Product Description
The Keurig Mini brewer is a great solution for gourmet coffee lovers in locations where a compact size, and minimal features is ideal. It is an excellent companion for vacation homes, cabins, college dorms, boats, RVs, or home office desktops. The Mini is compact, easy to use and brews an 8-ounce cup anywhere you can take it along and plug it in. The mini heats 8 ounces of water in about 3 minutes and then brews just like our regular brewers with no water remaining in the brewer. Now you can enjoy consistently brewed gourmet coffee tea and hot cocoa, virtually anywhere.
All Keurig brewers use Keurig's patented K-Cup (dedicated pod-like) single portion packs. K-Cups are "mini-brewers" that eliminate the hassle of grinding beans, measuring coffee, handling filters and messy clean-up while brewing a gourmet cup of coffee or tea in less than one minute. Gourmet coffees, teas and hot cocoa distinguish Keurig from its competition. With over 200 different coffee, tea and hot cocoa varieties from 13 gourmet partners, Keurig is designed to meet the many tastes of hot beverage drinkers.

 Few tradeoffs for serious convenience September 6, 2008

I previously purchased a B40 for my office. The convenience and selection of coffees immediately made it a favorite among co-workers and myself. Of course this meant that I wanted one for home. One problem with the B40 is the noise. Not bad for an office environment but unforgivable first thing in the morning at home. When the B30 was announced and promised to be quieter, that was just what the doctor ordered. This thing is VERY quiet in comparison. I only drink one cup in the morning prior to going to work so the lack of a reservoir is not an issue. If you want multiple cups 30 seconds apart this is not the machine for you. If you don't mind the extra step of dumping a cup of water in a hole and waiting 2 1/2 minutes after you press the brew button (if you own the B40 you were already doing this when you turned the power on) then this machine is great. Oh, and the small footprint means you can be very flexible in where you decide to put it. No major concessions in the countertop usage arena. Bottom line, quiet convenience in a small package makes this a winner.

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.
Awesome! October 31, 2008

I bought the mini after using one in a hotel. It is perfect for my classroom--the coffee is always hot and brews perfectly. The selection of K-cups is great and they are reasonably priced--about 50 cents a cup. Love, love, love this machine--def. worth the money!

I have the B40 and have recently purchased the B30. I use the B40 for home and enjoy it with my husband.
The coffee at work is sub-par at best and for some time now wanted to purchase another B40 for my office. I didn't want to share it with the other 30 people in my office by putting it in the shared kitchen. My co-workers are nice people, but considering how the fridge looks, they're not the most considerate in the "shared appliances" world.
So when Keurig people came out with the B30, I was happy to check it out. It has a small footprint -- perfect for my desk. It's a attractive, yet not so flashy so may go un-noticed on my desk area at work.
It makes coffee just as well as my full-sized machine. I plan to use it regularly with a "My K-Cup" that I purchased. I think the design is nice and sleek overall.
There are two ways to turn on the machine. One is to simply push the power button. The other is to simply open up the slot to put the K-Cup pod in, and the machine will automatically turn on when you close it. Once you close it, the cap for the water resevoir opens for you to fill. Once you fill and close, THEN you place your cup. When it senses your cup, you push the brew button, and it silently heats up the water and dispenses in about 2 minutes. Once you take your cup, the machine will automatically shut off. Nice. However, not so nice if for a family - repeating is too time consuming for more than 2 people.
I also have to say that it is silly that the machine turns itself off -- since just after brewing, you'll want to take the K-Cup out to toss. Opening of course, just turns the machine back on. I guess some people just leave the machine with the used K-Cup in until the next brewing. That sounds gross to me, but I understand the logic there.
The brew time of two minutes may sound like an eternity to some people - but it's a lot faster than a trip to Starbucks when you're busy at work. And it's worth the time compared to awful free coffee the have in the kitchen.
For the price difference between the B-30 and B-40, however, if I were a new buyer, I would definately go with the larger B-40 model.
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!
