Great little machine.
Love the color and the coffee this machine makes is perfect every time. Previously used an older Keurig machine that used to keep the water hot, so I did have to get used to waiting probably only a minute for it to start brewing. I plan on using this on trips as well, so I won't have to worry about trying to empty it out.

Love this coffee maker (but don't brew <6 ounces)
We love this unit for home and for our RV trailer. Nice and small, has option for stronger brew, and easy to move. For stronger brew: add water AT LEAST 6 ounces! Insert pod. Press Strong button and then the big "K" button. The unit pulls in the water, goes quiet for a minute or so, and then you hear the water being heated up. Then it brews at a higher temp and pushes out the coffee a little more slowly than the regular brew. Warning though: If you put in less than six ounces, the unit pulls in the water, goes silent, and then turns off, leaving the water inside the unit. To fix this, add a little more water, and repeat the process. After a lot of confusion, I did the following test. 5 ounces made the unit draw the water in and turn off. I tried again with 4 ounces, and it drew the extra water in and then made a coffee with 9 ounces. I like this unit better than the nespresso we had before. Plus we can use refillable pods on the Keurig.

Stronger coffee!
Received on 1/28, got it up and running in minutes. The device is super lightweight and this can be both + and - but overall its better to be able to move it around with ease. The strong coffee feature is my favorite because I always thought it needed a bit more kick. Slim design means it fits almost anywhere.

Simple compact unit
I bought this unit to replace a larger unit. The first one worked for a couple of months. The company replaced it with the current one. If it continues to function I’m happy with it. Time will tell I guess. Great in theory, size and function, simple to use. A little noisy but you know when it’s done.

Keurig Mini
This is the second replacement for a mini I bought about 18 months ago. We make 3 cups of coffee daily. The original one purchased did not last, it was replaced under warranty. The second one lasted about 5 months. Both started not running water very hot then once coffee pod was placed, had put put the cover on many times to try the button to restart. If this one dies, I will be looking for another brand. I had a full size Keurig for many years, gave it to a friend as we moved to a condo and I wanted a smaller size. Very dissatisfied with this model, wonder if there is an inherent problem with it.

Fine
The coffee maker is fine, but my purchase experience was extremely disappointing. I have written to you twice to address the issue, but this is the only time I've heard from Keurig. I gave my email address to save 15%. I got nothing. So I paid far more for this machine than probably everyone else on the planet.
This is definitely not what we like to hear. For immediate assistance, we highly recommend you reach out to our Consumer Care team at 866-901-2739. They will be happy to assist you.

Mixed Feelings
My original K-Mini Plus was a gift. I only used it 3 times and water stopped dispensing. Great Customer Service replace with a new unit. I have only used the new one a few times and have to hold the arm down to make it work. Maybe the larger models work better, but this small one needs work.

Unit doesn't work
Unit does NOT work. Followed the step by step start up instructions. The indicator light does not light up and after 2 minutes the unit just powers down without brewing. :-( Purchased for use in our RV. Thankfully I ordered well in advance so I can return for a replacement. Love the color, too bad the quality wasn't there.

K-mini Plus: Pluses and Minuses
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
