How to Use a Keurig Mini

Keurig's are designed for convenience and easy use. But they can be a little confusing when you first start brewing with them.

Using a Keurig - Brew Your First Cup

Most grocery stores offer a large selection of K-cups - coffee, tea and hot chocolate.

  1. Plug your Keurig in. The cord is found at the back of the brewer.
  2. Press the power button (the small button located at the top of the brewer). The power button will illuminate.
  3. Lift the water reservoir lid and pour 8oz of water into the reservoir. For best results, use bottled water. Do not fill past the MAX or below the MIN fill lines. Lower the lid and place your mug on the drip tray.
  4. Lift the handle. Place a K-Cup pod in the K-Cup pod holder. Do not remove the foil lid on the K-Cup pod.
  5. Lower the handle completely to close the lid. The brew indicator light will flash to indicate that the brewer is ready.
  6. Press the brew button (the large button on top of the brewer). The brew indicator light will illuminate solid, then begin to pulse while the brewer is heating.
  7. After about 2 minutes, the brew indicator light will illuminate solid again and the beverage will begin to dispense. Brewing is complete when the brew indicator light is no longer illuminated.
  8. Do not lift the handle during the brewing process.
  9. When complete, lift the handle and dispose of the used K-Cup pod.
