Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker vs Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker

The K-Classic is the better pick for most households. Its 48 oz reservoir brews several cups before a refill, and it offers 6, 8 and 10 oz sizes plus temperature control. The K-Mini is the one to get when counter space is the deciding factor: it is under 5 inches wide and brews 6 to 12 oz, but you fill it for every cup. Both are plastic machines with similar reliability records; K-Mini owners more often report leaks and clogs within a year, while K-Classic owners say the current build feels lighter than the original.

• Choose the Keurig K-Mini if you have almost no counter space, brew one cup at a time, and want the smallest, simplest pod brewer you can tuck away.
• Choose the Keurig K-Classic if you brew several cups a day, want a reservoir you refill once instead of every cup, and want brew-size and temperature options.
