You can see my reviews of many of the low cost k-cup coffee makers here. Empty the water reservoir before storing or transporting and take care to ensure that you store your brewer in a safe and frost free environment. When you prepare to use it after storage, we recommend rinsing the water reservoir with fresh water and descaling the brewer as detailed in the Descaling your Brewer section. While only 5-inches wide, the K-Slim sits a bit deeper into your counter, but offers some advanced elements such as a multi-cup reservoir and multiple brew sizes. It’s a brilliant combination of slender size and high-powered performance. Keurig and their assortment of independent k cup makers has been the pinnacle of coffee makers for over a decade.
This is absolutely critical for those who need that extra kick in the morning. The K-Slim also doesn’t have the pod storage container Hamilton Beach and is only available in black. This contrasts with the K-Mini Plus, which is available in six colors and has a container.
This will be easy to determine with the convenient levels marked right in the well of the unit. They are both very fairly priced, with the k mini being a little cheaper which is to be expected with the features it has. Both models are fairly easy to use as you’d expect from all Keurig models. Here we look at the small differences between them. Travel mug friendly – The device can fill a 7″ long travel cup with ease after removing the drip plate to add more clearance. Size – The device is less than 5” wide making it perfect for a small kitchen with little space.

Keurig is partnering with industry experts to incorporate more recycled materials into its manufacturing, so expect this to be just the beginning of a larger trend. K-Mini Plus coffee makers are available in five colors to suit any decor, from practical to wild. You can choose between matte black, cardinal red, evening teal, studio gray, and matte white. It’s an attractive and sleek design, with the chrome accent on the drip tray definitely classing it up versus the K-Mini. Better yet, the Keurig K-Mini coffee makers work with the My K-Cup refillable pod.
Despite the fact that it’s made from plastic, the design of the machine does not impact the taste. Because it uses K-Cups, the coffee is already Cuisinart Coffee perfectly ground and measured for the ideal cup of joe. The steps are as simple as inserting the cup and hitting the “go” button.
Rest assured that the coffee maker is a different story. It has an energy-efficient auto off feature that powers it down just 90 seconds after brewing, so you’re never wasting excess power. Better yet, the matte black casing of the K-Mini is now made from 30% recycled plastic.
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 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).
Reservoir – The fixed 46 oz reservoir placed at the back of the machine can easily be accessed from the top easing the refilling of water. It can also produce several coffee cups without the need to refill before every brew. Multiple cup sizes – This model offers three cup size options. This lets you choose the amount of coffee you like without wasting or compromising flavor. One cup reservoir – The device comes with a one-cup reservoir that you will need to refill each time before making a cup of your favorite drink.
