Ranked #6 in Best Single-Serve Coffee Makers

Keurig K-Mini Plus Single Serve Coffee Maker

3.6

4 sources1 derived$102.99as of Jul 31

The Keurig K-Mini Plus is built small for dorm rooms, apartments, and anywhere counter space is scarce. Reviewers noted the sleek design and simple operation, with the removable water reservoir and strength control as the standouts. Brewing is slow, and the machine splatters as it dispenses. Coffee quality is decent, though the environmental cost of K-Cups is still a mark against it. Portability and simplicity are the reasons to buy; brewing speed and advanced features are not.

Strengths

— Very compact design measuring just 4.5 inches wide
— Removable water reservoir is dishwasher-safe and easy to refill
— Offers regular or strong brew settings for coffee strength control

Watch-outs

— Brews extremely slowly
— Splatters while dispensing coffee
— Requires refilling water reservoir after every cup

Keurig K-Supreme Plus Smart Single Serve Coffee Maker

4.7

2 sources$199.99as of Jul 31

The Keurig K-Supreme Plus Smart Single Serve Coffee Maker uses Keurig's MultiStream technology, which punches five holes in a K-Cup pod instead of one to improve extraction. Reviewers said coffee quality benefits, and brew strength, temperature, and drink sizes are all adjustable. Others criticized the brew temperature and extraction time as still short of where they should be. The price is premium, which pushes it out of reach for budget buyers. It fits people who want convenience plus decent coffee quality but don't need the full smart connectivity of the K-Supreme Smart model.

Strengths

— MultiStream technology improves coffee extraction and flavor
— Offers 6 brew size options (6-12 oz) and 5 strength settings
— Includes programmable buttons for saved brewing preferences

Watch-outs

— Brew temperature still too low for optimal extraction
— Extraction time remains insufficient for full flavor development
— Price is fairly high compared to basic models

How they stack up

Keurig K-Mini Plus Single Serve Coffee Maker

The K-Mini Plus is the most compact option, surpassing the K-Classic and K-Duo in space-saving design, but it's significantly slower and splatters more than the K-Supreme Plus. Unlike the Keurig K-Elite, it lacks temperature control and brew size customization, making it less versatile for users seeking quality over simplicity.

Keurig K-Supreme Plus Smart Single Serve Coffee Maker

The K-Supreme Plus introduces MultiStream technology that improves extraction quality compared to the Keurig K-Elite and K-Classic, but it's more expensive and still falls short of optimal brew temperatures. Unlike the Ninja DualBrew Pro, it lacks a built-in milk frother, and while it offers more customization than the K-Mini Plus, it's less compact and doesn't support ground coffee brewing.
