I was always concerned about my bigger Keurig having a reservoir that cannot be emptied and the mildew that was forming from the water inside that just sits. With this mini, you just pour in the water you need for that serving and very little water sits inside the machine after use which can cause issues :)
The size is perfect - a great space-saver. However, the k-cup grounds kept stopping up in the dispenser pin! We had to take apart and clean with a paper clip (unplugging first, of course). Finally it just stopped working. I've had it less than a year. VERY DISAPPOINTED in this product!
It is the right size for me and takes up very little space and makes great coffee. So glad I purchased this one. Even though I have the regular size Keurig for when I have company but love this one when it's just for me.
This thing is terrible... it takes 3 or 4 tries to just make a cup of coffee. Received this as a gift for the holidays. Turn it on, put new water in, put a new pod in, press 'GO' ... then nothing. it powers off after 30 seconds. Power it back on, add more water, open and close the pod thing (since it didnt brew coffee), press 'GO' ... and nothing again. eventually you add more than 12 oz water and it work - overfills your coffee cup and highly dilutes the brew. i'll just stick to my aeropress - at least that works every time
This k-cup single serve coffee maker works well. I was disappointed in the material and color of the coffee maker. It appeared to be a bright red when I looked at it online, but the color is almost a mix between orange and red. The material is a rough plastic. I was expecting it to be more of a smooth material. Since it does not match my other red appliances, I put it in the panty out of sight after each use.
