Design and Construction

The Mueller coffee maker is a travel-friendly coffee maker that makes it the perfect traveling companion. It comes with a solid construction that contributes to its durability and has a modern design that complements well with any countertop. 

While it does have a sturdy construction, it is made out of plastic, so the machine is a lightweight at only 3.85 pounds. 

Size

The compact size of Mueller Ultima single serve pod is what makes it popular among users. This coffee machine stands at 8.5 inches tall, 9.8 inches wide, and 6.6 inches deep. This makes it super easy to lift should you need to travel or move to another location. 

Because of its compact size, you can simply prop it at the corner of your workstation, and brew yourself a cup in just 3 minutes.

Indeed, this is one of the most compact and lightest units you can purchase in the market.  

Safety Features

The Mueller coffee maker comes with an auto shut-off feature, which is an incredible function for a coffee maker at this price range. The unit turns off on its own after the completion of one brewing cycle.

This does not only save you cash on electric bills but also gives you peace of mind knowing your coffee machine is not running on days when you are in a hurry. 

Brew Time

True to what many Mueller coffee maker reviews are saying, the Mueller Ultima single serve K cup coffee maker brews the coffee at an average pace of three minutes. While it is not as fast as BUNN HB Velocity Brew, it still gives you a fresh, flavourful blend in just a matter of minutes.

With what it can do, this coffee maker is closely at par with Keurig’s compact line of coffee machines, so this is something to look out for.

Clean-Up

This does not have a strenuous clean-up process, as it only takes less than ten minutes for the machine to be good as new again. The drip tray is removable and can be washed by hands.  

To descale the coffee maker, you can use a mixture of vinegar and water. Simply pour equal parts of water and white vinegar into the tank, press the button to turn on the machine, and start a brewing cycle. Turn it off midway and let it sit for about an hour. Turn it on again after an hour and let the cycle finish. Pour the mixture out and rinse the tank. Fill it with water and let it run for 2-3 more cycles. The last step removes the smell of vinegar.
