The Mini Plus takes 1425 watts, so you’ll need to run it off at least a 1500 watt inverter and a 2000 watt one would be better . Equally, you can’t run it off a 1000 watt generator, it will have to be 2000 watts minimum. At first I couldn’t get the lid to close properly on the machine.

Refillable Pods.If you are going to get a refillable pod, the ones that are one piece are much easier to use and much less likely to have a part go missing. For things like powdered hot chocolate and tea , it’s just as easy to heat water in a tea kettle. Start it and it makes coffee on its Hamilton Beach own — no standing watch to add more water to a drip cone or turn down a percolator. There’s been a lot of talk of late about the enormous waste of disposable single-use pods. While competitor Nespresso includes an envelope for you to return your used pods for recycling, Keurig does not.

Those K-cups are hot, and your tender little hands don’t want to remove them one at a time. With the same footprint as the K-Mini but with those extra features, buy the K-Mini Plus.
