Welcome to DIY Live tech! Today, we are answering the question of what size of pod the Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker uses. A lot of people think that the “mini” name implies that it uses miniature pods, but that’s not the case.
The Keurig K-Mini actually uses full-size Keurig pods, or K-Cups, the same ones you would use with any other Keurig coffee maker.
Compact Design
The “mini” refers to the K-Mini’s compact design. The Keurig K-Mini is a miniaturized version of the larger Keurig brewers, so you can easily fit it into a small space in your kitchen, office, or cubicle.
It takes up minimal space, due to its lack of a huge reservoir. You are only using the amount of water you need to brew one cup of coffee at a time, which allows the machine to be extremely compact.
Compatibility
The best part is that the Keurig K-Mini works with the whole range of Keurig K-Cups, despite its small size. So, you don’t need a mini cup to use this mini brewer. You can enjoy all the same pods that you would with a regular Keurig coffee maker.
The Keurig K-Mini is a great option if you’re looking for a small, compact coffee maker that still uses the same, full-size Keurig K-Cups.

The time is from DIY Live Tech and this is an answer to the question of what size of pod the Keurig K-Mini coffee maker uses. Don’t let the “mini” name fool you – a lot of people think “okay, mini – that means it uses miniature pods.” Actually, it doesn’t. It uses full size Keurig pods – the same K-Cups that you would use with any other Keurig coffee maker.
The “mini” name just really means that it’s a small device. You can see it fits into a small space – it’s basically a miniaturized version of the larger Keurig Brewers that you might see. That means you can squeeze it into a small space in your kitchen, or even have it in your office in a cubicle or something like that.
It’s mini in terms of size, but if we pop it open you can see that it’s the same size of holder here. The same kind of Keurig K-Cups are going to go in there – your standard ones – you don’t need a mini cup to use this mini Brewer.
I love that it works with the whole range of Keurig K-Cups, but itself is extremely compact. This is partially because you don’t have a huge reservoir – you’re just using the amount of water that you need to brew a single cup at a time. That allows them to make the machine super compact and easy to fit in. And yeah, it still uses the normal size K-Cups.
