Welcome to Coffee Corner, I’m your host. Today we’re talking about Keurig’s tiniest brewer yet, the K-Mini Mate. At just four inches wide and priced at $79.99, it launches exclusively at Target on June 29. According to Keurig’s senior director of product management Morgan Lombardi, “we’ve seen that coffee makers, including our own, have started to feel more and more like a machine.” To shrink down the design, Keurig reengineered its pod-punching mechanism into a compact, flat surface that feels “like a soft handshake” instead of a plastic crunch. The result is a brewer with softer curves, rubberized touchpoints, and a stable water reservoir that brews up to 12 ounces of coffee without dominating the countertop. In testing, consumers “fell in love with this product—and they’re saying, you know, it’s small. I haven’t seen anything like this. It’s just really cute. When can I have it?” Simple, stylish, and perfect for first apartments. Stay tuned for more bite-size design news.
