Saying that, the K-Mini might be best for those who already know they enjoy K-Cup coffee pods and want the single-serve coffee pod experience at home. However, the best Keurig experience we’ve tested has been with the K-Cafe and the K-Elite. The K-Mini is a slender Keurig machine that excels at its one function of brewing pod coffee. Its power cord storage makes it extra portable, while its one-cup reservoir saves space where it matters.
Therefore, if you prefer strong coffee, the K-Mini Plus is by far your best option. 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. The good news is that this model isn’t a Keurig 2.0, so you won’t have to worry about it failing to read your K-Cups. Additionally, there are still concerns regarding the safety of single serve brewers, though, which are believed to be prone to growth of mold, algae, and bacteria. On the other, the practice showed me that is made mostly with plastic (and, unfortunately cheaply-made plastic).
You simply fill the water reservoir up to the 6-, 8-, 10-, or 12-ounce line, turn it on, insert a K-Cup, and press the large glowing button to start brewing. On the larger brewers with full-size reservoirs, you are confined to pre-programmed drink sizes – usually, 6 oz, 8 oz, and 10 oz. You can also feel confident you’re brewing with fresh water every time . Rest assured that the coffee maker is a different story.
Cord storage keeps your coffee corner tidy, and since it’s much lighter than other Keurig models it’s easy to move around. The T55 is a high-quality brewing system with reliable construction. Not only does it brew coffee super quickly, but it can also make espresso and cappuccinos. The water reservoir is removable, holds more water, and has a water filter offer. This machine is larger than the K Mini, though, so it may not be ideal if you don’t have a lot of counter space.

The K-Mini can’t brew coffee at consistent or appropriate temperatures, and even at its best, its coffee tastes similar to what you’d find at a cheap diner. The K-Mini is pretty barebones as far as Keurig machines go. It features two buttons — one to power it on and the other to brew — and a water reservoir fit for up to 12 ounces.
The brewing temperature was not hot enough for my taste, and the flavor lacked depth. The Cuisinart Coffee coffee maker can be a great choice for space-constrained homes, offices and even dorms. Some of my friends take this coffee maker on vacation. This machine is less than 5 inches wide, and weighs about 4.5 pounds. The Keurig K-Mini coffee machine is among the best machines for coffee lovers who do not need or want to learn ins and outs of coffee brewing. But the problem is that K-cups can get expensive, really fast.
