See this post for more on how the “strong” button works on a Keurig. I have personally purchased all three units and I have used each of them quite regularly . You see, I love coffee and I run a coffee blog, so this kind of experiment is right up my alley and is pretty fun for me. I Keurig K-Mini actually like the clearance myself and the machine is great for low cabinetry but the build quality is definitely suspect. In recent years they also made the older Keurig Mini which was sold under three different model numbers based on the year they were manufactured (K15/K10/B31).
The K-Supreme Plus comes with a digital display screen, making it easier than ever to brew your favorite cup. Just insert your favorite K-cup pod and press a button on the interface to choose from 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12-ounce sizes. It’s also travel mug-friendly once you remove the drip tray, so you’re set for literally any situation. Unlike other Keurig models, the K-Supreme Plus enables back brewing, meaning that you can brew a second cup right after your first without having to wait for your water to reheat. Like its predecessor Keurig Mini, the brewer has a single cup reservoir.
To add to the machines’ versatility, both are compatible with the My K-Cup universal reusable filter, so you can use your own beans rather than rely solely on the availability of K-Cups. The top of the Keurig K-Mini Plus has a “Strong” button. It may seem a small difference, but this is pivotal to the brew quality.

The price-to-value ratio on this one is just okay at best, so even if you can afford it, you may prefer to spend the same amount of money on a machine that offers a few more features. The K Mini Plus can brew any kind of 1.0 K-Cup that you prefer, but it can’t help you with any kind of specialty coffee drinks.
