This Keurig Coffee Maker Is Practically Free in the Memorial Day Sales

By

Keurig K-Mini coffee maker
You’ll find many appealing deals in today’s Memorial Day sales, but perhaps none so appealing as the Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker. It has a simple, functional design aesthetic that underscores its sole purpose: to brew one cup of excellent coffee. It’s normally $80 and well worth the price, but you can buy the K-Mini for $70, a $10 savings during Amazon’s Memorial Day Sale.

The compact Keurig K-Mini doesn’t take up much counter space. It measures just 5 inches wide. The coffee maker’s water reservoir holds up to 12 ounces of water. You can use any Keurig K-cup single-serve beverage blend, a variety that includes many coffee brands, flavors, and blends plus hot chocolate, espresso, Chai tea, and other drinks.

You can adjust the size and strength of your single-serve brew with the Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker, but there is no manual selection control or digital display. Your custom brew is determined by two factors: The amount of water you add to the reservoir and the flavor and strength of the K-cup you put in the pod holder. If you like a more complicated process, you’ll have to look elsewhere.

A drip tray catches extra coffee if you accidentally brew more than your coffee cup can hold. If you use a travel mug you can remove the drip tray to fit a mug up to 7 inches tall. If you like the simplicity and ease of making a single cup of coffee with the K-Mini but prefer to use your own ground coffee, you can purchase an optional My K-Cup Universal Reusable Coffee Filter that works with the K-Mini. This would also be a good solution for anyone who wants to reduce the waste of single-use pods.

There are plenty of ways to use a Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker. If everyone in the family likes different types of coffee, any of the Keurig coffee makers including the K-Mini can solve the problem with no coffee waste. It’s also much more convenient and less messy to brew a single cup with the K-Mini than to try to estimate the amount of coffee and water to put in a conventional basket brewer. I use a K-Mini in conjunction with a 12-cup basket brewer. I pre-load both coffee makers the night before and when I wake up I press the button to brew a fast, single cup with the K-Mini while the larger machine brews a full 12 cups into a thermal carafe.

Amazon usually sells the Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker for $80 but took $10 off for the Memorial Day sale. The K-Mini sells out frequently, so don’t hesitate to snap one up for $70 during this sale while the inventory lasts.

The smoothest bourbons for fans new to the whiskey style
Let's take a deep dive into "smooth" bourbons
Buffalo Trace

In some whiskey circles, the word “smooth” is considered to be a bad term to describe bourbon. That’s because it’s thought to be a little too vague and doesn’t really describe the spirit at all. Obviously, its simplicity doesn’t do the whiskey style justice.

But if you ask me, there’s no better, simpler way to describe America’s “native spirit” if you’re a beginner. There are a variety of reasons why bourbon is referred to as “smooth,” and I’m not here to shame drinkers if they want to use the phrase. Especially novice drinkers who are just learning the terminology. That said, if you’re new to whiskey, there are countless smooth, gateway bourbons perfectly crafted to get you started on your corn-based journey.

These new Maker’s Mark city bottles are worth a layover
Maker's Mark's new limited-edition bottles celebrate eleven cities around the world — but they're sold only in airports.
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Pretty much everyone can spot a Maker's Mark bottle across the bar. The squat shape, the red wax bleeding down the neck — you don't need to read the label.

That's why it's actually worth checking out their Artist Series, where the City Edition puts artist Alexandra Pacula's work on eleven bottles for a slew of cities: New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney, and Melbourne. Seem cool? There's a catch — it's airports only.

Nikka brings back a beloved 10-year single malt for the first time in a decade
Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old is the first age-statement release from the distillery since Japanese whisky's aged-stock crunch hit in 2015.
Whisky, bottle, label

Nikka Whisky is one of the most exciting names in Japanese whisky, so when they make a big announcement, it's almost always worth taking an interest. That's especially the case with the release of Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old, the flagship expression from its Miyagikyo Distillery — the fruit-forward, mountain-set second distillery Nikka built near Sendai, Japan, in 1969.

This release is the first age-statement Miyagikyo since 2015, and it follows the 2022 return of Yoichi Single Malt 10 Years Old, its coastal sibling. Bottled at 45% ABV, the 700ml release has a $174.99 price tag, so it's not exactly an impulse purchase — and with just 1,572 bottles available nationwide, tracking down a pour may be tough in the first place.
