We have owned five Black & Decker Spacemaker coffee makers from three different generations of the line over the past five years. Aside from the fact that they tend to burn out after about 10-14 months (In case anyone over there is listening, I for one would pay more for a more durable unit), we have been VERY pleased with them.
Not so this time. We purchased this product about two months ago to replace our most recently burnt out Spacemaker coffeemaker. Here are our gripes:
1) Water cannister not sealed and virtually impossible to carry from sink without sloshing water all over the kitchen floor and counter. We tried unsuccessfully to remedy this situation by sealing it with caulk. I’ve had to resort to not filling it as full as it otherwise might be, and just carrying it VERY SLOWLY and CAREFULLY.
2) Not infrequently (for example, twice in just the past week for us), the valve from the filter holder to the pot remains closed so that it overflows when brewing a pot, flooding the counter with coffee and grounds. This appears to happen even when the carafe is properly in place. What a mess.
3) Removing the coffee filter holder to make a new pot is likewise nearly impossible to do without spilling condensed water all over the counter including whatever happens to be sitting under the pot at any given time – (keep papers and books far clear of this space if you buy this unit…) The only fix for this I have discovered is to remove the filter holder and the carafe simultaneously and carry them to the sink together in their original configuration. Again, a marked step backwards from previous Spacemaker designs.
We love the concept of the Spacemaker and love the appearance. Although I would not endorse this particular model, hopefully the next one will correct these defects.

We had an earlier model Black and Decker under the counter coffee maker for several years. It was very dependable but was a real pain because we had to screw off the lid on the stainless steel caraffe to pour coffee. It was almost impossible to pour coffee without spilling. Our kitchen has limited counter space so we decided to try the new model 750. The new glass caraffe pours coffee nicely. We are happy with the coffee maker except for filling the water container. It is difficult to see the water indicator to know how much water you are pouring into the container. You have to be careful in moving the container to avoid spilling water. We have an eight cup plastic measuring cup in the cupboard and have found it to be a an easy way to fill the water container. We don’t remove the water container from the coffee maker. We just pull the water container out about half way so the water fill opening is exposed and then pour the water into the container. We would buy the coffee maker again but deduct one star due to the issue of filling the water.

Desperate for counter space, I bought this unit in spite of the reviews. I’d had a Mr. Coffee under the cabinet coffee maker for 15 years and wanted to update my kitchen(and I wanted ‘brew stop’). Too bad B&D doesn’t have any competition, otherwise they’d pay attention to reviews of their under cabinet models that have been fairly negative for years. So here’s my very recent experience:
-Difficult to install, even for very experienced handyman/contractor husband
-What’s up with back-lit cup area on reservoir, but no back light on clock?
-Had to hold carafe into filter spring until it started to fill about 1/4 full, or the coffee would just dribble into carafe
-So difficult to fill reservoir, unless you take lid off and use carafe to fill it, making it more steps to fill than necessary
-Non-removable lid makes it hard to clean carafe
-Hot plate did not keep the coffee hot
-Unit simply quit working after only two weeks
-The only really good thing has been the excellent and speedy customer service from Applica, who replaced my unit within two weeks(they did charge me a nominal $8 shippin/handling fee, though), only had to send them the cut plug from the non-working unit.
-New unit does makes good coffee, I love the space-saving feature, and it looks pretty decent……….I see they now have an under cabinet model with a thermal carafe.
I hope the B&D people pay serious attention to the customer reviews and try to make a quality product. I know that I would be thrilled to pay a little more if I knew the product was going to last 10 years. I’ve had appliances that have lasted 15-20 years, and they have not been designed to fail…

This is the worst coffeemaker I have ever owned. My mother had one back in the early 90s that made the best coffee, so when I went to buy a coffeemaker in my new house, I looked around and found this one. On the Shopping Bags, they recommended it as well. So I thought I was safe, buying a tested American brand, Black and Decker.
Obviously they’ve outsourced to China along with everyone else. My first coffeemaker mysteriously stopped working after about 4 months, and my warranty replacement is much more persnickity. I have the coffee filter basket problem mentioned by an earlier poster, which leads to hot coffee everywhere once in a while when I forget to let it finish draining while I hold it.
I could deal with all of that, but the coffee it makes tastes terrible. I’ve cleaned it, descaled it, rinsed it, tried different amounts of grinds, tap water, filter water, Poland Springs water, you name it.
I am seriously frustrated. Booooooooooo to you Black and Decker. I thought I was paying more for a quality product. I might as well have purchased something for $15.00 at the grocery store.

Besides the reservoir and basket problems others have discussed, I have a serious issue with a coffee carafe with a permanent lid: the lid cannot be removed from the carafe. This means that the carafe doesn’t go into the dishwasher, and washing it by hand requires manual contortions to clean the inside. It’s obvious that whoever designed this device didn’t think beyond the sales floor. Shame on Black & Decker for marketing this coffeemaker. It would have taken very little to make a much better product.
