Our favorite compact pod coffee maker is $30 off

If you are looking for For a new single-cup coffee maker, but only limited counter space, you’re in luck. The Keurig K-Mini, our favorite coffee maker for small spaces, is marked down on Amazon for just $70 in several colors. That’s a healthy $30 off your morning cup of tea, provided you’re not too picky about the details, or just want an afternoon lift in your home office without getting out of your chair.

While larger coffee makers may offer more features like timers or hot plates, the Keurig K-Mini focuses on the nooks and crannies of the tiniest of kitchens or break rooms. It’s just over 12 inches tall and under 5 inches wide, making it one of the most compact options for making coffee of any kind. It’s only dwarfed by small hand-held coffee makers like a coffee maker or Aeropress, but if you don’t feel like grinding beans and boiling water, the K-Mini is a versatile alternative.

Beyond its incredibly compact footprint, the Keurig K-Mini is also incredibly simple and easy to use. The tank holds enough water to brew a cup of coffee for tea, so you can easily fill it with your mug, pour it into a pod, and press the button. There are no extra settings or filters to deal with, which is great if you just need caffeine and don’t want anything standing between you and that first sip.

While the K-Mini is available in a variety of colors, I was able to find $30 off Black, Oasis, and Evergreen. They’re a bit poppier than many other coffee makers and should cover most kitchen color schemes. It’s a great option for the occasional coffee maker or a sneaky second cup in your home office, but if you’ve got a little more space, be sure to check out our complete guide to pod-based coffee makers. If your mornings require multiple mugs or a full pot, be sure to switch to our favorite traditional coffee makers or even upgrade to an espresso machine.
