Best Single Serve Small Coffee Maker
Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker
Pros
Fast brew time
Super small size
If you've heard of coffee, you've heard of Keurig. The brand is the go-to when it comes to single serve pods. We love the Keurig K-Mini because it's super skinny (it's less than five inches wide!). It also has fast brew time and great color selection. It also doesn't hurt that there are 50,000 five-star reviews on Amazon raving about the "ease of operation" and how the coffee comes out "very hot" every time.
