Solving everyday problems that shouldn’t exist in the first place: That’s the 3D printing way.

The problem with the K-Mini is that it’s too damn tall on the Z axis. The machine can only hold 10 ounces of water in the first place, maybe 11 or 12 if you stretch it above the max. fill line, so that’s largest pour it can ever do. But for some reason the outlet nozzle is mega far away from the drip tray. 6", in fact.

So that means as your coffee dribbles into your mug that is, if it’s relatively normal, between 3 and 3-1/2" tall, it splashes all over everything. The backboard on the machine, the outside of your mug, the countertop, the floor. Where do they expect anyone to find a 10 or 12 ounce coffee cup that’s 6" tall? Do they think you’ll drink the stuff out of a test tube?

So enter this. Print it, assemble it, stick it on the drip tray. This lifts your mug 33mm, and can be wound out to further lift it to about 55mm, which is plenty enough work with any mug in my house without finding the cats licking coffee off the floor later.

(And yes, I do use reusable filters with it and no, I don’t need to be whined at about “food safe.” Do you drink your coffee out of the drip tray? Of course you don’t. Don’t be stupid.)

    Yay, more plastic for your plastic machine that helps you create plastic waste!

    Go get a small French press and a grinder, Keurig coffee is F tier.

      Do you read? Of course you don’t. I clearly stated in my post that I use this machine with reusable filter cups.

      I can’t stand French press coffee. I have six ways of making coffee if you count the Wacaco Minipresso and the Miele CVA6800, and none of them are a French press.

        Read it, it just made no sense so I took it as a sign that you were deprived of caffeine because your body had rejected the watery, weak bullshit that comes from the reusable pod.

        I kid of course. Enjoy your coffee!
