Keurig - K-Slim Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker - Black

>> Summary As expected, Keurig does not disappoint, we have been using the K-Slim single-serve model for the past few days and we have been delighted, particularly with its speed. With different flavors to choose, we can satisfy different tastes in the family and friends fast, very convenient. > Favorable: it is very fast, comparably light, it has a very simple interface, and its size saves space on the counter, especially when compared to older Keurig single-serve models. > Not-so favorable: although it is slim, it feels like it could be even smaller (but we figure that the internal mechanics may not make it possible). >> Setup Nothing special, just need to: - remove the safety tape - rinse the water tank - plug it in and do a first cleaning cycle You are ready to taste the different flavors your k-cups provide. >> Brewing The K-Slim provides a simple interface with no fancy display, just a couple of button indicators, yet quite easy to use. Fill-up the tank with water whenever the Add Water sign lights up, place the k-cup into the receptacle, select one of the cup sizes available (8oz, 10oz and 12oz), push the middle button and in a few moments your drink is ready. >> Comparison to a Keurig B60 We own another Keurig B60 single-serve model, and the K-Slim has a few advantages: - it is faster to start brewing - it has an enhanced dripping container - it is much lighter - it takes less space >> Other thoughts We find the K-Slim easy to move around because of its weight and shape. We feel we save more space compared with our older Keurig; this is a plus if you have a crowded kitchen counter like we have. The dripping container is extremely useful, it prevents to make a mess on the counter if a wrong cup size is used (which I unfortunately already did). If you need or are looking for a single-server Keurig, perhaps this is the one you would definitely want to have.

The Keurig K-Slim is sleek, compact and user friendly. With 3 brew options - 8, 10 and 12 ounces, it offers brewing for various sized coffee cups and to-go insulated cups. Keurig did a great job designing the K-Slim. Its compact, sleek looking, easy to use and takes up very little counter space, especially when compared to our old Keurig 2.0 machine. The size of the machine allows it to easily fit on the counter top under any wall cabinets. Our wall cabinets are about 12" deep and the machine only slightly extends out beyond that since it's around 14" deep. One thing I noticed about the machine is that I need to be careful of the K-cup needle when adding and removing K-cups. Overall I like the machine and I'm very happy with it and the reduced space it takes up on the counter top. I just need to be careful adding and removing k-cups.

About Keurig K-Slim The Keurig K-Slim is Keurig’s most narrow pod brewer. It’s designed for those of us who have limited counter top space, but still want a Keurig. Keurig has previously made a slimmer model before, but this one measures 5” across, so it is the narrowest model to date. The other main difference between this one and the previous slimmer model is that the K-Slim has a rear-mounted reservoir that can brew three cups without refilling. The older model held only the cup that you were brewing. Set Up Setting up the machine was really easy. Unbox it, fill it, run a clean brew, and then use it. There are a bunch of movable parts. You can take out the cup tray at the bottom if you want to fill a travel mug. The water reservoir is the only other thing that comes off. In the box, there was also a coupon for you to purchase K-Pods and another for a bottle of the cleaner to maintain the brewer. Features The K-Slim can make about 3 or so cups if the water reservoir is filled. There are 3 sizes of brews; 8oz, 10oz, and 12oz. As mentioned the model is only 5” wide so it will fit on a narrow counter top. It is surprisingly deep, so it does take most of the counter top depth. I didn’t look at the dimensions before ordering, and I was a little surprised when I unpackaged it. Maintenance There is some maintenance involve to keep the machine clean just like other Keurig devices. You need to run a clean brew when setting up to clean it out before using. There is also a bottle of cleaning solution that you need to use every so often. The bottle of cleaner appears to sell for $12.00 locally. Another more specific maintenance is that if you are making tea or hot chocolate pods you must run a clean brew after making each pod. If you don’t the nozzle may get clogged. Issues We did have a few issues that Keurig could address. First, the power cord is short. Sometimes your outlet is not directly behind where you need to place it on the counter. Second, there isn’t a strong cup setting (6 oz). When brewing hot chocolate it makes it watered down because the hot chocolate pods are supposed to use the 6 oz setting, not included on the K-Slim. Third, and the biggest issue, while brewing the hot chocolate pods our Keurig shut off during the brew both times that we attempted. We had to reset the Keurig to get it to finish. This is the most concerning to me. Not sure if that is the nature of the model or if mine is defective. The tea pods did not do this. Here is a quick list of Pros and Cons for the Keurig K-Slim. Pros *Easy set up *Narrow design *Cup tray is removable to accommodate travel mug *Improved water reservoir size for more brews, less refills Cons *Short power cord *Deep design takes up most of the counter top *Have to run a clean brew after every tea or hot chocolate *No strong cup setting *Our unit kept shutting off during hot chocolate brews I’m giving the Keurig K-Slim 3 stars. I would bump it up to 4 if it wasn’t shutting off during the hot chocolate brews. It’s a decent pod brewer and is easy to use. The narrow design is ruined a little with how deep it is. I would like to see it be a little more compact. If Keurig could fix the cord length and add a 6 oz setting I think it would help.

So, bought this for my wife, last Keurig purchased was over 5-6 years ago and want to update it because it was acting up. So decided on this one instead of the mini since it has a water reservoir larger than one cup in size. But, still slim where it won’t take up a large space on the countertop.

Great coffee machine, great value for your money, quick delivered, meet and exceed my expectations.

Keurig K Slim is perfect for any small kitchen and coffee drinkers.

I love how it takes minimal space on my kitchen counter.

So far my husband loves this coffee maker. He has taken it to work because it fits perfectly on top of his toolbox. The three different cup size choices (8, 10, and 12oz) are a great feature as well. It has large 46oz water storage tank that is easy to hold on to while filling, installs easily on 2 slides at the back of the machine. It brews quickly and quietly. All around a very good machine.
