Mr. Coffee BVMC-KG6-001 (click to enlarge)

Single cup coffee perfection. Sometimes, making an entire pot of coffee is not what you want. Single serve coffees are often filled with more flavor, and they are always faster to brew. The Mr. Coffee BVMC-KG6-001 is a single serve model that even includes K-Cup and Keurig Brewing Technology.

Build Quality

Mr. Coffee is an entry-level brand that is known for moderate pricing and longevity. With Keurig Brewing Technology included, the BVMC-KG6-001 has the quality of Keurig – which is very high. All of the exterior is made of hardened plastic.

Design & Features

There’s a lot to like with this little brewer:

• K-Cup compatible to brew coffee, tea and cocoa.
• 40-ounce water reservoir for multiple brews without refilling.
• 6, 8 and 10-ounce brew sizes.
• Removable drip tray.
• Large enough to fill a travel mug.

There are no advanced programmability features, so you can begin brewing in seconds. First, you can choose from a variety of K-Cups to make coffee, tea or cocoa. Then, you’ll add water and choose your desired cup size before turning on the brew cycle.

There is a water indicator on the front of the machine that will illuminate when water levels are low.

Moving on to the actual brewing cycle, a variety of cup sizes, 6 – 10 ounces, can be placed under the spout. If you need more room, you can remove the drip pan to fit a full-sized travel mug under the spout. From my experience, you will need to run more than one brew cycle to fill a mug of this size.

Taste-wise, you’ll enjoy the same great taste that Keurig models are known for right from this Mr. Coffee model.

Maintenance & Cleaning

The drip tray is removable and can be cleaned under the sink. Since you’re using K-Cups, simply press the top forward and remove when not in use. Everything else can be wiped down. Even the water reservoir comes out, so you can rinse it under the sink.

Durability & Longevity

There is a 1-year warranty included and many users have been using this model for 1 – 2 years without any issues. From my own experience, most coffee makers that break do so in the first few months of ownership, meaning you’ll be able to return them within the warranty period.

Mr. Coffee models normally last 3 – 5 years without any issue.

Price

This model won’t set you back a lot. Especially considering its features and pros – a steal for Keurig taste and Mr. Coffee craftsmanship.

Pros

• Keurig brewing technology.
• 1 minute brewing cycle.
• A variety of brew-sizes.
• Easy to clean.

Cons

• Forced to use K-Cups.

Initially, you’re forced to use K-Cup pods, which means you can’t use your own coffee. However, you can purchase a pod that does let you use your own coffee, which is what I recommend if you like grinding up your own coffee beans.

Mr. Coffee mixed with Keurig technology makes this an affordable coffee maker that produces a flavorful coffee. You won’t find another coffee maker in this price range that can produce great tasting coffee in just 1 minute.
