Keurig K-Mini Manual
The K-Mini Use & Care Guide covers the single-cup water reservoir, initial cleansing brew, pod holder, needle cleaning, descaling, and the brew indicator. It is useful when a cup is short or brewing takes longer than expected.

Getting started
- Remove packing tape, extend the stored cord, and put the brewer on a suitable surface with a mug on the drip tray.
- Add 8 ounces of water and run the one-time cleansing brew without a pod, following the handle and BREW-button sequence.
- For coffee, add the desired water amount within the 6–12 ounce marks, insert a K-Cup pod, close the handle, and press BREW.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the drip tray, reservoir, and pod-holder parts as directed. Follow the needle-cleaning diagrams carefully and use the complete K-Mini descaling and rinse procedure.
Common questions
Do I refill it for each cup?
Yes. The single-cup reservoir is filled for each brew; the water amount determines the cup size.
Why is my cup only partly filled?
Check the reservoir fill and the troubleshooting section for grounds blocking the needles. Follow the cleaning steps before trying another brew.
Should I peel the foil off a K-Cup?
No. Insert the intact pod and close the handle as shown in the guide.
