The Keurig MINI Plus is the smallest model of single-serve coffee brewer that Keurig offers. It may not be suitable for all uses and situations but for anywhere you need a smaller-sized machine, this is perfect. If your kitchen is small, or you are simply on a tight budget, check out the Keurig MINI Plus.
With the Keurig MINI Plus (B31 or B32), the water reservoir is quite small (to allow for the smaller machine) and you will have to add more water with each cup you brew. But since the machine is really only intended to make a few cups each day, that's not too much of an inconvenience. If you plan on making 5 or 6 cups (or more) each day, you should probably think about getting a larger unit.
The controls for the MINI Plus allow for 3 cup sizes (6, 8 or 10 oz) when brewing and you can remove the drip tray to accommodate tall cups or travel mugs. To change how large a cup you want to brew, just adjust how much water is in the reservoir. It will use as much water as you put in, so filling to 10 oz will produce a 10 oz cup of coffee.
Other than that, there aren't a lot of complicated controls on the machine. You put in your Keurig K-Cup and press brew once it has finished heating. You do not have to fuss with temperature or brewing times. There is an auto-shutoff if you leave the machine untouched for 90 seconds.

If you are after the Keurig MINI Plus because you have limited space and need the smaller footprint, the actual measurements are 10.8" high x 6.9" wide and 10.7" deep.
This model of the Keurig is available in black, red and platinum so you should be able to get one that goes well in your kitchen or office setting.
Like all Keurig coffee makers, this is a single-serve type of coffee brewer. That means it takes small pre-packed pods of coffee grounds and will only brew one cup of coffee at a time, which is significantly different than the standard drip machines that make a whole pot. It will brew you a cup in under a minute so waiting for a fresh cup is no problem.
These pods are called Keurig K-Cups and they come in a wide range of varieties for coffee as well as tea and hot chocolate. Depending on where you purchase your Keurig MINI Plus unit from, you likely will get a variety pack of 12 different K-Cups. That's a nice bonus that lets you taste several different coffees right when you get your machine.
