 This coffeemaker is great if you know how to make it work April 13, 2007

Oops! I wrote this review 15 months ago, but I've changed my mind because the timer on my coffeemaker broke and I can no longer set it at night to make coffee for me in the morning. Unfortunately this coffeemaker is the only one made by anyone that fits the cabinet space in the kitchen of the house I built, so I still use it, and will until it finally dies. I'm not going to build a new house to fit the coffeemaker! I'm buying a back up to replace my Black & Decker Spacemaker coffeemaker, but I cannot recommend it anymore to anyone else. The rest of my review below is still correct but Black & Decker's quality control is poor. Richard Weston-Jones
I've used Black and Decker spacemaker coffeemakers for ten years, had a miserable one with my last (the B & D with a thermal pot) that I used and threw away when it stopped completely. That one is hopeless for many reasons. After researching over the counter coffeemakers thoroughly I settled on a new one, the Black and Decker Spacemaker ODC440B (B is for black, I think).
Holding my breath I ordered it from an Amazon store. It was perfect, except for one flaw that is easily overcome. The timer races ahead when brand new. I could not get it to set the coffee to start at the right time because the timer went too fast. I called customer service at the company and they admitted the flaw. They said to unplug the coffee maker, wait ten minutes, and plug it in again. I did that, actually waited two hours, plugged it in and reset the timer. It worked perfectly. However several days later when I didn't finish the coffee in the two hours the timer allots, I pushed the On button to get the heating plate to continue to keep the coffee warm. It did that but that day the timer started to race ahead again. I unplugged it again, waited a couple of hours and plugged it in again. It reset itself perfectly again. Apparently the timer gets confused when you ask it to keep coffee heated without water in the resevoir to brew a fresh pot.
Other problems I have read about, the coffee running over, appear to be caused when you do not push the water resevoir in hard enough to hear the lock click or when you don't push the coffee pot in on the warming plate far enough to hear it click. When you do both, the ODC440B Black & Decker coffeemaker works well, makes good coffee, keeps it hot and fresh for two hours. Perhaps similar white B & D spacemaker coffeemakers will work well that way too. Mine sits on a slide-out tray above my counter. I didn't attach it permanently to the cabinet above the counter. I couldn't find any company that makes a similar over-the-counter coffeemaker, but if you use this one correctly, it's great.
 Lemon 2 - Buyer beware July 22, 2006

We just purchased the newest version of the SpaceMaker. I was very excited when I saw it; we had tried the carafe version, and thought it was horrible (wouldn't pour.) I have been waiting for B&D to go back to the old design now for two years.
Unfortunately, I'm begining to think it wasn't a one-time design flaw, but B&D now. The new coffee maker has big problems; the grounds drawer keeps popping out . . . backs up, grounds everywhere . . . buyer beware, this one isn't any better than the last.
I got a lemon May 25, 2006

I bought this to replace my previous Black & Decker Spacemaker which I loved but finally gave out after about 5 years. Had some problems right from the start, the mounting bracket installs with the screw going up into the cabinet (previous ones I owned had the screw head in the cabinet with the rest of the screw outside below cabinet.) This new mounting limited the use of my cabinet because of 4 screws coming up into cabinet. Decided to try it just sitting on countertop. When the coffee brews the water drips into grounds bashet and the grounds basket would be forced open about a quarter inch, just enough to activate the sneak a cup freature. The water would collect in the grounds basket eventually spilling all over the counter. The only way to stop this from happening was to hold the basket shut while the coffee was brewing. I don't know if I just got a lemon or if this is a design problem. I returned it and bought another brand. Would have really liked the spacemaker though to free up some countertop. Hopefully they will eventually correct the problems with this model. Really disappointed it didn't work.
NOT a lemon! December 28, 2006

I read all the reviews before I bought this, but I took them with a grain of salt. This is the only brand of cabinet-mounted coffeemaker I could find. It works just fine. I especially love the removeable water reservoir because I don't have to fill the carafe and then pour it into the machine. Just fill the reservoir and pop it in! I have not had any trouble with the brew basket popping out or any of those problems other people mentioned. The mounting procedure was rather difficult, because our cabinets have a pretty large overhang. I think they could design that better. My old coffee maker had a different system that worked better. We had to cut a piece of wood to fit under the cabinet and take up some of that space, in addition to the spacers. It was difficult to get it level. Also, the issue of the screws protruding into the cabinet bottom is true. They should have designed it so that the screw head is inside the cabinet and the end of the screw is someplace else. Luckily since I had so much space to fill in, the screws don't protrude very far, and I covered the bottom of the cabinet with a piece of floor linoleum so my dishes don't catch on the screws.
 Great Coffee.Maker......Thanks B&D September 28, 2006

I have been a big fan of B&D Spacesaver CoffeeMaker since the first one came out. I was so happy they came out with the product again. I look over all these reviews prior to my new purchase of the Black & Decker ODC440B SpaceMaker? 12- Cup Under-The-Counter Coffee Maker. I really took the comments with a grain of salt since I am so familiar with the product. I just got my CoffeeMaker today and as always it is Great! There is nothing wrong with this design. Some people just don't know how to make coffee or how to pull a pot off the warming tray. Everything locks in place. The resivoir has a release button so it won't pull out unless you click the button and the gind cup locks in place too. No leaks just a great cup of coffee. My husband and I couldn't wait for this product to come back. We are very pleased. It makes the best coffee and is really attractive in the black. The mounting system works fine too just gotta know how to use a screw driver. Thank You B&D.
