Great "second" K-cup brewer! October 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

After enjoying my full-size B60 at home for about a year now, I really wanted to get one for my office. However, I didn't see the need to buy another B60, or a B40 for that matter, since I'd only be using it a few times a week (I'm not "in" my office that much). Once I heard about the Mini 30, my curiosity was peaked.

I think most negative reviews will be from people who plan on using this as their main K-cup brewer, and that's a shame, because this most certainly is not meant for that job. Reasons why:

1) It has a long brew time (usually around 2 minutes for the 8 oz it holds) and has to be filled with water for each cup.
2) It has only one cup size (8 oz).
3) It has no adjustable temperature setting (but the default is perfectly fine at about 192 degrees).

It has some odd quirks too. For example, there's a separate "power" button that's located quite distant from the "brew" button, and the unit will automatically turn itself off after brewing a cup. So for multiple cups, you have to turn it on, then after loading the k-cup and water, press brew. For each cup. Additionally, the light on the power button is not easy to see if the machine is below eye-level, so I have to squint to see if I pressed it on or not. A more powerful LED (like the blue ones on the B60) or a beeping noise might be helpful to know if it's on, or at least relocate the power button by the brew button!

While not as heavy as, say, a Kitchen Aid mixer, it is quite well constructed. It doesn't have the metal trim of the B60, but chrome finished plastic for the handle on the head, and the grate for the overflow plate. The machine opens and closes with sturdy hinges, so it seems durable for the future. The size is great and the little beauty sits right on my desk with plenty of room for my computer monitor!

Coffee tastes just as good as with my larger K-cup brewer, though with the smaller water volume the darker roasts have more "punch" - especially darker ones like Coffee People Black Tiger, and Caribou Coffee's Mahogany. I'm sticking mostly with medium roasts like CP Donut Shop and GM Nantucket Blend with good results.

P.S. - While there's black and white versions on Amazon, you can get the cool "fire engine red" one is from Keurig direct :)

Perfect gift IF you can part with it! September 30, 2008

You won't want to give this perfect little machine up but it really does make the perfect gift. Even non coffee drinkers will love the selection of hot chocolate and tea K-cups, or use it with a tea bag or instant soup as it gives hot hot water in under 3 minutes. It's going to cost less to run for most people, because you don't leave it on.
At work, it's perfect. Fill it from a water bottle and it quietly brews. At home, I set up an office in the garage and will use it there, or maybe even upstairs ala hotel coffee. If I can't decide, guess what gift I'm hoping someone will give me this holiday!

THE status office accessory September 28, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

It is ADORABLE! Would I have it as my main coffeemaker at home? Maybe...if I drank only a cup or two a day, or had limited space but liked to offer guests a range of brews. At work, it is THE gift of the year. It is quiet, and has lots of great technology to satisfy a coffee geek. It will never mess up your desk, it senses a cup under the spout before it will brew. It turns itself off when the cup is removed. But forget all the many things that make it brew a great cup for one....the machine is good looking, has a small footprint, and looks and feels more expensive than it is. I've tried all of the Keurigs, and this was added to a currently used B70 and a B60 that is soon on it's way to a friend's home. This is the type of machine that simply will make you smile.

Very good just one thing.. September 25, 2008

this should have come with a carring case. there's one available now but it'll put you out $20. They also need to make a hard shell to put this thing in. I didn't throw away the box because the box was/is designed to mold/hug the mini perfectly but is now falling apart(i.e. the box). Yes, the soft carrying case is nice but u need a hard shell if packing your car for a trip is tight. Otherwise this is a solid product
