Brewing single cups in a tight kitchen
- Check the height of your cupboard if the brewer will sit under an upper cabinet, since the product size is given but not clearance for lifting the lid.
- The 1.36 L reservoir is removable, so you can fill it at the sink rather than pouring water into the machine.
If your counter space disappears the moment a coffee maker lands on it, the Keurig K-Slim is built for that squeeze. It measures less than 12 cm wide, so it can sit beside a kettle or toaster without taking over the whole worktop.
The push button controls and three cup sizes, 237, 296 or 355 ml, suit a household that wants one fresh mug at a time rather than a full carafe. MultiStream Technology is the company's name for how the brewer sends water through the pod, and Keurig says it extracts full flavour and aroma.
We'd consider this a good fit for a small kitchen, a home office or a guest room where a simple single cup is the whole job. We'd skip it if you regularly brew for several people at once, since the removable 1.36 L reservoir covers about four cups before a refill.

Room fit and daily use
The narrow footprint is the main practical advantage. At 18.625 in tall and 14.875 in deep, it needs a little depth for the drip tray and cup, so measure the counter before you commit.
The reservoir holds 1.36 L and lifts out for filling. Keurig lists three brew sizes, and the push button controls keep the routine simple. Twilight Blue is the finish shown here.
K-Cup pods are the consumable, and the cost per cup depends on which pods you buy and where you buy them. That running cost is not part of this price, so it is worth checking your usual pod price before treating the brewer as the full cost of your coffee.
When this single serve brewer is the wrong fit
Pass on the K-Slim if you usually make a pot for two or more people at the same time. The reservoir covers about four cups, and each brew is one cup, so a carafe brewer will serve a full table faster.
It is also the wrong pick if you want a built-in grinder, milk frother or programmable timer, because the listed controls are push buttons and three cup sizes. If you need those functions, choose a machine that includes them.
If you are happy with a compact, pod based brewer for one mug at a time, check the counter depth, your preferred pod format and the current pod price before you buy.
