What the K-Slim is built to do
- Before bringing it home, check that you have room for a machine less than 12 cm wide and a nearby outlet for the cord.
- It brews 237, 296 or 355 ml, so you can use your own mug rather than a carafe.
- We'd skip it if you want to brew more than four cups before refilling.
The Keurig K-Slim is a single serve coffee maker for people who want one fresh cup without a full carafe. It offers three brew sizes, so you can match the serving to your mug and your morning.
The machine is less than 12 cm wide, which makes it a practical choice when counter space is tight or shared. MultiStream technology is claimed to extract full flavour and aroma from each pod.
We recommend this for a household of one or two who drink K-Cup pods and want a compact machine that brews in minutes. If you regularly make coffee for a crowd, a drip brewer or larger reservoir model will serve you better.
What this price means for a pod brewer
At $123.00, this K-Slim sits $20.79 below the typical price over the last 90 days of $143.79. That works out to about 14 percent off what it usually costs.
We'd consider it a reasonable buy if you already use K-Cup pods and want the small footprint. Factor in the ongoing cost of pods, which are not included and vary by brand and roast.
The 1.36 L reservoir holds enough for up to four cups before a refill, so plan your pod supply around how many cups you brew each day.

Placement, water and daily care
The reservoir is removable and holds 1.36 L, so you can fill it at the sink instead of pouring from a pitcher. That capacity supports up to four cups before you need to top it up.
Place the machine on a flat, stable surface with clearance above for the lid and enough room to slide the reservoir out. The listed dimensions are 18.625in x 7in x 14.875in, so measure your counter before you commit.
Check the manual that comes with your machine for the descaling interval and the cleaning steps for the removable parts.
When this single serve brewer is the wrong fit
This is the wrong machine if you want to brew a full pot, use loose ground coffee, or avoid the cost and waste of single-use pods. It is also a poor match if you need more than four cups between refills, because the reservoir is sized for short runs.
If you regularly serve several people at once or want a hot water dispenser for tea and instant foods, a larger or multi-function brewer will suit you better. For one or two daily cups in a tight kitchen, the K-Slim keeps things simple.
Before you buy, confirm that K-Cup pods are your preferred format and that the 237 to 355 ml range covers the cup sizes you drink. If you need a travel mug taller than the drip tray allows, check the clearance first.
