This container “plugs” right into the space where your coffee mug would normal sit during the brew cycle. 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.
The coffee maker is very low-maintenance and easy to clean. In 2018 & 2019 Keurig introduced a number of new styles to their line of coffee brewers. The new Mini and Mini Plus came out as well as the new K-Café machines which directly competes with Nespresso… If you plan to move your brewer to a different location, turn the brewer off, unplug it, and empty the water reservoir. If your brewer has been in an environment below freezing, please be sure to let it warm to room temperature for at least 2 hours before using.
There are water level marks on the side to determine the volumes, making filling the water tank straightforward. The coffee machines have identical brew units with a needle that pierces the K-Cup and injects water into the grounds. As well as coffee options, you can also brew tea, hot cocoa, and other gorgeous beverages. There are many K-Cup varieties, so whichever drink you want, you can probably find it. The Keurig K-Mini and K-Mini Plus designs are minimalist, with a large, circular brew button at the top. The latter also has the “Strong Brew” button we mentioned earlier.
Well, here I have a closer look at the k mini vs k slim debate. By the end, you’ll know which model is perfect for you. So simple, I showed my 95 year old dad how to use one Cuisinart Coffee time and he has used every day since. He had a bad habit of making a pot of coffee, then putting the unused portion on the stove in a pan that he warmed up later in the day.
However, the Keurig Slim doesn’t have the “Strong Brew” function offered by the K-Mini Plus, so it might not be the best option for you if you like robust coffee. The Keurig Mini is a good single-serve coffee Hamilton Beach maker, offering great value for its very appealing price. It’s easy to use, reasonably simple to clean, and produces tasty, hot coffee. You can take this off for easy cleaning or to use a taller travel mug.
After about 2 minutes, the brew indicator light will illuminate solid again and the beverage will begin to dispense. Brewing is complete when the brew indicator light is no longer illuminated. When complete, lift the handle and dispose of the used K-Cup® pod. Lift the water reservoir lid and pour the water into the reservoir. Do not fill past the MAX or below the MIN fill lines. Neither the k mini / k-slim feature an over ice button.
Do get yourself more counter space and enjoy a great cup of your favorite coffee at the same time. Homes with limited counter space need appliances that can fit into the game of tetris that is fitting everything on the counter. The K-Mini’s slim design makes it easy to squeeze between two things (it’s less than five inches wide), taken on camping trips, or stored away if counter space is really limited. Choose your serving size, add water, insert the K-Cup of the day, and a hot cup will be brewed in just a few minutes. It’ll be nice to have a fresh cup just waiting for you, and mornings are much less stressful without the Starbucks or Dunkin drive-through. Tired of throwing away all those one time use K-cups?
