Ideal for office desk November 16, 2008

I keep this on my desk at work. It is a little noisy towards the end of the brew, but definitely much quieter than the full size Keurig machine I have at home.
Very easy to use and I have a freshly brewed hot drink of my choice whenever I'm in the mood. I love my little mini Keurig!
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 loved my B70 so much I thought I'd buy this one for the office, but it cannot compare to the B70 for a good cup of coffee. I don't have a thermometer, so I don't know if it's the temp or the lack of pressure, but it was a waste of my money.
 Great "second" K-cup brewer! October 5, 2008

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 :)
