$110.9as of Jul 9

The Keurig K-Mini Plus is a compact, space-saving single-serve coffee maker designed for small spaces like dorm rooms or apartments. Reviewers noted its sleek design and simple operation, with the removable water reservoir and strength control being key positives. However, it brews slowly and splatters during dispensing. While it delivers decent coffee quality, the environmental impact of K-Cups remains a concern. It's best suited for those who prioritize portability and simplicity over brewing speed and advanced features.

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

$199.99as of Jul 9

The Keurig K-Supreme Plus Smart Single Serve Coffee Maker features Keurig's MultiStream technology, which improves extraction by punching five holes in K-Cup pods instead of one. Reviewers noted it delivers better coffee quality and offers customizable brew strength, temperature, and drink sizes. However, some reviewers criticized the brew temperature and extraction time as still being suboptimal. The machine also comes with a premium price tag, making it less accessible for budget-conscious buyers. It's best suited for those wanting a balance between convenience and coffee quality without the full smart connectivity features 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.
