Single Cup Coffee Brewers

Single Cup Coffee Brewers

Single serve coffee makers are the latest thing in quick and easy coffee brewing so there are plenty on the market to choose from. The Keurig Mini Plus is in the medium price range for single serve coffee makers and here is a review of its other features.
Appearance: This is a neat and compact coffee machine. At 12.7 x 12.2 x 12.7 inches, it is indeed “mini” in terms of coffee machines and would suit a small kitchen admirably. In addition, you can choose from black and chrome, platinum and chrome or red and chrome to really brighten up your coffee making experience.
Reservoir: The reservoir is not removable, making it less easy to clean and fill. It only holds a maximum of 10 fluid ounces.
Drip Tray: The drip tray is removable so it is quick and easy to clean.
Scale: There is no warning light to indicate when the machine needs to be descaled.
Brewing System: As with the larger Keurig single serve coffee makers, this one can be used to make any drink needing hot water. You can use the K-Cup pre-filled pods for tea, coffee or cocoa or you can use your own preferred blend when you buy a special filter. Users say that if you want to do this, you will need to use coarser ground coffee to prevent clogging of the mechanism. They also say that you should remove the used K-Cup immediately after brewing or the cold grounds can also clog up the machine.
Ease of Use: Simple, particularly if you use K-Cups which are very clean. Users say that room temperature water should be used and refrigerated water doesn’t reach brewing temperature.
Drink Size: Drink sizes are 6, and 10 fluid ounces, depending on what strength you want your drink.
Customer Service: Available 24/7 and users report excellent experiences when they have needed to contact Customer Service.
Here are the pros and cons of the Keurig Mini Plus:
Pros: Clean, quiet, easy to use, removable drip tray, neat and available in three colours, three drink sizes to choose from and excellent customer service.
Cons: Reservoir is not removable and needs to be refilled after each drink, no descale indicator, K-Cups are pricey but cheaper than going to a caf©.
In conclusion, unlike other single serve coffee makers with large reservoirs, this really is a single serve machine unless you want to be constantly refilling it. It is medium priced and suitable for use in an office environment because it is very quiet.
