This Keurig K-Mini Plus Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker was purchased as a gift. The recipients were more than delighted with it. Their comments were: "WOW, I didn't realize that I hadn't had a hot cup of coffee in a long time. It is fast, easy and convenient to use. And, it looks great on my counter". I am so pleased that I chose this as their gift.

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

I gave it four stars because it's a bit loud. I ordered another originally and it made so much noise I called customer service. They were happy to replace it, but it's still louder than the other two Keurigs I own. Not enough to send it back. It's for our RV so I'm ok with it.

I owned the K Mini Plus for less than 6 months and gave it limited use during that time. Either an internal electrical fuse or circuit breaker malfunctioned, since one day it just wouldn't turn on. I alerted the Keurig company via a phone call. After taking some pictures of the unit and following some email instructions, I was instructed that a new identical unit will be shipped to me at no charge. I would hope that this new unit will function longer and give me better service. I reserve my opinion on this new unit until proof of service.

This is a decent lower priced keurig I got during the Walmart sale for $50. I think $50 is the most I would pay for it. You need to use a bottled water or something with a pouring spout to pour your water in each time. I tried to just dump a cup of water in from a mug and it spilled everywhere. It does take a few minutes to brew so be patient. It takes up to 2 min.

the first one I bought turn out defective, when I called to return and possibly get another one. It took several days to have somebody return my call and then I decided to log in to my account and so another that was better, a bit more expensive and decided I wanted that one. However, the replacement was already sent to me and even after I had called to request a change. Not happy with the service.

I drink very little coffee but i like to have it when people stay the night that do or if inwant the occasional cup.Its perfect for my needs. It holds enough water for one lg cup. It takes up very little space which is something I have very little of and its cute!

This is the SECOND time I’ve purchased this model and BOTH times it quit working in less than a month! I will not purchase another, nor can recommend anyone else buy it. The first time we chalked it up to an electrical surge that may have caused the problem and decided that was on us. The second time it just quit on the FIRST USE and I knew it was this model!

This smaller version of Keurig really works. This is our first time really using one and we are setting it up for our Airbnb usage. It makes very hot coffee! Easy to use instructions are real easy. Can hold up to 12 oz of water, and what I like about it it has a stronger Brew button that you can also use. Slim style version doesn't take up very much space plus it has a storage space in the front that you can use when the coffee pot is not in use.

I NEVER RECEIVED IT I was careful to change my shipping address before ordering the coffeemaker. You, however shipped it to my old address in Michigan. I frantically tried calling you, filled out your form, tried emailing you. NOTHING!! You went and shipped it to the old address. The new owner, who we didn't get along with during the home sale, is now enjoying our $80.00 coffeemaker. Your survey request is the first contact I received from you. So, based on that, what do you deserve between 1-5?
