Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker, Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Brewer, 6 to

It is perfect for homes and offices with space constraints (e.g. city apartments, offices, dorms, hotels). Some of my friends use their own K-Mini while on vacation, instead of using coffee makers at the hotels. On a related note, coffee makers compatible with k-cups are typically more expensive. Keurig holds a prominent position in the market place, and dictates the prices. On one hand, Keurig claims that all the plastic its coffee machines and K-pods are made of, is FDA approved and BPA free, and hence, safe to use. For such a small coffee maker, I was impressed with what Keurig K-Mini could accomplish.

Fill your mug with water (remember, not distilled!) and pour the water into the water tank at the back of your coffee maker. If you want something other than coffee, you can find pods for those. There are teas, hot chocolates, and even iced coffee pods available. A cleansing brew is important to clean the machine from any factory dust or other particles before your first cup. I would never push somebody to go with any machine that uses pods, both for environmental reasons and as a matter of flavor. You would do better to find something that allows you to use proper ground coffee.

If your coffee maker stops working, we do recommend getting in touch with Keurig as soon as possible. Keurig might be able to replace a malfunctioning coffee maker either free or at a small fee. I was able to remove the drip tray to accommodate a taller travel mug under the spout.

He pod door, located top and toward the back, works best when the unit is not located below upper kitchen cabinets.

Keurig K-Mini brews a perfectly satisfying cup of coffee. Though there’s no big fanfare or sophistication in flavors, K-Mini can do its job well. Further, the brewing process is extremely simple, easy and convenient. Further, there have been some health issues concern regarding the k-cups. Keurig has addressed these concerns by saying that their specifications require that k-cups pods be constructed from plastic which does not contain BPA or phthalates. They also added that the temperature of the water dispensed in Keurig brewers is well below the melting and softening points of the pod materials.

Because of the nature of its single serve reservoir, it is not compatible with Keurig’s charcoal water filters either. We recommend using pre-filtered water when using this model. But… it’s an OK choice for those who value portability and just want to enjoy a quick cup of coffee every once in a hamilton coffee Maker while. The practical cord storage adds to its portability, making it even easier to move around the house or take with you on holiday. We do not know whether these users have cleaned or used the coffee maker properly. However, it is entirely possible that there were some malfunctioning models.
