” (See my 2nd photo—the power button is that tiny dot at about the 1 o’clock position from the big, round, silver-colored circle with the big K in the center of it. That silver-colored circle is what is called the “Brew Button.”) When you press the Power Button (the little dot), after you’ve plugged in the machine, that dot will illuminate. Next, you lift the cover of the water reservoir, fill your coffee cup/mug with water and pour that water into the reservoir. (Check the measure on the side, to be sure you have somewhere between 6 oz and 12 oz in the reservoir.) Then lower the water reservoir lid and place your coffee cup on the drip tray.

Now, you’re going to lift and lower the handle where you would put a coffee pod—EXCEPT THIS FIRST TIME you’re not going to put in a pod, because you’re only going to make a cup of hot water, just to run some water through the machine to prep it.

Now that you have your water in the water reservoir, and your cup on the drip tray, and the “coffee pod compartment” handle has been lifted and lowered, you’re ready to “push the Brew Button.” Remember, the Brew Button is the big silver-colored circle. It depresses. I finally figured out that I had to hold it down with three fingers (I have small hands) for 2 or 3 seconds ... and then the “Brew Indicator Light” (a rainbow shape just above the Brew Button—see photo four) will “illuminate solid, then begin to pulse while the water is heating.” It will take a minute or so for the water to heat ... during which time the “rainbow-shaped” light will come on and fade, come on and fade, several times (what the booklet calls “pulsing”). Eventually, that Brew Indicator Light will stay solidly lit, and then the hot water will begin to pour into your cup. When that’s done, toss that water out, and you’re ready to make your first cup of coffee. Repeat all the steps, except this time, of course, insert a coffee pod before lowering the handle.

In summation, I don’t think it takes any longer to make one cup of coffee in this new single serve Keurig than it did in my larger water capacity model. Yes, you do have to put water in it each time and you do have to wait for that water to heat up ... but I had to wait a longer time for more water to heat up in my big Keurig. And the amount of time it takes for the coffee to pour into your cup is the same as in the larger model machine—also, the sound is about the same, not loud enough to wake anyone up in another room.

I like the extra space on my counter, and if this machine holds up as well as the other one, I think I’ll be happy with it. I do see some reviews that state their machines didn’t work after a short while ... if that’s the case with this one, I’ll be writing an update on my review.

Great Little Machine

Color: Dusty RosePattern Name: Coffee MakerVerified Purchase

Taste is fantastic! I ordered in the pink, wish it were a little less beige and more pink, but that is expected with “dusty rose”. Kind of a meh color. Also the mini does not come with the attached cup holder but i can use that spot to store a cup and something else to hold even more Kcups! Takes up virtually no space. If you don't want to wake up your entire household and are the early riser like me, it is great to just have it in the bathroom! It is small enough to take camping, but i think i will stick to my Aero Press for that as I am a tent camper. This would be great for a trailer or small RV.

True to Kuerigs reputation.

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024

Color: Studio GrayPattern Name: Coffee MakerVerified Purchase

I hate to be a snob, but Kuerig just gets it right. I've tried to cheap out with other brands and it never works out. Kuerig makes a nice, hot, consistent cup of coffee and I love it. I used to have the bigger unit with the water compartment on the side, but this time I went mini due to a lack of counter space. You do have to fill it up with water for each cup made, but mine is right near my sink so that doesn't bother me. The ONLY complaint I have with Kuerigs (and this is every model I've tried) is they are splashy. I think the tray is just a bit too low maybe? It's not outrageous, but it would be nice if they would fix that design flaw.
