Bought this as well as a 14oz Keurig Stainless Steel Travel Mug a few weeks ago. I am thrilled I can brew a cup of coffee directly into the Travel Mug by removing the base and best of all I have a mug of hot/very warm coffee for hours. I drink a little, do some work, etc. etc. and still have very warm coffee hours later!

K-Mini Plus: Pluses: Wonderful foot print for busy kitchen countertops! And if you grow tired of having water sitting in a reservoir attracting tiny bugs (or spiders) and lots of microbes and what-not, then the K-Mini Plus is a no brainer. But how to compare with it's larger cousins? Better footprint is only a beggining. The brew time is very good (and yes, it will NOT compare with the larger keurigs that "preload and heat" water as it is being used. But if you have several coffee drinkers in your house, then you are likely not looking at the K-Mini Plus (unless you get one of the reservoir models). Seriously, in a 2 minutes I have my coffee, I can wait that minute and 45 for the coffee to brew. Consistent water brewing temps is what makes Keruig a better option than cheaper alternatives. And the Plus gives you a "Strong Brew" button. Strong brew button simply causes the water to move more slowly during the brew cycle...and I find that certain types of coffee simply do better this way....and i am not a huge fan of what most people call "strong coffee". The STRONG button simply gives the coffee more time in contact with the beans, and that can be beneficial to certain blends. Experiment. I enjoy using fresh filtered water for each brew. Starting with chilled filtered water just makes the flavors more true. And while we all get "used to" the flavor of our tap water, as it sits in a reservoir, water is able to fester its contents a bit. Minuses: The top puncture pin is no longer metal, it is plastic. It can easily break, especially if you are not very careful with using those plastic or metal pods for using your own coffee. This is elevated due to the K-Mini's angle of attack (only the top moves, meaning that the angle is more pronounced). If your Keurig catches the edge of one of those brewing pods, the silicon "needle" will bend and then eventually break. make sure you fully seat your coffee pods first (before closing lid) and you will likely never have a problem. Another thing is to use the new Universal pod from Keurig (or one like it) where the top "hole" is scooped a bit and allows for that angle of attack. (Keurig: Are you really saving that much money by using a plastic injection pin?) There is no special "Clean Cycle" for occasional cleaning. And actually, I hear the newest ones have a way to do this now. That would certainly be a benefit if true. But, here is one tip to keep your coffee maker from clogging and giving bad brews: Don't use those plastic net-like coffee pods. First of all, they ARE NOT biodegradeable as they claim. But those nettings shed small bits of "fabric" into your coffee maker (and coffee, I suppose) and it clogs it up. Keurig now has a bad-boy list of brands just because of this: Names like Wide Awake, Cameron, and all the others that are making netted pods now. They are selling because people believe they are biodegradeable. I can assure you, only biodegradeable if you use professional biodegradable heated furnaces. I have an elaborate composting system and those "compostable pods" are still pristine a year and a half later. Better news: The standard "Plastic" coffee pods from major brands (most owned by Keurig, for example) are now recyclable and marked so on the cups. This is great! Get rid of your "netted" coffee pods and save yourself the frustration of clogged coffee maker with bits of fiber inside the needles. Worse yet, as that netting fiber shreds (just play with a netted pod for a few seconds and you will see the fibers) during brewing, what are you really drinking!? The last minus: The Sensors seem arbitrary. For instance, Keruig K-Mini won't let you brew smaller than 6 ounces. Why not!? If I want to put in 2 ounces of water and get a small dollop of coffee to use in a whip or something, why not!? Since the Mini-Plus choses water size by how MUCH WATER the USER puts into it, why have a minimum at all!? If they are fearful lower water amounts will cause more clogging for those putting sticky drinks in their K-Mini, then at least give us a switch to over-ride the "minimum" safety setting. And my first K-Mini didn't allow for less than 7 ounces of water, though it said it was 6 ounce minimum. Just give me a button to say "Brew it any way!" Of course, all Keurigs have always chosen the default minimums (6 ounces, 8 ounces, 10 ounces) but with the K-mini Plus, Keurig had the opportunity to give us real control over this, and yet they implemented this minimum enforces by sometimes faulty electronic sensors. Uggh. Yes, 90% of the time, I am making a cup of coffee more than 6 ounces, but this didn't have to be this way. Enjoy your K-Mini Plus! I do! JJ

Every K-mini i get whether it is free replacement or I pay for it, never lasts long. The machine after about 5 months starts to run slowly. I use your cleaning system too. Very poor construction. Will move on to a different coffee maker than Keurig.

I don't like who watered down my coffee has turned out with this Keurig. Even when utilizing the "Strong" option I'm not getting the taste I was getting with my bow broken 2.0. I'm using the same flavor of coffee and getting completely different results.

In less than one year, I needed to get my K-Mini Plus coffee maker replaced *three* times by Keurig (thankfully all under warrantee). In each case, the unit's water pump seemed to have failed, rendering the unit effectively nonfunctional. Given my experiences, I have serious questions/concerns about the quality and durability of Keurig coffee makers.

Just what I needed. No more standing water. I can now use spring water since I no longer waste water to eliminate the water that has been heated inside the coffee maker and standing for 24 hours like pond water on a hot summer day! I also love the strong button that I didn't even know about until I received it. Now I can enjoy flavored coffee that is a little stronger as I prefer a medium to bold roast.

I bought this as a backup, as 2 Keurig Supreme units failed within 1 month and 1 week of use respectively. (The 3rd Supreme is working well so far.) This K-Mini is as noisy and slow as molasses. I don't recommend this unit if you are used to any of the larger Keurig machines.

I love the size, but it’s confusing and doesn’t start brewing like my full size keurig does, when it starts flashing you think it’s ready and you hit the button nothing happens and then you wait and then you open it up and can’t understand why it’s not going and then all of a sudden it starts brewing so it is a little bit confusing.

Bought this a few months ago for our boat and for the first couple of months it worked great. Love the size and how quick and hot it brews however it died after just a few months. Fortunately under warranty and it was replaced but two weekends on the boat with no coffee. Really hope the replacement lasts a LOT longer or it’s back to the French press!!!

the quality of the coffee maker is superb, the coffee and other hot beverages are excellent. The size of the coffee maker is a bit large for travel but the convenience of making your own coffee your way makes it a winner. The only real draw back is the power cord. It is nice that you can stow it away but it is SO SHORT AS TO MAKE IT USELESS. You will have to take an extension cord with you to be able to reach an outlet. I could not believe someone would make such a fine coffee maker with so great a flaw on a simple thing as the power cord length. I would rate five stars except for this.
